The Illicit Power of Our Overpaid and Underachieving Players

[jinkyali]

The culture is there and the coaching staff are ever-present.

Maybe we have a great bunch of lads and they all pull together and have given 100% to all managers?

I think I missed that like.

Correct me if I'm wrong but...

Didn't Silva have his own staff.
As did Koeman.
As did Martinez.
As did Carlo.
As does Rafael.

Hope the next manager will bring us as much pleasure as this one has.

 

[R.Reddington]

Good evening sir.

Viva la @davek

However you’re wrong. Rafael is the reason were in this mess.

The players are cack but the manager is even worse. We need a new manager and several new players to come in and perform right away. Moshiri constantly tries to be too clever, and always ends up messing up.

The most recent strategy is to sell experienced players and replace them with young inexperienced players that may or may not become good players in three years time, just to save a bit of money, but causing relegation in just a few months time.

Make no mistake - whatever your view on Benitez - this will be another casualty brought about by the dressing room at this club. Another group of players have downed tools and seen off another manager by the looks of it.

An attempt has been made to pull power away from the dressing room and toward the manager and they have reacted by handing in terrible performances.

It will happen again and again and again. It's the reason why this club will continue to go nowhere fast. We are utterly cursed by a culture of 'dont give a flying one as long as I'm paid'. The coaching staff beyond Benitez should be booted down the road. They've been there for years and have allowed this lack of professionalism to persist and probably encouraged it.

And so here we are: another managerial search (lost count of them) in the 6 years Moshiri has been here.

The biggest enemy this club has got and will continue to have are the frauds running around in blue jerseys on the pitch.

Did you write that crying into ur Benitez blanket?

Firstly by setting them up properly so we know that they are being given best chance to succeed.

Then we move on those who don't perform in the summer. There needs to be equal treatment across the board for those who don't meet the required standards.

....multiple managers have come and gone with a variety of systems and ideas....nothing. No chance.This lot dont care.

Moving players on: we only had Benitez who was brave enough to do it and we know he'll pay for it.

No mate.

There'll be people gloating tonight...but I tell you this: those same people KNOW that the next manager will be getting the same treatment soon enough. If the next one plays into the player's hands they'll be as useless as they are and unfit for this club in any case (Silva); if they dont (Benitez), they'll down tools.

The managers aren't the issue now. I think we all see it. The players and the coaching staff are happily taking the piss out of the idiot owner and the fans who they laugh at.

I dont hide. Unlike others on here.

Who? Who??????? Name names

 

[AleksanderTheGreat]

This would mean the owner and Chairman have lost control of the club.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Or you could’ve just wrote, ‘I was wrong to back an over the hill kopite will you all forgive me’

I offered an olive branch for this sort of thing but my 'apology thread' was closed for some reason.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Never their fault.
Even pseudo RS who post on here

 

[davek]

Who? Who??????? Name names

They know.

 

[Azza]

Wasn't it Brands' fault a few weeks ago?

The worst player this season has been Seamus Coleman in my opinion.
This is not because he’s ‘downed tools’ or because he didn’t give 100% for the manager.
This is because he’s a limited footballer and never fully recovered from his horrible injury.

He has given 100% this season even though he’s played right back, right wing back, right center back, right wing and even recently most bafflingly left wing back!
These decisions to play an out of form, past his best player all over the pitch and wildly out of position were made by the manager and nobody else. Coleman gave his all but was hung out to dry today again by a manager that kept playing him even though we had JJK, Patterson, Holgate and Mina on the bench so could’ve played multiple different systems!

We’ve had some bad eggs like Schneiderlin in our time but I’m not sure we do right now to be honest - I think the players just lack direction and have been poorly managed.

 

[Gilbert..]

Oh yeah?

And how is that brought about?

The floor is yours....

Can i have the floor just to quickly say.
Norwich hadnt scored for 540 minutes.
They were 2 nil up in 18 minutes against rafael benitez team today.

You cant hide from that. You cant bury that. Its atrocious.
