New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

[Bedfordspurs]

2/3 players will improve the starting XI but squad will still be weak.

Again I disagree
The depth was there but so under used it meant when called on they had no momentum

that’s poor planning and management

teams win titles and cups with fringe players having big roles

but it’s all about opinions

If we had dropped Hugo earlier we would be 4th now IMO. We didn’t because we didn’t trust the back up… that’s daft

 

[Gazza]

Not really
A good manager will adapt to the players he has
A brick manager will use it as an excuse and cut off their own nose…

Err what you cannot polish a turd... what a silly comment so by default there are no good managers out there as many have sold players that are not good enough ... by your rationale the next manager needs no new personnel he should make this current crop and excel if he is any good ... dont even know why I replied.

I'm sure I'll get one back, you seem to jump on every post going ... do you do much outside this forum ? You must be one hell of a multi tasker ..

There are calls here to 'spend the club's entire CL windfall on a new contract for Slot'. Yesterday, Slot emphasized that he 'still has a two-year contract', but more as a mantra than as a commitment of any kind. Feyenoord is making the obvious noises in the wake of an unexpected title success, but they seem resigned to losing him this summer.

Hopefully thats right. Can see the media reports otherwise:

- Poch poached by our rivals
- Nagelsmann turned us down
- Slot turned us down

...reminiscent of the Nuno appointment. I'd like to think we get the DoF and Slot wrapped up by end of our season

 

[Baleforce]

No it’s a both
A good coach will develop and grow players
Poch did that
But maintaining that is the hard part
That’s where refreshes comes in…

a coach can only do so much, there are no bad players in professional football, mostly, yes you have outliers, the Messi's, Bale's, Lamela's, and the opposite end, the Henderson's, Noble's, etc

the rest are can be differentiated by how hard they work, personal professionalism should maintain it

Lamela!

 

[Lilbaz]

It's clearly not level with Scotland. It is probably just beneath Portugal however.

Didn't portugal replace france as one of the big 5? Or did psg keep them in there?

 

[Baleforce]

Lamela!

Preach it brother.

I coach a youth team, I'm often asked who is better between two pros, most commonly Messi and Ronaldo, I always give the same answer, it doesn't matter, Lamela is better than both of them.

No
The next manager has to accept that he can’t change every player in one go so he must use who he has and maximise what he has
You can set me up ignore if you want
I’ve done that with a few people
I spend time on him if I’m bored on calls for example
I can multi task
But I do spend too long with my phone in hand

If we play 4 at back our only fullbacks are Royal and Davies, with 3 Porro, Sessegnon/Udogie as wingbacks and Regulion and Spence as cover and at centrebacks Romero and new player leaves Dier, Sanchez, Tantanga, Lenglet? all have been slaughtered on here. 3 in midfield Bentacourt, Skipp/Bissouma and new player with Hobjberg, Sarr, Kulusevski, Devine as cover. 3 up front Kane? Son, Richarlson? With Danjuma? Scarlett and Parrott?

Looks good on paper but too many are untried or have been below par when used, I would love to be wrong but there would have to be a massive improvement on so many of them.

I get the players/team were handicapped by system agrument but have to question their attitude, I rarely saw any fight or disappointment from them in their displays this season at home.

Glad your not my grandson coach.

if his name isn't Erik so am I

Would is a ‘strong’ and untrue statement. AZ were joint top with Ajax with 9 games to go. They could’ve won the title but remember underdogs often tend to fade away at the business end of the season as Arsenal are showing in the PL at the moment.

and Nuno…. And Stellini….

It’s 100% clear that the chairman doesn’t give the manager time at Spurs, surely you don’t disagree with that?

However, Feyenoord didn't fade away at all. They have won their last 12 matches in the league after drawing with PSV in early February. Their last loss was in mid September. Could have been the same with AZ.

There's making Sanchez a world class CB with the ball at his feet, which we would all agree is trying to polish a turd. And then there's putting round pegs in round holes. Or in other words, playing Sonny higher up the pitch facing the goal, giving Bissouma license to roam with a couple of capable CMs around him, not playing Royal as a WB, etc. That's not polishing a turd; it's playing players to capitalize on their strengths. Something that hasn't been done in a while now.

Or as a p!ssed up Grealish in his dressing gown would say,"sh!t I've lost me fvcking slider".

What a legend! (Danny not Grealish )

 

[Finney Is Back]

seeing as things went to brick under Nuno, Poch, AVB….

we need to stop blaming the manager, the problem is on the pitch

You’re half way there….. it is indeed not the manager but you need to look upwards instead of downwards.

 

[Finney Is Back]

Oh come on…. It’s only fair that Danny boy gives the candidates at least a couple of months to work on their PowerPoint presentations.

Yep…. Just as Leicester didn’t fade. It doesn’t automatically mean that AZ wouldn’t have though. I was simply disputing Bedford’s claim that AZ would’ve won the league. They may have or they may not have.
