What do we require from our manager / football team?

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I've never hid the man crush...throw out your preconceptions and just listen to him; I get all tingly inside, personally. Last time I'm talking about him, though...waste of time, unfortunately.

 

[Agent Blue]

Someone with the guts to bring a knife to a gunfight

I would quite like us to develop a winning mentality by taking one of these to a gunfight!

We've had players with the same turning circle as that but it never seemed to be much of an asset...

I'll get slapped down for this and I get why cause he's a million miles from Mourinho et al, but Chris Wilder would be someone I would like to see interviewed.

His achievements with the blades are remarkable. I loved his response the other day when someone praised his side for working hard, he effectively said 'so what? That's the bare minimum required I'm not praising someone for the bare minimum'. I think that's an example of a winning mentality, his innovative centre-back formation is evidence of tactical creativity, two promotions in three years shows his methods are working and he can reshape a team. Now he's doing well in the premier league with a shoestring budget side. I think sooner or later a bigger side is going to take a chance on him and my bet is that he will rise to the challenge.

This is how you react when you play well but don't get anything from the game and people try to blow smoke up your backside and patronise the 'little' team:

"Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder:

"I am not bothered about pride, I am bothered about the result. Liverpool had an off day and I think we missed an opportunity. In pressurised situations we need to remain composed. We were delighted with the shape but their chances came from our mistakes.

"We have had big moments in the game but we did not take them. We had to jump all over it and we didn't. We had enough to get something out of this game but we did not take our opportunities. Points are the most important thing and we did not get the points we deserved today."

On Dean Henderson: "If he wants to be a professional footballer, these things are going to happen. But if he wants to play for the top teams, he wants to play for England, then he needs to do better, he needs to concentrate more. It's a disappointing day for him. I am not going to put my arms around him, simply he needs to do better."

I've no idea how the season will go for them, but he impresses me every time I see him and his side.

Don’t get a new manager from an average PL team. Don’t get Howe next just no.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

League Titles.

I was brought up on them as a kid.

NSNO.

Fed up of watching rubbish from this once proud club.

 

[The binman chronicles]

To not spend half a billion quid and actually be worse. It's a fairly simple request.

With their "talent" they have no business finishing 17th but you get the idea just finishing 17th isn't enough for him.

 

[Toffeelover]

Me, I would like to see us play some decent football, score some goals and win games, is that too much to ask for?

Fine result tonight. This guy may not be in our future, but he's a winner and the blades will not be the biggest club he manages.

Required;
Saturday's performance, or better - at anfield - and every other ground - every week

 

[BernieH]

Consistency would be a small but nice start, sorting the away form out.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Top 6 minimum.

 

[Seathestars]

Easy this, to be in the top 1
Easy to do, ask Mourinho
I thought he had a plan by buying pace up front, but then he plays a slow build up. We weaken our strength, drives me crazy.
I honestly thought we would play like a mix of Atletico and the Man U class of 92 using pace up front with a touch of class but defending for our lives when we need to.
Swashbuckling football and all that malarkey

Seriously though, we just don't play to our strength, or is it just me that thinks that, we don't use our pace up front not nearly enough.

Absolutely brilliant record. Saw a stat last week but it was from 2015. Every 34 games he wins a cup. Unbelievable.
