If you have a sub left, why not put in a midfielder that is fresh? We already had Llorente and Baston on. |
Why not?
Losing 3-1 is the first reason , cork is not an attacking player. The young winger on the bench may have at least beat a man and cross it in for our 2 strikers, I've never seen cork beat a man or cross it in !
Losing a game you put on attack minded players not defensive ones, basic basic stuff.
The only reason for playing cork was to perhaps keep in his good books, keeping the senior players on side, probably why Rangel was on the bench instead of Kingsley. Keeping the dressing room sweet, shows a lack of confidence from bob IMO. |  | | |

Little tip for you, when trying to act a clever c*nt you need a little bit of intelligence or you just end up looking a tw*t. You're a fine example of someone who shouldn't try to be clever. Pork is one one word to describe you I suppose. |
Thanks, Porky.
Now tell me why "Educate me then" requires a question mark.
I'll wait. |  | | |

The issue with Ki is that we don't have a proper partner for him. He likes to sit back to dictate/recycle/hide so the man alongside him needs to have the attacking ability to influence things further forward, but also the defensive industry to cover as well.
What Bradley saw against Watford is that even though we controlled the game, Leon didn't have the craft to create in forward areas (or the stamina to get up and down for 90 minutes). So he brought in Fer, he has more creativity on the ball but is invisible without it, so all control was lost.
Cork's limitations get exposed when asked to push forward (although he is willing). They've never worked well together.
What we needed was Joe Allen. |
Wasn't worth £12 million though, we were strong enough in midfield for a full premier league season with what we had according to some on here.
Warwick was right, trying to educate pork does come to mind. |  | | |

I am fed up of saying it but will have another go....
Frankie nherited a team on its ass. Caution was the only way forward and he saved us. Then the best players were sold off initially followed by poor and late deals in the window. Was it anyway surprising it was taking time to sort that lot out? Even the players coming in were untried and injured.
FG was sorting it out and we appear to have effed up royally by hastily sacking him for untried inexperience. |
This 100%.
All those wanting rid of FG should be really happy clappers now, I wonder why they aren't? |  | | |

When it's used as a question, hence the question mark. Etiquette tells us that it is more polite to ask for a response than it is to command a response which is why I didn't put 'educate me then!!!' Maybe next time I'll put 'could you educate me then?' because you obviously struggle using punctuation to clarify meaning.
Now that's settled I suggest you just stick to the topic of conversation in future rather than try to be a clever tw*t, because you're obviously not. | | | |

Because he wasn't replaced by someone better.
The reason some wanted FG gone was that he wasn't up to the job (forget last season). He wouldn't have kept us up. Nor will Bradley imo. |  |

Ive seen Cork have the goal of the year last year against Liverpool. Who cares anyway? We could have put on Messi and probably wouldnt have scored 2. | | | |

A classic case of beware what you what wish for.
At least he had experience of keeping us up, whereas Bradley has no PL experience of any kind. | | | |

I agree. We should have appointed someone with pedigree not just giving someone a chance.
It's sad, but all the signs are now there. No coming back unless there is a miracle. | |

Indeed. The few on here who think he was not up to it as Swansea manager could see him take over at Inter. This after being touted for the Italian job previously.
Of course he would have kept us up. Now we have to pray Bob has more him in than a naive tactics and boot camp training. The signs are not good..... |  |

Take the rose tinted glasses off mate, FG wouldn't have kept us up. He may have been a decent bloke, but he was the wrong manager for us. As is Bradley.
We are where we are due to the penny pinching, selfish, incompetent board, who have been mis managing the club for years through a series of 'cheap alternative' decisions.
One of which was giving FG a 2 year deal in the Summer. |  |

How can you say of course he would have kept us up? I wasn't one calling for his head but he had 4 points from 7 games and we didn't deserve to beat Burnley . yet our new manager has been totally written off after 3 games. We totally dominated a Watford team sitting in 7th place last week and in another day would have come away with 3 points. I know people want Bradley to fail to suit their agenda but at least wait until he's had a decent stretch of games first. and guidolin getting the inter job doesn't make him the messiah, moyes was manager of Man Utd not so long back | | | |

We deserved to win at Burnley. We were only one win away from taking 7 from 7 when FG was sacked. Despite a tough run of fixtures we could easily have taken some points of the big boys.
I want Bob to succeed but the timing of his appointment was shocking. There is no time for a honeymoon period.
It was a needless and shocking action by the Yanks and was not done for football reasons
I should have added IMHO to my post. It would not have been pretty but FG would have had us as tight as a drum and we would have picked up sufficient points. The improvements in the team as he got to grips with a poor and late window was there for all to see. | |

Burnley was arguable. We should have beat Watford but didn't. We outplayed Hull as well but lost.
I didn't want him to leave, but can understand those who did. The bigger issue is replacing him with a manager with a long record of mediocrity. I doubt many want Bob to fail, plenty expect him to. | | | |

All fair points, I just find it harsh that people are one hand saying that FG was just starting to get right, after 7 league games, 2 cup games and a full pre season. Then on the other hand classing Bradley as a failure after 3 league games. Of the 3 games only really stoke was a shocker. He may not be up to it, but the last thing we wanna be doing is sacking a 3rd manager in the space of a year without giving a fair crack | | | |

Guidolin won his first game. 3 games after that he was a dead man walking. Bob is entering that phase now and has two very tough games next.
I think this is pretty much irrelevant anyway. They brought him in for their own reasons, I'd be amazed if they sacked him after 7 games. | | | |

Well FG did not have a full pre season with the players. Whilst the best had been shipped out the replacements came in injured, late and ununtried. Even so we were one win away from 7 from 7 after a tough run of fixtures when he was shown the door.
With regards to BB I agree. It is harsh to write him off after 3 games. Problem is he is not going to use FG''s blueprint but is trying to impose his own ideas. We do not have the time unfortunately for another 7 games. 8 from 14 will see us right in it.
If it goes all wrong I am not going to blame him, and I doubt very few will. Most of us know who are responsible for this mess. | |

I'm not doubting the logic in what you have said but if we had a really good, experienced manager with the proven ability to get players playing at 90%+ of their ability, do you think we'd still be in this mess? . We know Siggy is world class but he's only been 50% of the player we know and that's pretty much the same for all the others.
I don't see any of our players performing at anywhere near their known potential and while it's clear that 2 or 3 quality additions would obviously improve things, having players playing to their potential would also make a massive difference before those 2 or 3 additions can arrive and it's surely the managers responsibility to get players delivering |  | | |

Let's compare the last few performances under Guidolin and those of Bob and see who looks totally out of their depth.
Bob is not the problem but is nevertheless a part of the problem. | |
