Marka Ragnos Posted February 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sorry, tired of contemplating relegation. What I'd like to ask is -- from this day forward -- what precisely do we need to do, step by step, in as much detail as possible, to stay up? If you were manager, what would you do, from this day forward? Give us a clear road map for avoiding the drop. Show us your map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted February 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2015 He needs to remove Gabby , Sanchez and then start on building a team that create something Give Gil more of a free role rather than sticking him on a flank and move away from relying on Full backs for creativity so maybe try Sinclair and Bacuna on the wings with delph and Westwood in the middle and Gil free behind Benteke 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2015 surely if you were at the edge of something you wouldn't need a road map, rather you would simply turn around to avoid falling to your death. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted February 21, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) surely if you were at the edge of something you wouldn't need a road map, rather you would simply turn around to avoid falling to your death. Haha. But I hope it's not so much a perpendicular shot off the edge for us as a glancing tangential route, and we might still get back on the track. Here we are ...

SeanO Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Drop Gabby, Delph, Sanchez and Vlaar....................and pray that Weimann, Cleverley, Westwood and Okore suddenly become better players. Lerner/Lambert has left the cupboard bare, whoever made the deal with Derby so that we couldn't recall Bent has droppped the ball there. No I don't think Bent is the answer but Bent scores goals something none of this squad can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Start playing ridiculously attacking football. Throw everything forward and back Sanchez and the defenders to cut off counter attacks. I'm tired of Benteke being the only player in the box for us. Also, Gabby has to start on the bench. Bring him on late against tired defenders and tell him to sprint everywhere, but he just doesn't offer enough at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walesavfc Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 sanchez while a good player is a luxury and tries to do stupid passes at times, Vlaar yesterday got a tackle wrong, think everyone of our defenders have done that at some time. it did look like more players were trying to get in the box yesterday but while it is just bouncing of benteke and there is lead in his boots, it is hard for those trying to join him too. We have no option but to keep playing benteke up top and i don`t think TS was giving any tactics away about saying we need to get it to him earlier either, i think that was said to try boost bentekes confidence. the roadmap is simple get benteke scoring and there will be no problem staying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 He has to identify the players in the squad that are up for the fight and are capable of taking in his ideas and inplementing them on matchday. Cleverly was unfortunate to be dropped so was Westwood. To be honest Lambert has brought in some crap. I don't think players like Cissoko, Sanchez, Hutton, Weimann are good enough to keep us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We certainly need a little bit of luck - can't believe we're the only Prem team yet to be awarded a penalty this season (just to goes to show how little our players are in the opposition box!). Confidence must be rock bottom and a scruffy win could work wonders but I just feel we're never going to get the rub of the green this season. Guarentee that Newcastle, after being thumped yesterday, will be so fired up next week we'll be blown of the park within the first 30 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
