Lesson one becoming a manager: dont throw your players under the bus publicly.

Lesson 2 in football: don’t show in training what you’re not prepared to do on the pitch

 

[Axlswhk]

We concede and its over, so maybe not effort, but certainly lack of heart and fight.

Isn’t it effort?

 

[Houghty19]

He said a while ago that now isn't the time to bring in some of the youth given the situation but there has to be some new blood brought in either dobbin or onyango or some other youth thats on the edge because they really can't do any worse than some of these jokers. Also the exuberance of youth can sometimes be just what you need.

 

[Gilbert..]

Yeah but the issue with Iwobi is it offeres no encouragement to the players when a good game earns you nothing and a bad games has zero impact on if you start the next or not.
Bad performances are tolerated and good ones are un noticed.

There were enough players on that pitch who played against newcastle to have not got battered 4-0 today.
You are trying to find a reason. I get that.
Im struggling. Other than they are poor inconsistent players who cant get shipped out quick enough.

Especially this lot, it doesn’t take much to down tools

I really do not buy into the lack of effort myth personally.

These players are trying, they just are shot of confidence and bogged down by years of getting bummed weekly.

Yes its up to the manager to get them flying, but I personally dont think its an effort issue.

The majority of the team are not good enough to play in the premiership,never mind wear the blue jersey.

He lost the Chelsea players and that was it. Even if hes done with some, you cant do that in public. Its deflecting, again, from his own part.

 

[Joey66]

Ah well concentration on the Prem now .......vital to stay up.......

 

[Flynnthistle]

As long as he continues to play two men in the middle of the park, Kenny and to a slightly lesser extent Coleman, we will continue to have massive problems. He's blamed the players today, for me, he has to take a fairly large portion of blame for today.

 

[HeltSkelt]

Can clearly hear the frustrations in his voice

This team is full of push overs

Hope we survive and he gets to bring some players in

He has never built a successful side. Derby were a financially doped championship outfit full of loaners and given the money spent on them should have walked the league but failed in the playoffs (and only progressed in them at all because Leeds self-imploded). At Chelsea he had a ready made team full of world beaters and - to be fair - didn’t mess it up, but didn’t make a case for having the job permanently; they replaced him as soon as their transfer embargo was lifted. What makes you think he would be remotely competent to rebuild us (whether in the Premiership or Championship)? We picked the worst possible manager for our current situation - can’t lift a broken team and no experience of building a new one. It’s a disaster.

 

[Mark barnett]

I think he hates the players as much as we do working with a bunch of frauds who only turn up when they play at home a feel like trying

 

[Simo]

This.

Can't do any worse than that crock of sh!te today. No fighters, other than Gordon

 

[BlueToff]

Every manager makes mistakes. If the basics of working hard, limiting personal errors, and wanting to win, aren’t there, then it doesn’t matter what the manager does. No team can win games if they just give up as soon as they concede. Doesn’t matter what the manager does.

When he has a group of players who will follow his instructions then I’ll call him for his mistakes. Whilst he’s dealing with this clown show he has a free pass from me, as Ancelotti did, as Benitez did.

Nobody gets a free pass. Nobody gets let off the hook.

Problem is that he's going to have the majority of them working with him again next season. Unless we go down of course.

Wich is just what we dont need. More dissent among the ranks. More in team fighting.
