The Rising Sun

He';s took us as far as he can, end of.

So many players who looked super promising very early on or in the summer now look miles off Chelsea quality. Just like last December when Jackson and Palmer’s form fell off a cliff.
We were in position to genuinely push on and put pressure on Arse. With our last 2 fixtures we should be doing exactly what City are doing and look where they are now after an Arse slip up. Instead, we have been left in the dust and will get nowhere near them.
Our absolute ceiling is 4th with Maresca and these players. And that’s if everyone else around us slips up nonstop like we do.

Maresca ball has a low ceiling.... Would've been lauded at Spurs but can't do for us what a conte would have with conte ball, i.e. winning the league.
I just want a coach who demands higher standards from himself and his players.

Most likely a 0-0 after all the build up...

Maresca just doesn't take games seriously. 
There's no better way to put it.
Yes he's analytical etc etc like any other coach but the way he approaches games makes it look like he's just chilling, managing, coaching the kids.
No seriousness and valuing points....
Conte was a beast in that sense.

He's probably pulling Maresca off

Tarique George wouldn't be a starter for leicester. I don't know how he's pulling this off.

I told several time that both are not a upgrade to jackson

I've always found this pep style of football extremely boring. 
May it die quick and the old school premier league expansive quick physical game return.
This is just tiring to watch and be a part of.

It's sunderland. Smash em.
Players playing themselves into some form so that's a plus all round.

Our players seem to lack courage to play football. The easy back pass or sideways pass has become a disease for this team....

We need a coach who doesn't play this possession football bullshit. 
It is by far the worst kind of football to watch.

Maresca is a one trick pony unfortunately.
 
Even if players can do what he wants it is just not dynamic enough.
 
His style takes away urgency from players in the way they approach the game . 
 
When we see crazy urgency in the last 15 mins of games while trying to win it or rescue a point it is because the players throw maresca ball out of the window and play football.
 
I really really wanted to like this manager. Sad that he has not given me an opportunity to hold on to anything, any silver linings.
 
The fact that almost all players massively regress under him speaks volumes. 

Honestly despise the way we play football. 
 
Up there with 2016 Mourinho. 

Line up and result was on Maresca, Gittens was a bizzare buy and still say this now he's shit and not Chelsea level
We have to stop all this tinkering shite I know the best line up, Maresca is either a thick bastard or naive.
 

Gittens was a bizarre signing, I have a feeling he will be loaned by next summer, I just do not see a player in him at Dortmund and don't here

Agree on that. Embarrassing tbh.

52m for Simons who is quality and we paid 48m for fucking Gittens. This board never ceases to amaze me.

great technique from sanchez there
