These are my thoughts from January and honestly they’re not too dissimilar now. I’ll do a proper post when I’m on my laptop but my thoughts on the problems we are having are linked.
It’s an absolute circus right now. Levy has completely lost the fans. We’ve had vanity project managers that are past their best and that have to take partial blame for the failures. Dreadful football, a complete lack of coaching for the squad. In contes case he completely alienated the whole team with his style of management. I’ll go in to more details later but by the end there wasn’t a single player sad to see him go.
Unfortunately those players cannot be let off the hook either. Same old players manager after manager that constantly fail. Squad players like Dier and Davies under Poch now playing every week. Lloris well past his sell by date. Plodders like Hojbjerg in the middle. We have some great attacking talent still and it’s not utilised. Son coming off a golden boot told to drop twenty yards deeper and get the ball in non dangerous areas to accommodate old man perisic.
The next appointment is massive. These players need coaching, they need patterns of play, and attacking emphasis. Plus we have to have an overhaul. The old guard need to go. Time to go back to what made us successful, young, hungry footballers that want to take instruction and learn, and don’t have the history of failure tied to them. We need to change the mentality
