A large crack pipe probably.I wonder what it would take to get Alonso to consider the Spurs job right now?
Agreed but it was an ok 20 minutes not a whole half. Standards are so low we are championing an ok 20 as the new gold standard.
I'm sure he already had it drafted. Just needs to sign!Apparently Xabi is already penning his rejection letter to us as we speak!
Get offered that within 5 minutes if he stays outside 7 sisters!!A large crack pipe probably.
Just to warn you all,
Frank is shunting Simon’s to LW and playing Gallagher in the 10

I mean... yeah it's now beyond any doubt that Ange Postecoglou was significantly overachieving with the actual level of this squad BUT even with the best will in the world, and injury crisis aside, I don't think even the mighty Greek Australian was getting Top 4...
Can't defend
Can't press
Zero attacking plan
I'll tell you what really gets lost in this shit show. Errors leading to opp chances. Leading the league in errors. Hilarious.
Managers invariably get sacked. Not sure it's always a marker of their competence as opposed to wrong club at the wrong time.
I was not one sold on Alonso just because of his one season at Leberkusen, totally unlike Wengercwuth that lot, off the back of other success.
Top managers are few and far between in my opinion. To name a few obvious ones
Klopp
Guardiola
Emery
Ancelotti
After this lot, it's an assessment of what makes a quality manager.
Alonso possibly took on too big a job too soon, and like Frank (for different reasons), probably walked into a dressing room and expectation that was too big and too complex for him.
Let's see how he goes in his next job, the same as Frank, because it might just be levels.
1. High standards
2. That would be hilarious
RM sack everyone!
Potentially for some games but not long term. Btw Gallagher scored 8 league goals in that position for a struggling Palace team and was one of the best midfielders in the league.
I prefer to see the most effective player starting.
If Xavi recreates his Villa performance then keep him there. If he decides to hide and be a passenger again then he can play out wide until he decides to man up and not go hiding again.
I get you don't mind hiders and make reasons for diabolical stats, performances and contribution but I don't have allegiances like that (and I fucking wanted us to sign Xavi ffs).
You think Palinha doesn’t hide when it comes to receiving passes under pressure? Hes the most diabolical hide and seek player we have in possession. You just like that he tackles people a lot and scored some freak goals.
Gallagher must prefer London for Manuria or B'ham where they don't empty yhe bins!!
