They talked with QSF on WD sport he said after a 2 hour meeting with Gino they was not close on agreement for the way forward .I fear for next season . But hey we could get 17th .
 
Because they are at Granada trying to prevent them going down
Olare appears to be injured
So all we have, have had all season are Deeney and Igahlo
Without them we would be where Villa are
 
Why didn't he have any strikers on the bench?

Amrabat counts as one - despite actually looking much better in a wide role on Saturday..

Sure for most of the season we've had defenders or defensive midfielders making up most of the subs tbh.
 
According to WD Sport, QSF will not be our manager next season, but neither will Francesco Guidolin. I just hope it is not going to be one out of their stable of mediocre men who let everything worked for this season go to pot.
 
QSF persistently seems to put players out of their best positions eh
I remember the season that GT played Luther at right sided midfield (right half in old money). He kept him there most of 80-81 as I recall to teach him what the position entailed and to show him how he should be playing when he was moved back into the attack. In other words to get the midfielder's perspective. Seemed to work, next season he and Ross tore Second Division defences to shreds.
Perhaps this is QSF's intention with Amrabat, Capoue, Jurado etc.

So Abdi Almenia will have a spell in goal to help him refind that Fulham top corner again. Lateral thinking, I like it.
 
Are you guys taking Guidolin ?

Tbh we don't know. It's certainly possible but if they were going to put him here they could have done that before now. He was promoted upstairs at Udinese and it was shortly after that they could have done it. Personally I think we will go for a more malleable and flexible Head Coach who knows how the owners insist training and monitoring fitness etc is done, but a trade up in the standard of the coach - nobody could even guess who. Flores has done well but the problem is he is ultra defensive (and stuborn) and despite having a number of playmakers in the squad has played people out of position, not found the link between defence and attack and not utilised the talents at his disposal. From the outside I'm sure it looks a shocking decision if it turns out to be true but the reasons behind it can be seen, there is some logic. It should also be pointed out that the rest of the coaching staff remain in place therefore creating stability (there may be 1 or 2 of his direct staff that go) and the set-up leaves the players wanting nothing; it is a very continental set-up.
