Is Glasner the problem?

Glasner now has to play his part, if we are going to stick with him long-term, and buy players to fit his system, he has to play his part, he has to extend his contract, there is no point in the club backing him to the hilt over the next two windows without him extending beyond his 18 months left on his contract.
Glasner isn't in the driving seat when it comes to his contract. It's down to the club to offer him an extension.

You wanted to sack him two weeks ago !
 
Glasner is better than many of our previous managers. Vieira, Alan Pardew, Roy, etc.

We are lucky to have him. Cos when our form picks up, the big-money boys will want to poach Glasner from us.

we thumped Brighton in their own back yard. Nice.

Too early to make those claims.

Stats do not back it up either.

I believe he is better then PV & Pardew but Roys tough one the man had spells at the club for long time with almost no resources and we always finished mid table.

Glasner has far better quality players and has had money spent lets see what he does in charge for full season.

Yes i did, and i still might want him out, But, he is as i have said many times, a one trick pony, but it is a good trick, and if you are going to back him financially in the market with the players HE wants, then you need him to be offered an extension and have him except it, he left Wolfsburg after two years even though he got them into the champions league because he didn't get on with the chairman, he left Frankfurt for similar reasons, so he has a record of walking out if he doesn't get his way, so if he thinks we can play every game with the players we have, he cant, so some stability is needed.

I’m pro Glasner but let’s be realistic - he’s unlikely to be offered a contract extension as things stand at present. Frankly that just wouldn’t make sense while we are in a relegation battle.

And I don’t understand how you might still want him sacked but at the same time you’re proposing a contract extension !

Given the lack of strength in depth in the squad and the injury situation I think we certainly need some reinforcements in January.

Parish and Freedman both know Glasners preferred way of playing so you would hope and expect that any signings are capable of fitting into his system.

Its quite simple, if you back him with 3 or 4 players he wants, and we need to sell to fund it he needs to commit to the club, if we don't get the players he wants and we continue to play the same way, which he will, we will have a lot of Arsenal type score lines, so it doesn't matter what i think or yourself, its the board, Back him or sack him, i don't think if you sell Guehi for 50m and get 3 in he wants, maybe one on a loan, the loss of Guehi doesn't make one bit of difference.
 
Is the correct answer .
Kamada wasn't the problem. The defence was. Also, Guehi shouldn't be captain. His lack of creatively saw why we spent so much time indulging in sideways and back passes playing up from the back thus giving time for Arsenal's defence to regroup. This partly explained why taking our chances and our defence couldn't cope with Arsenal's quick transit from defence to attack.

He's also not the solution to any problem.

You didn't answer my comment that you still might want him sacked but you also think he should be offered a contract extension - I'm not understanding the logic or your response.

I think you've been watching too much Keir Starmer ! 😀

The indications in the Press suggest that we will go into the transfer market in January. The overriding motivation to do that is to improve our current situation. And to support the present Manager of course, but there is always the possibility, perhaps even a probability, that the player will outlast the Manager.

I disagree that '' we will have a lot of Arsenal type score lines '' and although you say it doesn't matter what you or i think, they are actually your thoughts and no more than that !
 
Seeing Kamada in the starting line-up make me feel we are playing with 10 men. Add to that misery, Schlupp coming on for the last 15-20 minutes. But even a stubborn OG can not pick the Japanese for the trip to Bournemouth. For me - play Hughes, Lerma and Eze (if fit) or Deveney. At the moment, Doucoure's shocking - his cameo against Arsenal was like watching a horror movie.

Let me try and make it as simple as possible for you, the Jan transfer window is crucial to us, if we don't bring in a pair of wing backs, as Glasner is unable to adapt his style, hence we will drop like a stone if Mitchell or Munoz are out for a period of time, hence Glasner being sacked because of his unwillingness to change style, if we do bring in a pair of decent wing backs Glasner can continue with the knowledge that we have back ups in both positions so he survives and hopefully thrives.

On the right, we have Clyne, Ward and Kporha who can fill-in if Munoz is absent but I accept that Ward is totally unsuitable to the role and Clyne to a lesser extent.
On the left, we could of course deploy Schlupp but he is in the twilight of his career and I don't envisage him being effective in this role.
In a separate discussion I have asserted that wing-backs on both the right and left are required.

You can divert all you like with your own version of what you think might happen, transfer window etc.

That still doesn't explain the logic that you '' still might want him out '' but at the same time want to offer him a contract extension !

Please don't bother responding to this as you clearly aren't going to help me to understand how your thought processes work.

The challenge is to find players that can provide genuine competition for those positions while also accepting that they aren't going straight into the starting line up. I acknowledge that some people would like to see an alternative to Mitchell.

And then of course it's a question of where Freedman / Glasner's priorities are. As you say, there are options on the right ( an additional option could be Danny Imray, ripping it up in L2 but not sure he's ready for the huge step up ), but Mitchell has not had either suitable back up or competition for his place for some time now.
