2019/20 Marcel Brands

[davek]

Up and down form is down to the man who bought the players?

Is poor form not down to managers these days?

LOL

...it is if he's being asked to plait sawdust with bog standard players...players he's had only a couple of months and not at least 4.

We dont have bog standard players though, they have ALL shown their talent at 1 point, but El Fraudo mk2 cant get a tune out of them.

Everything is Brands fault, you should know that by now

We operate in a zone behind the elite teams. A decent manager, given the better spending we have to all our peers beyond the elite, gets us 6th or 7th each season. That's where we;ll end up again.

Two ways to move beyond that:

1/ you spend a lot more money.
2/ you have a DoF who unearths gems each window in enough numbers to make a difference.

Let me know when we have either of those and then we can seriously criticise any manager we have for just finishing 6th/7th..

It comes as no surprise that you fail to see the failings of a manger.

No surprise at all.

The players are world-class 1 week and national league class the next.

Not world class. You think the performance against Wolves was world class? It was a game in the balance and we played ok at times and poor at others.

Bottom line: if Jug Head does a great job, we have half a chance of getting out of the best of the rest ghetto. If he doesn't, then dont blame the manager for getting us to a position where we belong.

Trifle unfair on the national league.

Both Gomes and Gbamin were injured to be fair.

Not many sides do well without their first choice CM pairing.

Problem we have is the Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson midfield combo.

Considering Gbamin has literally hardly played for us Zat, it's a bit early to call that.

 

[neilsyd]

Struggling to see why this guy is lauded as some sort of Messiah. Unearthed Digne and that's it. In two years.

 

[Dorf]

He's definitely improved our squad with what on paper is some real talent. His one mistake so far is not getting in a CB.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Getting away with murder in comparison to Silva - and thats coming from Silva's nemesis.

That’s it, good player, poor manager. It’s never going to work.

He got one, Mina, but he isn't good enough, really if we're honest we need 2 top quality ones and a replacement for Coleman.

 

[Nymzee]

Everyone was waxing lyrical about the Keane/Mina partnership before Bournemouth

If you lot want to go back to the Walsh days then so be it. He’s done a cracking job and the manager just isn’t all that good.

What about mina, if Barcelona want him back they have to pay 54m.
