Nah mate. You could end up giving a shit team a proper drubbing and the goal difference would look extremely different based on 1 game.In the league, we've scored 9 goals. Only 4 teams have scored less. Teams in 16, 17th, 18th and 20th
Our goal difference is -4. Only 5 teams have a worse goal difference than us. They're in 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th
We stink. We really do. People say the table doesn't lie and when 38 games have been played, it rarely does. During the season, a better gauge of where a team are and will go, is the GD IMO.
I agree about the no good alternatives at the moment. However Nuno is a stop gap, we all know it, i'm sure he does as well and if results turn to shit and we hit bottom half of the table and/or a better alternative becomes available he'll be gone. He may potentially last the season if we hovver around 6th or 7th and no decent manager pops up but no way will he be our manager next season. They'd be giving our season tickets away with boxes of cereal.Why dosen,t everyone get behind nuno ,hes not going no where for at least a season ...there are no good alternitives out there, no one wants the job ffs
Just had a quick read up and he's had 2 biggish jobs @ 36 years old , half German and Italian as well.And now I've worked myself into a shoot about how we should go for Domenico Tedesco. I am ready to be disappointed if we don't get him now. Even if we get another good name in instead.
German coaches seem to be the way to go at the momentAnd done decently too. Something obviously went wrong at Schalke when he got sacked (I've sent a message to a friend on twitter who follows Schalke to see if he knows anything about that). But as I understand it he only left Spartak because his family was still in Germany and he couldn't fly them in or leave the country to visit due to Covid.
He was apparently recruited for the Schalke job by the same guy who spotted the potential in Klopp and Tuchel and brought them to Mainz to start their careers.
If we want a young and exciting name he could be worth a gamble.
Yeah yeah that'd nit-picking for sure, but you can bet on the trolls on Twatter to make fun of the name every time we lose. I have heard that he's a great coach, I hate Bundesliga though so I can't say that I've watched his matches (my knowledge of Favre for example is from his time at Nice, not BVB).Changed his name to Adi. Insane and unfair to pass on him because of his name.
Your mixing up Tedesco with Hütter. Hütter is the guy who just beat Bayern.Why would he leave a team that can put 5 past BM, who put 7 past us?
Feck it, I'm Tedesco in now I guess.
As Conte is never gonna happen - Gallardo or Gasperini.
With Paratici in the mix, not sure where we go from here, tho, tbh.
We have a backline that is honestly tailor made for the back 3/back 5 when you look at the players skill sets, yet we stick to the flat back 4.Absolutely no fucking idea.
But I think we should play a back five.
