Is he too nice?
He always seems happy to shrug off a loss - regardless of opposition and never seems to call out the disgraceful cowardly performances from players payed millions to kick a ball (imagine them having to work in an ICU!!). And despite some of the disgusting performances they will be on tiktok dancing and on Instagram with their new fashion trends instead of on the training ground putting it right!
And Carlo will still pick them next week.
Maybe these players need a dose of someone with passion and discipline - a Roy Keane type, Dyche(?), Ferguson or tempt Moyes back from West Ham. And don't tell me they wouldn't play good football because we currently aren't any better than under Allardyce (at least we could see out a lead at home!)
Good grief. This post has a few of my all-time worst footballing cliches.
“imagine them having to work in an ICU!” - Why?
“blah blah blah Instagram and TikTok” - What has that got to do with ANYTHING? You do realise all players throughout history have had private lives outside of football, modern players are just more visible (through fan engagement, which we praise them for when times are good). Do you expect every player to shun their friends and families and just wallow in a pit of despair after every loss?
“PASHUN!” - Who cares if Keane was a passionate player? He’d be a crap manager! How would Dyche’s hoofball help the fact that our best midfielders are injured? Might get us a result or two in the short-term but if you’re suggesting he’d be better for us longer term that CA you’re a legit madman.
The vast majority of teams are struggling more at home this season. It’s mad to me how pundits and fans will marvel over the much-improved away records of X, Y and Z but not put that together with the dip in home form across the board, too. Increased regularity of games (and the injuries that come with that) and a complete lack of fans/atmosphere has been a huge equaliser.
