Funny how same standards arent applied now, some people are really butthurt and have no shame, think this is a new thing, dont remember being like this when other managers took over, it was always like manager needs his players, needs at least 2 transfer windows and similar drivel.
One word a huge mistake that starts a war. ffsNo I’m not. My original point didn’t name any of those players, but specific others
I never mentioned Rangnick so you’ve clearly misunderstood.
And it was “you’re”
So you shouldOne word a huge mistake that starts a war. ffs
Yes, Teacher. I will bring you in an apple tomorrow.
Media hate all week, which a lot of posters on here jumped onto and spread the bile. Media love in today, odd how the world works. McTommy interview certainly addressed some of the shite that's been peddled.
I think the media struggle as he's very calm, measured and to the point and doesn't throw individual players under the bus no matter how hard they try to bait him.
palace, newcastle, norwich, burnley.3 wins and 1 draw. You can't say he's not producing results. It's been decent.
palace, newcastle, norwich, burnley.
to be fair you’d expect 90% of the league to get those results.
I know you can only beat what’s infront of you, but the team still look complacent and make far too many errors. I’d hoped he would have at least got them concentrating and being more professional by now.
We make the most unforced errors of any top side i’ve ever seen.
Even February could be too soon depending on whether there's much more disruption due to covid.The key is we won. I don’t really understand what anyone expects after almost no full training sessions and a few league games though? We’re also visibly unfit. If we look just as disjointed in Feb, sure start to question things but not so soon, it’s pointless.
But...is he good at managing?
We looked better than on Monday. I know it isnt much but any step forward is good at this point in time and given the state the team was and is.
People expect wonderful, effective football overnight and it doesnt happen like that.
Questions is he good at managing as if it all should be obvious and clear after 5 games.. Where's the patience? Stupid question I know.
Small steps, being work on the defense, midfield or the offense. Saying that it was good to see some players dropped but likes of Maguire need dropping too.
We had a long break so hopefully he'll have time to work with the team on everything without anymore breaks but with covid you never know of course.
Just shows you how hard working our players are. They let brilliant tactician vanGaal down, they made Mourinho lose his mind, they let Solskjaer down. And We are expecting something else? Rangnick need time. And miracle to get these players perform week after week.
Jesus Christ man. Give your head a wobble. You concluded all that out of thin air basically. Fact you seem not to know anything about Ragnick doesnt mean you should conclude we wrote of the season by hiring the guy.....It's more that we passed on Conte for this guy and I'm still yet to understand why. I did like what McTominay said in his interview and hopefully he's instilling some discipline behind the scenes that will serve us well, but I do think we've effectively waited too long to get rid of the old manager and then appointed a new guy we don't think will win anything i.e. the board basically wrote off our season in October. So depressing.
It's mental that this thread exists after 4 games
Also why are people acting like games against Burnley and Newcastle have been easy for us in recent times? Burnley have a great record at OT since they came back up.

Do you think we missed the boat on Conte
Yeah. I've actually just seen another post-Burnley interview on Sky this morning and he actually addressed the body language issue right on the head. Talked about the fact that it's a team sport and shaking your head or throwing your arms around when things go bad helps no one, the players should focus their effort into giving a good account and trusting the game plan - or something along those lines.Media hate all week, which a lot of posters on here jumped onto and spread the bile.

I don’t know a whole lot about Ralf but I like what I have heard from him so far.I do think the board haven’t done him any favours by announcing him as interim manager.That dilutes his authority over the players in my view.
You could see a big difference in our pressing that first match. It has slacked off since then but not completely gone.Whats happened to the press? Seriously question. I dont get it. First game was high press, since then nothing. He keeps saying that not how he planned it in training so are the players just not doing it or what? Its weird.
Do you think the players are putting 100% effort in ? Players need to play for the boss.If they know the boss is not going to be boss in May do you think they are going to give their best?All their contract durations are public knowledge. Either he is interim or he is not and is here for X years. Not sure how you can blame the club for stating the facts.

Look what happened the year SAF said he was going at the end of that season for example.
Indeed.But the club could have given him a two year contract .Or the club could have got Contè!All this is irrelevant to the fact the the club could not hide or lie about his contract length.

Could they not ?
If they didn’t fancy Contè they are in the wrong business.Maybe they don't fancy Conte or were not decided to fire Ole when he was a free agent or have other plans for the summer. Feck knows. It won't be the first or last time a big club hires an interim manager to buy time. Players just have to get on with it.
