Yup, especially if Poch is coming back, I can’t imagine 2 managers more philosophically opposed.

I was very opposed to Poch, don't think it'll work at all. But at this stage, literally anyone else will do. This is the worst I've seen.
And yet ONeil is a dinosaur who hadn't managed for what? 10 years? And was a busted flush about the time he stopped working...
..
And had them rocking
Que? I'm not avid enough to give a shit what people's takes are on this forum as if opinions are static. But if you're insinuating Frank is shit therefore Ange did well, ok mate. Deluded. Ange was awful. So far, so is Frank.
Maybe we should nab him before Celtic grab him again, just until Poch is free
I'd go Xavi
A gamble, for sure, but massive upside if it works
If not him, someone like him. Someone plays to win, attacking possession based football, high tempo/intensity, someone who can build and for us to get behind...
Your in the minority but you will find a friend in CJJ. He likes dull, attritional, unimaginative football too.
Only that we did play a good first half.
I dont think they had a shot to show for.
I mean, sure, we could have created more clear-cut chances. But lets not expect miracles from that kind of midfield and forward line. We did enough in 1st half to win the game without any doubts if another similar 45 mins would have followed.
Unfortunately in 2nd 45 the story was very different.
Exactly. Its incredibly underrated how much human connection can impact a group of players.
A lot of it is down to intangibles.
Sure, implementing a long term vision of the way a coach wants to play can take time but we need to identify a style of football the Club wants to follow and hire coachs that fit the style.
That's the way forward.
Frank won't ever be that man imo, Just look at how he wants us to play. Even with better players we'll be a tough watch, albeit we'll pick up more results
It'll be the absolute height of stupidity to back this muppet in January. We're not getting relegated because of the shite 3 teams that will go down. This is just last season again, caveat that with, without missing all of the players at once to injury and a European Cup run to look forward to.
I'm happy with just writing this season off if he's guaranteed to be gone. I've just checked out now, can't bring myself to watch it anymore. But two seasons finishing firmly in the bottom half will hurt the bottom line, which is all that matters to the ownership, so I think they'll act soon. I'd take a a caretaker that will set some fundamentals of functioning football again.
Legit question. Who on our team can you see scoring the goal brobbey did today?
Certainly not richarlison, Odobert, Tel.
We are very behind in the player department and it’s a worry. Looking at managerless Chelsea, they’ve got Cole Palmer and Reece James, Enzo, Estavao, all become our best player alongside VdV. Pedro Neto is better than all our wingers.
It’s dire. We are well off and maybe havent even hit bottom.

It won't happen, can you see Xavi getting anymore out of that front 4 today? Richy can't trap a bag of cement, let alone a football. Tel and Odebert are far too weak for this league.
Don't get me wrong, I'm hardly excited or thrilled with what's going on at the moment on the pitch but this rot at the club has been a long time coming.
Who would you have?
Levels better than Frank
He didn't go in and do anything ground breaking. Just had them go out and play, and feel good about it. Should've kept MON for at least the season.
These guys, like Frank and Nancy are overly complicating everything and the players aren't bought in with their small club mentality style of playing.
No, I’m saying Frank didn’t have some insurmountable task.
Our Prem form was terrible because of the worst injury crisis I’ve ever seen and then they made sure relegation wasn’t possible against Brentford and sacked off the league,
Ange paid for the injuries and the decision to prioritize the league. He wasn’t good enough and too limited tactically.
Frank is worse and doesn’t jibe with the fan base.
The Baked Potato
But seriously... anyone but this stupid gum chewing floppy haired Danish cunt!!!
I think Xavi (or alike) would have the team playing in a shape that means whoever is on the ball has passing options
We have runners, create space and chances
Press high and get transitions in the opposition half
No guarantee of players converting chances, but we'd be much more coherent and create chances more reliably
