Very disappointing letting spurs off the hook today, but I can honestly say at 2;30, that's the happiest I've been about a team selection this season in the league. Very unfortunate losing Cedric at the last minute. Oh what might have been, -------------------------------------- Lets go again.
This I don’t get. No change and a defeat = no problem. A change people don’t understand and a defeat = problem.
Really enjoyed the game today even though we lost, what I find worrying is how our defense gets pulled apart so very easily. We've known about our defensive frailties for years and done very little to address the problem, added to that were playing players out of position week on week. Still think Ralph is doing a great job, but I'm struggling with some of his selections.
I think the logic is fine. Buy a car which looks good and it breaks down. Wife is okay. Buy one which looks like a stinker and it is a stinker. Wife not happy.
I’ll never stop being sarcastic when I feel the moment; that’s just me. To answer your question, when I know all what’s going on behind the scenes that could impact the manager’s decisions. That’s pretty unlikely to happen.
I remember people saying valery was rash at times last season. Slattery May still be in detention after coming back overweight in pre-season. I don’t know why this is happening, but Ralph will have his reasons. He may have some trust issues. Could be anything.
Agreed. There can be many things happening we don’t know about and those things will impact in his decisions. Could be anything. This is why I don’t get over annoyed by the decisions made, because I don’t know the whole story. He could have looked around the dressing room at 2pm and seen Vestergaard preparing professionally for the game and Valery larking about. We don’t know.
Looking at Valery after the P0mp4y game he looked happy. I don't think there is an issue between them. We lost to Spurs. Love them or hate them they are one of the top sides in the country, and if last year is anything to go by, Europe. It isn't blind faith in Ralph, I just trust someone who works with the players day in day out, and it is their actual career over a bunch of randoms on the internet. Yep I include myself in that. We may feel like the not606 family, but we are total randoms (except Fats & I who are twins from different mothers ). I am a total random with very set views in life so don't listen to me Anyway, moving on, I reckon we can do Chelsea

Good for you We never really know, it certainly hasn't stopped you in the past, maybe you're more tolerant of the tactics. As I said earlier, I'm ok with Ralf, but wearing thinner.
As said earlier, it could be anything. We won’t know. He could have been umming and ahhring about his team selection and this situation made him change his mind. It’s not always a straight swap in like for like. We also don’t know if he spent all week working on a back 4. I would bet that they work regularly on several different tactics, especially as he changes formations mid games anyway. Football coaching is so different today. It is baffling and I think some would be surprise at the details and complexity of it. My mate showed me some stuff recently that I wouldn’t even have guessed was to do with football coaching.

I don’t understand all the tactics and therefore tolerance isn’t the issue. Football is different now, I think maybe more fans need to consider if they understand the game today. When Ralph goes, I wonder how long before we long for him back.
Whereas I wouldn't understand it if both were seen as a problem. If Valery had come in and we'd still lost, I'm not sure what else Ralph really could have done to the starting XI. Danso rather than Maya maybe? Difficult to say at this point, so early on in Danso's career. Criticising Ralph's team selection then, even in defeat, would have come across as very harsh to me.
That just says you should do what you think is right and not worry about the wife. Buying the car is your decision.

I'm not a genius, but its illogical to do what RH has done playing players out of position. I can understand if we had butt load of injuries, but we haven't really to do what hes done lately. It hasn't worked in any way shape or form.
You’re only considering what you know and have seen about the players. I’ve given several examples of what could have been something we didn’t know about; there are endless things. Valery May have had lower fitness scores this week compared to how he normally trains and Ralph felt he couldn’t trust him to start today... I have no idea why, nor does anyone else.
