OutByEaster? Posted August 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2022 I suppose you have to admire his commitment to what he thinks will work. I mean, it doesn't work, but you can't fault him for commitment to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers was fine against West Ham and has been much better than Konsa this year but who gets dropped to make way for Mings? Of course it's Chambers. What a prick. We cover less distance than anyone we look less hungry less fit less motivated less competitive than any team and it's little wonder. No matter how well people do or how hard they try they just aren't going to feature. Isn't the basics of management just fostering a desire to work hard and improve. He's failed at that basic aspect. Players who are shit will play so don't bother trying. If you come in and do well you won't play the next game so don't bother trying Honest to **** he's the shittest excuse for a manager (not football manager, any manager) I've ever seen.

Granted, the ship is on fire and pointed the wrong direction, but you can't say he won't go down without it.

Didn’t JJ get his first PL goal in this game last season? Not been in the best form lately but he could surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair observation..and McGinn is better when we're playing to counter-attack, too. Still, the combination has never worked. We'll be entirely dependent on hoofing balls all night because neither of the 8s can pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it as that - we're playing with five attacking players and two full backs who he wants to play as wingers. It's hard to counter when seven of your players are already in forward positions. We're playing a team designed to dominate the ball, territory and the game.. Which seems an unlikely outcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been such a epic successful cimbo so far It is literally unbelievable!!! How the hell does he think that this midfield will EVER work…..is he bloody blind!!! To drop Luiz who gave us some much needed control in midfield vs WHam is a total farce. He is clueless and HAS to be sacked. Bangs on about constantly learning….Steven, what the **** have you learned in the last 10 months if you still think JJ and JM are our best combination of 8s?? Absolute joke. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I just don't understand why you would have McGinn + Ramsey over Luiz here. Otherwise good to see Mings back, Buendia + Bailey starting. Still highly likely to get smashed by 4 or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact same team as we played against Palace and same formation against bournmouth He seems to have a home formation with Watkins and ings and 1 behind and an away formation. Shame neither work and we get no consistency. Different drinks for different needs. He thinks he's a tactical genius because he chucks an extra striker on at home like it is 2004 again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
