WTF!!!! IS this not what preseason is all about!!! Really ****ing irks me that . Lets have a sit down and a cup of tea and nice old chat about how loaded and lazy we are !!!
They never broke a ****ing sweat! That first goal was utterly embarrassing and the amount of times Norwich broke with an overload that we didn't even seem interested in addressing was embarrassing. Could have been 5-0 and Norwich are no great shakes. Look at the first goal. A short corner 2 v1 they do a one two around him free shot on goal as nobody bothered to try and close down. It was pathetically embarrassing. I couldn't believe some fans clapper the ****ers back onto the pitch for the start of the second half!!
It shows what a long season it is going to be for both of us that both sets of fans would problem welcome playing each other next as things stand
I don't think the players knew either and it ended up being a complete cluster ****! Larsson was playing on top of jones whilst nobody looked to get down the right flank. Fletcher strolled around aimlessly managing to lose every header he went for. At times m'vila was left back. PVA was wandering around like a little boy lost. It doesn't help when you manage to control the ball for the first time your own fans give you an ironic cheer! On the plus side I paid £4 a pint in the new fan zone!
I Sack him? No! But I'm almost hoping that he walks. Leave now before his exploits from last season are totally overshadowed and his reputation is tarnished, or before he has a heart attack. I remember saying end of last season that I would be, in a way, pleased if he left because we could finally have a manager who could leave with his head held high. Thats probably not gonna happen now. I bet he wishes he never stopped anyway! Worse mistake he has ever made.
Today both teams were roughly of equal ability except we were so disjointed we could not create a decent move all game. Just wish we had some passion and fight than we did. DA's weakness today was he chose the same CB pairing that let us down last week and they maintained their level of ability.
Kaboul & Coates are obviously his first choice pairing. Changing that after 1 game would severely knock the confidence of one or both players. That would leave them totally worthless for the forseeable future. And to take them out of the equation and fully rely on O Shea/Brown again would be disastrous. I think it was the right idea to stick with them, and the sort of game for him to do it. I dont think we have a choice now though. May have to rely on the oldies again!
Dicks far from blameless in all of this, as has been said we seem unfit and absolutely clueless in terms of our tactics so far which the manager is responsible for. But to be fair to him he has massively been let down in a big way so far by Congerton and Short in terms of signing the quality players he obviously wants and needs. A lot of the players need to take a good look at themselves as well, the full backs are like totally different players than they were at the end of last season, Catts has been poor, Coates is showing why he couldn't get in the team for most of last season, Fletcher continues to be **** and the new players are obviously needing time to settle.
There could very well be merit in what you say, but one of them needs an experienced hand alongside them until they are both suitable for the EPL. Together they are a disaster.
The problem isn't Advocaat. The players have no desire or determination whatsoever. I wouldnt have a single Norwich player and from Leicester I'd only take Mahrez. We've lost 4-2 and 3-1 to two teams that will finish in the bottom 6. They just don't care. Its hard to find 1 team worse than us never mind 3. Unless Short breaks rank and signs three to four quality players we are down. And to be quite frank its long overdue.
The point I am going to make is this. Are Dutch managers all that great? I have a feeling that my own team will struggle this season as we lack creativity. Think we may have bought a lot of average players who are never going to shine at the higher end of the PL. Same as you guys. Anyway good luck to you, you deserve much better.
The team are connling us..they seem as if they don't give a monkeys.But DA has been shafted by the powers at be.Where are the next-level signings?Every other team have added quality signings,and yet we've only bought Lens who you could call a quality-signing.We are still shopping in the bargain-basement You get what you pay for in this world!!
I don't think it is a case of the team conning us but more a matter of introducing new players and giving the midfield new roles. Catts passing was dire today and at times ignored the better placed Larssson who was out of position on the right. Conclusion from that is that they were both out of position by selection. If M'Vila gets the nod then Catts will be redundant.
