When are people going to stop presuming the manager's post match comments are what he says to the players? Surely we all know a little bit more about football by now.
About how it was a good performanceWhat comments?
You know...his comments. The commenty ones.What comments?
Well obviously but after a performance like that it's clearly BS and not at all what the fans want to hear.When are people going to stop presuming the manager's post match comments are what he says to the players? Surely we all know a little bit more about football by now.
Don't be naive...he's not gonna call it shit and start calling players out in public is he?About how it was a good performance
onomah is a young player he has fight and skills, even when on the ground,I feel Poch is trying to get his new signings into the team, at the cost of tactical balance. Kane playing deeper to accommodate Janssen, and two DMs to accommodate Wanyama means we lose the balance we had last season.
I'm fine with those two signings as squad depth, and backups, but I'm not convinced they should be actual starters. Dier needs a ball playing pivot next to him, a la Bentaleb, and Eriksen should be the hook with Kane the striker.
It really is that simple, don't fix what isn't broke.
I'm also yet to see anything from Onomah that makes me genuinely rate him.
Did I suggest that? Don't be patronising. It's a big difference between slagging off players in public and admitting that we weren't at our best.Don't be naive...he's not gonna call it shit and start calling players out in public is he?
If he was saying this to the players off camera then there'd be cause for worry.
But what options does he have mainly a bench full of boys, you can see the lack of depth and quality at his disposal.
I just find it naive that anyone takes a word of what he says, in an interview he has no choice in making, as indicative of what he actually thinks.Did I suggest that? Don't be patronising. It's a big difference between slagging off players in public and admitting that we weren't at our best.
We really do need some players in if he's not going to play Chadli and Son. That first XI is going to get flogged within an inch of their lives and performances are going to suffer even more. It's no way to treat any of the coaching or playing staff.
for me we over performed massively last season. At the start after the Berahino debacle most were thinking 6th would be about right and then various players stepped up and others around us faltered
i don't think you can call consistent good performances, over performing.
we were very consistent last term out.
the pressure now is that we
set a standard, and the questions arise can we match or better that.
however last term , we did fall off our high levels, late on , mainly due to the not so high standards of the other members of the squad, masons, chadli, carroll, bents trips.
and the over reliance and excessive use of kane upfront.
liverpool has 3/4 strikers, as do arse, and manu/citeh
we are over reliant on our quality few.
posh gave the others a chance and they showed him that they were incapable of finishing the job.
the main issue we have is competitiveness, too many of the above mentioned players do not have that edge.
