My gripe with Glasner

[waterfordpal]

First off I think Glasner is brilliant. However my one serious gripe is that while we have all praised him for getting the best out of this team, he seems to have given up on certain players. Surely he can find a way of improving Esse ? Also he is complaining about a lack of signings but weren’t Sosa and Uiche his picks ? Could he not get them playing better ? Also as much as I love Mitchell why doesn’t Glasner insist he gets more early crosses in ? It’s so frustrating watching him turn back or hesitate and have his effort blocked.

I think esse has an attitude problem. Sosa is injured. And Mitchell we all know his strengths are defending. He has made great progress this season in his attacks in my opinion.

Uche. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I agree prob should be given more minutes to see what he can do.

He said only this week that he approved all the signings since he arrived.

Sometimes transfers just don't work out.

So he approved Esse. A bright young player that fits the profile of what the club have been successful in doing when signing players from the Championship.

But it's not a given that Esse is going to make it. No manager in his right mind would overlook a player that adds value to the team. In his few appearances he's done little to suggest he's earned the right to more minutes than he's had.

Uche seems to me a bit of a last minute gamble. Not too much commitment on Palace's part, if he's a success, great. If not , well no real harm done.

Obviously these two are occupying place in an already thin squad so it's disappointing that they haven't made more of an impact.

I think even if he approved the signings, because it’s better than nothing, you can’t help but understand the frustration that Pinot and Kamada could have been on the bench last night and Eze and Olisse in our attack.

Does that mean Kamada and Pinot shouldn’t have been approved or signed? Definitely not. But we can’t keep winning and then replacing the players out with inferior players that wouldn’t make the team if our A listers stayed.

Where we genuinely could be without the Board restrictions is having our summer signings being our bench and a much bigger step up on Esse, Uche etc and then spending a further £100m to actually replace Eze and Olisse.

That is what I feel Glasner is referring to. He managed to somehow make Sarr so good we barely miss Olisse despite him being an inferior player, we are now asking him to do the same with Pinot, we tried to do the same with Canvot for Guehi and will likely ask him to do the same with a cheap bargain basement striker for Mateta.

Curse of his success with our inept Board. “Oh, you can turn dog turd into something decent, instead of reward, let’s keep giving you dog turd then”.
