| Monk , another Cusack ? 19:55 - Mar 2 with 6517 views | icecoldjack |
Ok lets just forget the Pro Laudrup/anti Laudrup Pro Monk thing for a moment, im sure like me we are all Pro SCFC !!
My own view after these last 6 games is that Monk isnt good enough to manage in this league, he has undoubted qualities and there will be a place for him here in a coaching role, but with every passing game we are looking like a team that only has one way of playing and when it needs changing mid game it tends to lead to us losing or dropping points .
Im really hoping Garry does well here,in fact its just like when Cusack had a go at being manager, every single one of us thought he would be a safe pair of hands ,he was bright and intelligent and a real club man,he had the respect of all the players but he was a total failiure as a manager for us .
Are there parallels to be drawn here ?
I take it as a given that we all want Monk to do really well,nothing id like more than to see him succeed but for me i think he is way out of his depth, have respect of other players is one thing but managing them in the top league is another.
The Palace game was the ultimate test for me,the Cardiff game looked after itself ,this was the game where management and use of resources was required,IMO he failed a big test here today and in the end he was lucky to come away with a point.
Palace are bang average yet after the first 45 mins they bossed the game against us on our own patch, ive never seen such a rubbish team do that to us for a while, we seemed to have no answer for it ,the game was a ust win and we were lucky to draw .
Do you think this appointment is now looking like a mistake ?
Or do you think we are being too harsh on Garry?
Im interested in gauging the thoughts of all my fellow jacks out there, what is the unbiased view on Monk ? |  | | |  |

No I agree with you to a point. I hope he goes on to get another 8/9 league goals which will put him on 18 league goals which will be an excellent tally for a relative youngster in his first year in English football. Importantly another windfall for the Swans as his value will soar.
Facts are facts though, as it stands he has a modest 9 league goals. I'm making the point more from the point of view of the irony that he cost quite a bit more than Danny Graham but may end up with just 2 or so more league goals.
I do have some doubt as to his pedigree at the top level, maybe the consistency in his finishing which will come in time. He missed a few against Napoli which ultimately cost us. I don't blame him really though, as I've said earlier in this thread he's our shining light up front alongside some dire acquisitions.
If we lose Bony we are right in the shi*! |
If Bony's 9 league goals had only come against the poorer sides in the division then there probably would be doubts about his capability. As a number of them have come against Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and Spurs then I think we're probably going to be OK on that score.
Wilf is a player who needs support and delivers the most when he gets it. Yesterday wasn't a great team performance overall so he struggled (with illness also apparently). Build a team around him and I don't doubt for a second that he's capable of 20 league goals in a season. |  |
