Roman can't keep backing shit managers that win 1 game in 9. He has to sack them eventually. Carlo has a world class team available,maybe some other manager can make tham play better.
AGREED COMPLETELY. Romans only mistake was employing somebody with a poor CV in the first place. Well actually the last 3 managers were all poor. Not sure who put Gran,Scolari and ancelotti's names in his thoughts. Roman still gave us £20m in the summer and has told Carlo that there are funds in January. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
He isn't like Fergie. Give it a few years and he'd want to go back to Italy. He needs to realise that playing the same old players and not resting or rotating isn't doing us any favours.
Agreed. I'd put shit teams out in the mickey mouse cup too. Completely pointless competition. That could have been a game where the likes of Josh etc got 90 mins big game experience under their belts.
Imagine if Lamps,Benayoun,Zhirkov etc had been fit all season then. How many minutes on the pitch would the likes of Sturridge and Kakuta have gotten? Even less than now. I agree,disgraceful and no forward planning at all.
I hear ya. If only Carlo could see that a change in formation and personnel once in a while can do the world of good. A 442 would give us 2 strikers up front for a start. Rather than Drogs looking the lonely figure. Then when Josh plays for a game and does better than those around him he gets dropped. The poor performers never get dropped.
The trouble is who can you get in January? I think our squad is strong enough,if only carlo would play Kakuta and Sturridge a bit more often.We have Terry,Alex,Ivan and Bruma as Centre backs. So I think we are well covered there. Unless we get major injuries there I can't see the point in signing a defender. I'd happily sign any right back if it meant the end of Ferreira but I do think Bosingwa is good enough. Kalou has hardly ever played in his preferred position,he's young,fast,can score goals,happy to be a squad player,so getting rid wouldn't make sense.
No,we don't need players in January I meant. In the summer however we do have to look at the age of the said players I mentioned and look at the underperformers. Don't give up on Kalou just yet. The only true shit players in our team are Ferreira,Turnbull and Hilario.
Drogba just needs either a good slap or an arm round his houlder to tell him how great he is. One more thing, a partner up front supporting him and 2 wide players putting crosses in.
