Glasner Out

[ASCPFC]

I just wanted to highlight why OG is so rigid by always playing three at the back as managed in that league as well.

Maybe he only managed home games in Germany?

 

[Canterbury Palace]

The inability to beat any team who lets us have possession should be such a red flag to any big club considering him.

How can someone so ambitious have such a lack of tactical nous when it comes to dominating games?

 

[Vaibow]

The conference has exposed Glasner to the top 6.

By that I mean palace are the top club in the conference, on paper, everyone is defending and 'low block'... which is what most top 6 clubs face weekly... just look at the FA cup win.

He can't handle it.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

He is a poor manager, now with a good squad with not a clue how to use it.

 

[Linford]

That's why it's with cherries on top.

Bloody big cherries then

It's an average squad in Premier League terms. How many of the squad would be an automatic pick for a top 6 side, with the exception of Wharton? Eze and Guehi were our best players, both been pinched and we are now an average mid table squad.

No, we are only a mid table squad because we have a poor manager, do Brentford and Everton have better squads, No, i equate Glasner who is a maintenance man who is really a plumber, all the plumbing work excellent, electrics not so good.

We are a mid table squad, as will be seen with the next manager whether he has electrical skills or not.

I guess we'll get to see what a different manager does with this squad next season. Imo the squad is completely unbalanced and that's the collective fault of those making key decisions board, sporting director and manager.

No. Since returning to the EPL we are where we are through a combination of factors, the manager is just one of them. Our position remains more or less in the 12th to 14th bracket and the players are of that level, any who are better are picked up quickly, as we have seen. Glasner deserves credit for doing the unlikely in that one brief moment of the club's history - win something. It took around 3 seasons to assemble the players and jockey them into position, and have a manager in place who could pull it off.
Now we are back to square one, and ironically paying more for the privilege. That's inflation for you...

I see:
Henderson
Canvot, Richards, Lacroix, Mitchell
Pino, Wharton, Hughes, Johnson
Larsen, Sarr
as a much better line up, assuming, Muñoz, Mateta and Kamada are leaving, upgrade RB and CM

We have 3 players who can be deployed at left wing-back, Mitchell, Sosa and Devenney.
At right wing-back wise have Munoz of course but the main backup to him is Clyne in the twilight of his career.

I agree with some of your arguments and i too wanted/want glasner gone but you're not helping your cause when you include uche and johnson in any side you think can do better.

Uche, although he runs around a lot and is likeable, is just not very good and definitely couldn't be relied upon to get up and down the right wing.

johnson i didn't rate anyway but it is £35m down the drain. He's got pace but can't go past anyone so we just basically overpaid for someone to take corners.

But at least you didn't include pino!!

Johnson has not scored for 20 games.
His last goal was back in November last year in the 7-1 thrashing against minnows North Macedonia.
His last PL goal was in August last year.
He seems totally devoid of confidence and the less comment about his shot from the edge of the area the better.

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

You know Glasner is Austrian ?

That looks an awful lot like square pegs in round holes to me. We'll see in August if the new manager takes you up on your suggestion.

Interestingly a good mate of mine is a big Cherries fan and he said they're also awful playing against a low block. Iraola would definitely be my first choice as a Glasner replacement (unlikely I know) but it seems even that might not be an instant solution to unlocking teams who sit with 11 men behind the ball. I can't blame Larnaca as they're clearly very good at it in this competition. Hopefully between the 180th-270th minute against them we'll finally come up with an answer!

So Ollie still has not googled or AI - “how to overcome Low Block”

I did actually google it…..

“maximize pitch width, increase tempo with rapid ball circulation, and utilize quick switches of play to force defensive shifts”.

In other words, shape up you cnuts!!🤣🤣

You can imagine Brian Clough or Bill Shankly using the last sentence.

I have amended the team, put Uche instead of Pino, mistake 😍 He is a class right winger, he is not a left sided inside forward, you don't get 20 caps for Spain if you are rubbish, Johnson is in because we don't have a left footed winger, could JRS really do any worse.
