Losing the plot here. His HT talks must be something.

And whatever he is saying...can he not cause clearly it isn't working!

He may become the victim of telling the owners/directors he doesn't need signings etc the trouble is that we were second in the league at that point, everything was fine and over achieving. If he doesn't qualify for CL I think he goes.

I guess all that patience... the build for the future... 😆

There is absolutely NOTHING surprising about a new manager with a new system and a bunch of young players struggling a bit around jan -- some not nearly as good as suggested around here.

His substitutions and in game management is baffling

So, the “decisions” of a young inexperienced manager match the decisions of his young inexperienced squad?

The surprising part here is that we seem surprised by the fact that the team is struggling now. We discussed this a lot before and after Maresca was hired.

I wish he would go back to rotating his squad a bit more, esp. with the attackers., not necessarily the defense.

When he did that in the early part of the season, it felt like everyone was chipping in with goals and challenging for places.

On the flip side, he has chopped and changed the back line with every game, ever since Fofana got injured.

For a top side, you would rarely want to see your back 4 change drastically each game, unless there were superior defenders being brought into the lineup.

Yep, this is a big issue. The lack of rotation in recent games.

It was always difficult to maintain the motivation of 25-30 players. Need to refresh the squad again.

You can see him pointing out on Christie before second goal but amateur defending all over. I don't blame Josh at all for second goal. It's midfielders to blame.

People are really fickle. 

All the good work are throwing out after one month. 

For me he is still good and will get better next season. I was actually surprised at the beginning of the season because of the performance, since I expected us to be the team we are playing recently. 

That is the normal for this first season. But I seen good stuff that in next season we take a big step forward.

Summer should address better targets in our team then in January. And with continuity of a manager we can build the team better this summer.
