As long as Anthony Barry stays im happy Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I dont want Allegri. Frank has built a good squad and did great with integrating youth like James, Mount, Tammy, CHO, tomori, Gilmour etc. Not all of those will make the squad but will fetch a pretty penny. Pick a manager that will suit the squad. I want the Werner's last coach Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Absolutely he was reaping the results of Sarri's passing blueprint. Who remembers last year, under lampard, when we DOMINATED city at the etihad in the first half. Scored first too. That Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic midfield kept the ball of city well. Obviously, that trio has its problems. But when we played well last season it was definitely building on Sarri's work. Frank took away the restrained passes and implored the players to go forward which was when we played our best football last year. As time went on our passing has steadily declined. Sarri was boring but good luck pressing us for the ball- that was our best chance of scoring! Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I remember it was still somewhat taboo to say frank was an average manager around October/November. Dismissed as some sort of hater. Now the easy run in is finished an we have had 5/6 games of good teams its good to see that kind of gatekeeping is in the past. The shoe is on the other foot now. Those two dreadful games against sevilla and united were certainly building platforms for attacking football just as bad. Sorry Frank, I can't see you going anywhere. I can't see us getting past Atleti or top 4. Such a shame we missed out on Poch like when we missed out on Klopp as we get Jose got too long Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I would only sack him when a good enough coach is available. Note 'good enough' doesn't mean 'the right one'. If top 4 looks in danger in another month or so its time to look for a new coach. The problem is there's few standout options. Poch is the only one jumping out at me. I dont rate Jody Morris but would like Anthony Barry to stay. Maybe in the Steve Holland role Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

The season is a write off. A £200m write off. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Rudiger was a legit contributor in the FA Cup final and Europa league wins. Was man of the match in the FA final too. You're right of course, especially Conte. He did exceptionally well with the dross at his disposal and that coaching success isn't mitigated in the slightest by poor transfers on his part Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I wouldn't trust Conte in the transfer market Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

You mean 3 trophies in 3 seasons? Plus 2 Cup finals we lost? Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

They would nod in agreement lol they are all well coached teams by managers that have proven track records. Bayern have been well drilled since pep, as Man City have been. Bielsa excels at that style of football. It is his style of football. As has Klopp consistently coached that style of pressing for years. None of these are exceptions to my point, they prove my point. You need to be well coached to press as a team. If pressing was easily coached, why aren't most teams good at pressing? Its all off the ball so it shouldn't be a matter of some being better than others. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

I agree, kai won't work on the right wing in the PL. False 9 might be interesting if Werner plays closer to him. I haven't ruled out a number 10 yet but an 8 in a 433 suits him well. He gets on the ball far more in a 433 than a 4231 Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Not one of those will happen imo Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
