Ferguson Caretaker Manager

[welshtoffee]

Coleman and Keane have been atrocious though. Worst two players against Norwich and consistently poor all season.

Allan, fitness.

I'd have started Gordon over Townsend though.

No problem dropping Coleman and Keane as they have been diabolical for a long time, but to play Kenny and not start Gordon was a big mistake

Should not have started Kenny, Townsend or Gomes. Strange decision to not play Gordon or even give Patterson a try.

If the previous manager went 442 he’d have got pelters, a joke Ferguson did the same.

Good levels of commitment there from the players. Technically we came up a bit short of ideas.

Bit like his first tenure really. The Leicester cup game and arsenal at home were pretty similar.

An improvement, but not enough.

Are players just arent technical though its a hard job isnt it

 

[Kev The Rat]

Just said he’s only waiting for the new man to come in

If he’s telling the players the same, a change has to be made asap

Ancient football.
Outdated.
So predictable.
Dogs of war

Dogs of War were great for us. Got and FA cup. Speaking of which I would love us to get that cup this year.

Joe Royle mid 90's tactics.

You can see who is coaching icon is.

442 is so dated.

Difference between this and the Chelsea game that Ferguson managed is that Chelsea had no stomach for the fight, and Villa did. Once they were prepared to battle as hard as us we were in trouble.

Don’t think any amount of passion or desire can compensate playing Gomes in a two man midfield. He’s making some of the same mistakes Rafael was

Glimmers of hope in that game, genuinely felt a bit hard done by the result. Maybe we do but I don't think we should rush a decision like that. Dunc hopefully with at least a few more training sessions could hopefully provide a boost for us.

There was a boost. Im perplexed by the reaction. Villa are better than us, and form wise we were on the level and likely deserved a point. Thats not the same thing as being on Watford's level. Again our odds of going down went from 11% to 13%.

We are a bottom half side, loosing to teams above us marginally is par the course regardless of the club state of things. And the chance the board can make a good appointee with no hierarchy or DoF is far more risky than the chances of us playing in the championship next season.

One had players tanking games, the other had willing workers...and still handed in a defeat with it.

Get him down the road now and get Lampard in.

Lampard won't have the stomach for a relegation scrap

 

[Micronman]

For me saying that he’s waiting for a new man, shows he wants to move back into the shadows and pick up a wage for putting cones out. Whoever comes in brings his own staff and bin off what we have.

Was playing well to be fair

Was playing well to be fair

We looked immediately better the moment he came off for Allan

 

[ToffeeTim]

Why did we use the same system as Benitez

 

[kenada_blue]

Under Benitez that's us losing 3.0 at least.
