You can lock the thread after this, nothing more needs saying on the subject, utterly nailed it.Has always been a poor manager. Don't know why so many have convinced themselves otherwise. People were fapping over his coaches' voice video, which I actually found embarrassing to watch, as they were just Sunday League tactics he was detailing, just using some technical vocabulary.
Yes, the squad is poor, but player for player any half decent manager should be able to get between 13th and 15th with this squad. Keep saying it: the points deduction has only really affected us by making him take the shackles off for a few games because we needed to claw back points. We have reverted to being poor since.
He limits players and makes them worse - DCL and Onana are two prime examples. Onana is a really good player and I feel like he would be flying under a better manager.
He can't manage a squad - flogging the same players and not using subs or rotation and then wondering why they are all burnt out at the end of the season. They look totally goosed for the run-in.
No work on patterns of play, passing etc.
He cannot manage games. His in-game management is the worst I have ever seen - and we've had some awful managers for that.
He's been here over a year and I think (tell me if I've missed one) that we have actually only played well against Arsenal and Brighton last season. Bournemouth (at home), Newcastle at home and Villa away in the cup this season. Yes, we won a few more games than that, but I'm talking about actually good performances.
He is an absolute joke of a manager. Can't believe that there are some who still defend him.
As ive said, the whole squad has regressed at an alarming rate, everybody plays in slow motion, hes about as motivating as a fart in a lift.
