He got 24 / 24 this season and got sacked. Point a game. After playing 14 top half teams and only 10 bottom half. So 42% of his games against bottom half clubs.

As for his last 38 he got 36 points, which was just under a point a game, in which time he played I think it was 22 of those against top half teams. and only 16 against bottom half teams. 42% against bottom half clubs.

I have already been through this btw ;)

ML had also only ever lost twice in those 38 against clubs in the bottom half (Fulham and Cardiff)..............

Next question?

What position in the PL table was West Ham when we capitulated there ?

Nope, but then I wasn't at the Liberty for Palace and West Brom either ;)

Won neither of those games I might add, and 1 of those teams are above us, the other 2 are below us, wonder which of those 3 are above us ;)

Nope - we were. Get over it.

GM is not the answer, but there again at the end of the day, neither was ML.
 
How can there have been a Monk vs Laudrup split? Laudrup had experience, Monk has virtually no idea what he's doing, other than what he's learned from the likes of Laudrup.

I think with Swansea's set-up, an experienced coach is a must, and one with a track-record in the same kind of ethos that your team has honed for a while now. Monk was never that guy.

I'm genuinely a bit worried for Swansea right now. Really bad luck and the Europa curse hitting home. Good players don't become bad ones in a season, the thin squad has simply been utterly exposed, as have the squads of every smaller club that's ever entered the Europa league before them. It's pushing the resources of clubs like ours.

I think Swansea will get comfortably safe in the end, there's too much quality compared with those around them, but it might get a bit nervy.

Yep monk is now the only manager to keep us safe, but he needs to either work under an experienced manager or cut his teeth in league 1 or 2 for a few years. But it's too late now to get someone in and expect him to be able to change things. We've made our bed and now must lay in it.
 
Good team swanselona and i think most woulld agree our best starting eleven.My point of asking this question is that when fully fit the team picks itself.We cant change the manager now there just isnt enough time so who is helping the inexperienced monk
 
I think both teams will be strong enough to start, the problem we're facing is that monk doesn't have the answers tactically to react to certain circumstances. Today we played our usual game and dominated west Brom, which we expected. But the difference was west Brom have appointed an experienced manager who could see what was going wrong and knew what was required to change it 2nd half. To this reaction monk didn't know what to do or when to do it to nullify west Brom's new game plan.

It's not who we start with, the problem is how can we make the right tactical changes at the right times to make an impact.

It makes you question the purpose of Cutis on the backroom staff at times like this.

And why he was not the one to take the managers job on and have monk work under him?
 
I can't remember who said it but recently a player made a comment about what makes a good manager and he said:

"it's the ones who find the perfect balance of motivational skills and tactical vision".

Unfortunately it looks like we're just replaced one for the other.
