Mwepu was growing into a first team starter at the time.
The only way this is true is if we lose 10-0, Fab punches Lewis Dunk in the centre circle, sticks his middle finger up at the directors box and gives everyone in the crowd a lid for their bottle.
I don’t understand the point here because injured player signings are, well, injured. Players improving will be sold if they get better, or sold and dropped if they don’t. Footballs about one season, this season, at any given moment. Waiting for some magic moment for all and sundry to develop (over several seasons) into their best game together is pure fantasy for a club like us. If we’re lucky, it clicks the same season we buy ‘em as 1st teamers. Rarely do you get two seasons of brilliance from the same set because Chelsea and co will gut you.
He has the season of course but it is all very average now with the squad he has. No win in 5. He just appears in interviews very dull and complacent. He trots the same thing every time. Just becoming a rather boring coach imo. Really miss the fireworks of Roberto good or bad and generally good, that bloke inspired you, Fabian is just meh
This is what’s missing for me. I believe a big part of the modern game now for coaches is building the relationship between players and fans. 20 years ago it was there naturally because players gave a toss and played for the shirt. But now every player in the league being on £30k+ a week, most of them millionaires and it leaves a real disconnect unless it’s built. Look at what Klopp did, even smaller clubs like Brentford with Frank, they all have great connections with the fans, so the fans give them that little bit extra each week.
He absolutely lived it until he royally ****ed it up in Rome. After that he was an angry, petulant bellend. I’ll take placid in the long term over that any day, and be far more concerned about the manager’s relationship with the players and coaching staff than the fans.
We are (as Premier League Clubs go) a pretty average team - we are mid table at best - that is not a reflection of either the owner nor the manager or squad but of our size and relative wealth in a pool where we are competing against State sponsored Clubs.
If our fans need a passionate manager who wears his heart on his sleeve to get fully invested in the team then perhaps it is a fan problem as much as a manager problem.
If the only thing that gets you motivated and passionate about the club is a manager that shouts and screams, then maybe you should consider what it is you are actually supporting and interested in.
Being boring in his 10 minute a week scripted, tedious, clickbaity largely pointless interviews doesn’t make him a boring coach
Not at all. But for example when we get spanked at home to our rivals I’d like to see a pissed off angry manager. But we were told to trust the pwocess
There is no doubt RDZ is a good manager he will stay in France for year or two and then will be at a massive club.
I’d prefer to think the players see a pissed off angry manager behind closed doors, rather than someone playing to the gallery. No need to take the piss out of his English either. It’s light years better than the previous incumbent.
