I'm going to bed, turning into a right miserable ****er tonight :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:
Too much use of the word optics will do that to the best of us mate <laugh>

Bloody corporate culture for you. Why they have to borrow and then mangle the meaning of words is beyond me. Especially when perfectly good words for the same thing already exist. Some of these corporate types need to circle back, do a deep dive, and realise that twattishness is becoming baked in.
 
If I read the word "optics" once more I think my head may explode.

Up there with starting sentences with "hearing", "Understand" or "source indicate..."

Just speak normally FFS

Feel like I'm watching Succession all over again.

Glad the club are seemingly checking the temperature, the cultural temperature.

Meanwhile Nixon is playing Sporus to Social Media's Nero.

Emma winning stuff.
 
Of the two mentioned it has to be Jansen for me.
He's a bit of an unknown quantity but seems to play pragmatic attacking football happy to change tactics when needed.
and is great developing young players.

When Beale came in he sucked all the life and spontaneity out of the team
Every game like watching a well drilled coaching session. No life.
Feel with Rosenior it will be more of the same. This was his big criticism at Hull keep ball for the sake of it
Nothing against Rosenior a more likeable lad and maybe he will evolve.
But personally I want to be entertained again.

**** it, I've talked myself into it. I'm on the Liam Rosenior bandwagon. He might not be as glamorous as Still or the flavour of the last 5 minutes Jansen, but I can see him being a good fit.
The lack of chance creation relative to the amount of the ball his teams have is of concern to me. Particularly with what we’ve experienced over the last six months.

I think I’ve done the same haha. Been doing a deep dive on him tonight
 
Still don’t want Rosenior like. Wouldn’t be as bad as Challinor or Robinson, but just don’t think Rosenior takes us to the next level like I think Jansen would. Just a gut feeling.

Sure that may be a concern but it's also a bit of a sweeping statement because by "his teams" you pretty much mean last season at Hull. That's not a dig, I just think he's far too young in his coaching career to pigeonhole and liking his team to control the ball is a good place to start for me.

But I'm not sure the stats themselves show that. A quick looks suggests they were ranked 5th for possession, 7th for XG and 9th for goals. They're all in the same ballpark, but actually taking chances was a bigger problem for them than creating.

I did actually change ‘Hull’ to ‘his teams’ before pressing post but you’re right.

What site/data are you using? As I have them twelfth for xG.
