Continued to play a possession game at all cost at Saints, with a squad woefully ill-equipped to do it in the Premier League, and knowing full well it would get them relegated. Presumably hoping for a Vincent Kompany type situation at the end. It's just bad management in my book. You're paid...
I wonder if anybody in their wildest dreams ever envisaged a Manager OUT thread on the same page as a "Is the Champions League now out of reach?" thread on NSC.
That alone should make the Fab OUTers feel like very silly little children.
If anybody can offer any kind of actual inside insight in to this, then I’d be really interested to hear it. But if it’s just what somebody who has never seen the players train guesses, then it’s not really worth discussing.
Yes but you must have some incredible God-given wisdom that miraculously enables you to think on longer than 90 minute timescales. If only others could achieve such enlightenment. I realise it’s an incredible ask for some not to completely give up on European qualification when we are currently...
Has everyone finished now?
We lost a game of football. By one goal.
I’m really sorry to tell you, but we will do it again at some point soon. I hope that doesn’t tip some of you over the edge and you are able to cope with such adversity.
WE’VE LOST TWO IN A ROW AFTER WINNING 6 ON THE SPIN. GET RID! SACK THE MANAGER! TEAR UP THE WHOLE PROJECT AND START AGAIN! BURN THE AMEX TO THE GROUND!!
It really does astonish me time and time again how utterly thick a sizeable proportion of football fans are.
He has never been able to understand that the job that needed doing to completely transform our entire way of playing from 'backs-to-the-wall stay in the Premier League at all costs' to 'expansive, attacking football regularly challenging for European qualification" isn't something you can do...
Maybe that’s why it hasn’t been done yet.
Deep inside the CIA etc they absolutely must have discussed the damage he is doing to the reputation of the USA abroad, and the threat he poses to national security. I guess the fact that an even bigger **** would just take over might be stopping them...
I wonder what happens when somebody shoots this ****.
It’s been mentioned before but there must be elements of various security agencies in the States that have already considered it.
Going to be an absolute class player this guy. He is no worse than MacAllister when he first broke in, and he’s still younger than MacAllister was then. Rutter getting injured should get him the game time he needs now. I think he’ll be one of our best players next season.
Said after Saturday that we will lose the next two, and am standing by that. But there really is no need to panic, we are in a good place overall and will be finishing top 10. Next season is the big one with this squad.
