My only regret is not making this a poll when i started it. Cos i reckon it would have been Phelan in 99% a few months ago and I reckon all would be Phelan out now. Apart from Charon and Patty
Phelan has got the title of head coach instead of manager so Ehab can oversee the full running of the club including and for the biggest part all the transfers.
I know he didn't have any shots to save today, but he has better command of his area than Jakupovic does in my opinion, more catches and less flaps.
Phelan hung Clucas out to dry today. I don't think he managed to prevent Amrabat crossing once. Time after time, Watford would play the ball out on the left to take advantage of our weakness but Phelan did nothing about it. Inevitably, the goal came from the left hand side but Watford were so **** they couldn't even hit the target when scoring. Meyler came on and ran about a lot though not to the one area he could have been useful. Phelan just isn't up to it.
Who do you give it to though? They weren't beating the door down for it before. Only when the Allams go might we be able to attract someone else
Perhaps if we'd have had Odders and Robbo fit, or the owners had backed Steve Bruce this summer, we might not have been reduced to playing Clucas there.
I thought he'd move Livermore across to help out, but he didn't. When he brought Meyler on, I thought it was so he could help Clucas out. Nope. I'm not anti Phelan but I don't think he helps himself sometimes. If Clucas remains at left wing back next time out, he has to play Livermore or Meyler alongside him to help out.
