...what?
Fantastic statistic, but we've played more than 9 games - he's up to 23 at this point, with 6 wins.
Even a sample plucked out of thin air like that without acknowledging the bigger picture it's still nonsense (respectfully, hopefully you don't tell me to do one this time Neilerx ). Man's at about 20% winrate, that's relegation form whichever way you look at it, and our current hoard of 1 points and sickeningly leaky defense further proves it really.
Nah, not having the excuses made for him. Over 38 games and we're on a hiding to nothing, striker or not. Even without a big man to hoof to we've allegedly been unlucky, but statistically we've been unlucky to not concede more at the same time. Even in the 1-5 last season Brighton had better xG (and other stats) than usIt is a fantastic statistic mates, it points to the fact that a manager with a centre forward will get results and thus point more than a manager without a centre forward. Thats not on the manager that is on the club. Applying that average across 38 games and we’re fine. You can put any manager you like here but if you take all the forwards from them, 90% would be relegated. This manager is in the 10% who could have kept us up.
Weve been a shambles with injuries since he’s been here, decimated upfront up till this point, almost all our wingers out or half fit until after the international break, while we’ve also never had a set of full backs fit.
The dudes trying to manage a skip fire.
That's poor management and team organisation, that's nothing about having a striker. ).
I think Gary O'Neil's Bournemouth, Thomas Frank, Howe's inherited squad (that were 19th and winless), and Steve Cooper all did better with the squads they had.
I think it's in my nature not to worry until I think there's something to seriously worry about (although I was still surprised at how calm I was about the cancer diagnosis - no sense no feeling I said at the time). Obviously I was pissed when Fulham, and then Wolves, nicked the games off us, but I'm a fan and it always hurts when we lose. I just think I ought to at least give Beto and Danjuma time to bed in.
Fair point, they've done a good job, but the key thing is the phrase 'squads they had'. Cooper signed loads of players last season for Forest. Bournemouth currently have 7 forwards in their squad according to their club page, Brentford, more options than us. We started this season with the same forward options as last season. Our squad is paper thin in comparison. By all means our manager isn't beyond criticism, but we're playing with fewer playing resources than our rivals.
Additional to the managers who have already been stated - Potter took over Brighton after them narrowly avoiding relegation, and turned them into a solid mid table team
I think Carlo was under the impression she was about to be sacked. By all accounts Moshiri was not happy with the way the season ended and was considering a change. He promptly approached RM who had just sacked Zidane.
It’s mad isn’t it? I think some mangers think that their job description only matters up to match day. On a match day there are 12 performances that matter - the 11 that are on the pitch at any one time and the manager’s whose performance re tactics and subs can make the difference. He does not seem to recognise this.
He bought a team for every letter of the alphabet
Of every alphabet that exists around the world
Agreed, I thought for our situation, following Lampard and the dearth of options, he was the best choice, but I’m not his biggest fan because I expected more from him, but a manager with a strike force is going to score a higher points per game average, that a manger without one.Nah, not having the excuses made for him. Over 38 games and we're on a hiding to nothing, striker or not. Even without a big man to hoof to we've allegedly been unlucky, but statistically we've been unlucky to not concede more at the same time. Even in the 1-5 last season Brighton had better xG (and other stats) than us
It also shows us that he's won 6 in 23. Over 38 games = easy relegation. In fact, funnily enough, we were on that exact same route last year
The dude is managing the skip fire by pouring fresh gasoline into it and wondering why it's not extinguishing mate. Unless we go on an absolutely miraculous 10 game winning run he'll finish the season/year/his tenure by being either statistically worse or as bad as Frank Lampard at this rate. The most hated manager we've had not named Rafael.
As much as I hate the phrase - anyone can do it if they've got the best players. He got hired to get the best out of limited players and funds (as is his reputation) and he's doing a bad job at it.
He was also touted as defensive minded, which I can't say is true based on the fact we're leaking goals (and before the excuses come in - 2 out of our 3 defenders are his old players, he knows them, he knows how they play; he let the rest go
E: Our full backs have been fit, bar 1, for a long time now. Tactically he has no idea how to use a full back if his life depended on it, unless it's a flat 4.
