Lyon away - Europa league

[chris123]

With Hendo out, the captain should be Richards ( who captains the US) or, this may be controversial JSL. The way he was teeing up the other players and crowd against Forest was absolutely what was needed. He was also the one to put his arm around Khalaili after his mistake

Agree about JSL, he does a good interview too.

 

[Spiderman]

Nonsense.

How is Wharton who is not even performing well or that experienced captain material plus he will be gone end of this season if someone comes in for him.

So what if Tex sacked him Tex was the driven factor for us getting Glaz.

Turned them around that French league is Micky Mouse one a team like Lyon should be right near the top.

Look at FDB CV it's far superior to claim otherwise is someone who is delusional and I don't rate either of these managers they are not Premier league quality fine in the subpar leagues.

Sage has had plenty of time now he keeps choosing to change things player wise and it doesn't look like there is a proper system in place which is why the players do not appear to know what they are doing (Many of these people had been at the club so it's not like its all new Mitchell/Richards/Canvot all played together but look all over the place Kamada/Wharton had paired up before but massive gaps in midfield now)

We need to play a different style to suit Larsen which we are not doing it's making him look like a donkey which i don't believe he is it's not using his strengths (JP can play this way and will look much better in the system)

Christmas is a lot of games away we could be out of Europa by then.

Absolutely ridiculous comment. “Sage has had plenty of time” 9 games, when he has had no pre-season with the majority of the first team, then an International break, when the majority of the first team went away. Injuries/suspension to key players!, Give it a rest.
FDB was hated by the players for being an arrogant t***. Delaney spoke to SP on behalf of the players about him. I went to the open training session when FDB first took over, he spent most of it placing free kicks into the top corner, it was as if the players weren’t actually there.
To compare Sage with FDB is laughable

Here begins a history lesson dutch lge was ranked 12th in Europe , when he won the lge makes them about 1st division standard . French lge ranked 5th .
He was sacked by Milan less than a year , sacked by us , sacked by atlanta utd MSL team , sacked by dutch national team less than a year , works in that massive pro lge now , which is 2nd division standard. And you say I'm delusional , so Sage turned 2 teams around in a lge thats is ranked 7 places better than FDB time at Ajax .

Yet you have ignored he had won not just 1 trophy but multi in the dutch system and even at Atlanta.

He was at Inter not Milan.

I don't rate him or Sage as i said before they are not Prem quality managers.

rankings are meaningless it's what is achieved that matters and competition the French league is a 1 horse race (The French rank gets bumped because of PSG being able to to do what they do in Champions League you remove them rank will plummet)

Hearsay there was never an interview on video or someone releasing a book which backs up those claims it's like the story of PV going AWOL never been confirmed.


FDB didnt have proper pre season either he came in late all the arrangements was already in place.

you always make excuses wasnt you the same person who defended Pardew and Viera.

The CV is very clear FDB achieved more this is a FACT could this change yes because Sage is fairly new.

Anyone doing that is off their rocker, from what you hear sage is the ultimate meticulous professional, and besides, he has actually won games. I know FDB didn’t get a chance to win a game, but for SP, who usually gives managers more than enough time, to sack him so quick he must have been bad, as well as the apparent arrogance

Dutch lge is a 1 horse race Ajax was top dogs remove them and they will plummet . Wow he won MSL that's a top rank lge and why did they sack him after 2 years . You say french lge is poor but when its pointed out that the Dutch lge is even poorer you won't have it . Oh yes sure its inter milan so thats just being pedantic

The video of FdB doing press ups at the training ground was enough to make me question his motivational skills.

Nope. Not an excuse, it’s just ridiculous that you claim he has plenty of time. FDB didn’t have to contend with players having been away on WC duty. You may think it is hearsay but I sit with someone who has very strong connections with the club,( he used to work as an academy coach) , he will tell you different. Although, as per usual, you seem to know best. Apart from winning the Dutch league with Ajax ( not difficult) Fdb managerial record is poor. Sage manager of the year in France, won the French Cup with a small club and small budget.
Why do you think he was sacked so quickly?

The funniest was the Cruyff turn coached to an incredulous Delaney.

The QE2 would have turned quicker. Still, he had other attributes rather than impersonating a Dutch stick insect.

 

[thai-eagle]

The galling thing is that had we still the services of Guehi and Lacroix, we wouldn't be far off a top six team. That these two left for a combined £70m makes it all the more annoying. Are we really saying that the more attractive offensive play was funded by these sales?

Add to that Eze and Olise!
