So because he’s had fast wingers at his previous club(s), it’s okay to continue playing the same way time and time again even though you DON’T have those players at this club?
We had daft names for Postecoglou and he won a treble ffs.
He's been trying to adapt obviously hence the long balls
No danger they would have probably won the league by January
Exactly mate it was genuinely ridiculous how bad we were under Beale. We would never have been back in it under him.
People are entitled to their opinion whether you agree with it or not.
Thats only half the story though to suit your narrative, the 2nd half of the Beale story is more damning, entire transfer budget wasted and mismanaged with lop sided signings full of misfits, clearly never conducted even the most basic of pre season programmes for the players, humiliated at CL qualifying stage, lost 3 games in a week, players not following instructions from him, over complicated playing style left our players confused and season in tatters. All clearly visible in the opening OF game when it was evident not 1 player knew their role and would run through a wall for him.
Clement needs time to put his stamp on the team. I don't think even Pep Guardiola could get a tune out these players. Fact is many are just playing their ticket and thieving a wage out our club. They have their eyes set of a bumper payday signing on fee with other clubs.
Agree with all that - that's why my first post in the thread said "when they first took over", i.e. from Oct/Nov to the end of the season. He's pretty much done what both previous managers did, got a bounce out of them for a decent run of games but ultimately not enough. And the worryingly familiar pattern for me is the performances against Celtic.
Gio had won the Dutch league but couldn't seem to turn domestic fortunes. We seem to be stuck in a cycle of appointing someone Oct/ Nov. Watch them struggle in old firms and then start the next season expecting it all to change.
He signed Cortes who looked good until injury, he also started to get a tune out of Matondo but again injured. Sima our best outfield player injured. You surely must see him persevering with Dessers and using Sterling as a wide player that he has a adapted based on the style of player he inherited and any chance for him to change has been done in with injuries
There are a slew of negative posts, that much is true, watching your rivals rack up their 12th title in 13 years kind of leads to negativity though, with a heavy dose of realism thrown in too I may add.I can't make up my mind if people are just trying to out do each other with negative posts or just hoping it all does go wrong so they can sit on their high horse and say I told you so
I also got a permanent ban from the old board saying the very same about Warburton, I was only a couple of months out
We as a club need to stop this pish of kneejerking of moving managers on without giving them a fair crack of the whip, I was astonished when Gio was sacked as he wasn’t really allowed to change the squads main players and our current manager has the same issues with the same players just they’re now 18 months older.
That time has come now I think.
Play a bit more narrow then, and utilise the fullbacks?
To get rid of the old guard? Absolutely. It’s the same conversations we’ve been having for years.
This I agree with. And I'll say it again the fact he put himself before club, team and possibly winning by leaving Cantwell on the bench is very disturbing to me. Walter Smith, I can see him dropping Gazza to the bench cause he was a tool rather than beat them in a must win for the league. I'm still trying to get over that. Regardless of your thought on TC he is miles ahead of what we had yesterday. Phil got yesterday totally wrong regardless of injuries. McInnes can go there with his boys and hold these rats back for longer than we can, Livingston too
