I honestly don't think his most important job is changing the style of play as much as it is having the reputation and respect to look these so called international superstars in the eye and tell them to stop ****ing about - and have them listen! He has won more than any of our players have. They wont get away with a shrug of the shoulders after yet another defeat.
Yeah I think you have a fighting chance now as a Sunderland fan I'd rather you stuck with Super Mac but I'm trying to think how he will set up your team and I can't do that with the players you have compared to how he has set up with the style of players he had in the past.
that periscope vid ends just as he's reading out the list of players who are no longer welcome at the club...
Did he ever play with 3 CB's? If so I would be playing Taylor (Mbemba if he is fit), Lascelles and Dummett. With Colback and Janmaat as wing backs. Shelvey, Gini and Tiote in CM and Doumbia and Perez up front!
It looks like you are saying that Marcelo Gallardo is better than JPF. That's not much of a recommendation considering even John Carver was probably better than JPF!!!
Can you believe this has happened!? The drama never stops coming at Newcastle Utd! We really needed to do something dramatic to snap the club out of the slow slumber towards the championship we have been in. I am expecting this to give the players the rocket they needed.
We are clearly polar opposites and not going to agree on this, especially rating Reina as a good goalie (just because the others have been a shambles! Bogdan, Dudek, ****ing Brad Jones. Mignolet is in the same bracket as Reina, though you'll never agree. Like I say, I'll support anyone on the pitch or in the dugout, but this is not the best move for us at all. It's desperation on our part and his. I would have been much happier with a boss like Moyes who has proven he can build with little investment and plays practically. Someone needs to build for the future, not gamble on staying up.
Reina was twice the goalkeeper Mignolet will ever be. He probably is not even in the best 3 keepers Sunderland have had in the premiership.
