Clever Fox

Lets hope so we cant afford to lose Mads.

He didn't deserve that result with the performance he put in today. A 10 all day long. I expect Enzo will be back for him either January or next Summer.

He was also at fault for the first goal, Not chasing back to cover. He let the scorer run past him to score. He needs a talking too and bring back his confidence.

Just a few more minutes, Come on leicester.

The Ref has been dreadful. Giving Arsenal everything.

Robbed again , that was a red card .

Whats the odds on that.

what a strike from jj.

While I understand the sentiment this would be a good signing if he comes. Something along the lines of what NP would do.

I'd guarantee he could also do it much better than Cooper though I doubt that's why we're bringing him in. He's a very intelligent individual and a very eloquent speaker.

I suggested that we sign Reid when I heard Cooper was coming. This is brilliant if we make it happen. Not only is he a Physcologist now but he'e also an ex pro player. So he'll be great for the Club as a whole but especially the younger players for their well being.

If he plays Ayew then we're definitely going route one when we get the ball. I think he may bring in McAteer or Facundo to try and retain possession when we have the ball.

Not a bad shout, At least it won't shatter Mads confidence if we let in 5 or more.

Even worse than that. How he ever thought that VK would do better on the wing than Stephy. Then when you cross over to JJ on the right, He's had no defensive support from whoever was supposed to be playing on the right. Is it any wonder we have been conceding Goals while depending on set pieces and living off scraps up top.

Revolt is a too strong a word but there is a lack of leadership from the Manager and I put that down to Coopers inexperience. It's been the Players who have bailed us out and gathered the few points rather than Leadership from the touchline. That's a big concern given some of his weird decisions. His Tactics hasn't worked so he needs to get back to basics ot tweak the tactics. That means putting your best players on the pitch and getting a few results. That's how he'll win the Players and Fans over.

The only one above the Manager generally is the Chairman/Ceo/ Owner. They rely on the Manager they brought in to do the job they want which is usually to improve the squad and bring success. Which is why the Manager is still the most important person at the Club as everything begins to fall into place and success follows.

At least someone is on top of his lob.

Agree 100 % with you. I've said this many times. The most important person at any Club is the Manager. Get the right one in and everything else falls into place.

Chelsea will always be bigger than us and so can attract players. That doesn't mean we cant compete if we find the right players and Manager. How many Managers have tried and failed at Chelsea in recent seasons including Potter , Potch etc. While spending a fortune in the process. Enzo joins and has them competing at the top end just like he done here. That must prove something of his ability. The fact they are playing a different system just proves how good a Coach he is that he can decide the Tactics based on the Players at his disposal. I think things soured between Enzo and the Club when they didn't back him in the January Window in signing the Italian lad. Which seemed badly handled by the Club. The problem with the Coaches is universal in the game but he got a lot of the Coaches to join us when he came. So I guess they were going to stay with him when he left. We'll never know how far he would have taken us now but I sure would have liked to see him continue the journey. Unlike the mess we're in now where we don't even know when the next win will come.

Yes there was some poor performances near the end but I'd put that down more to the players tiredness and anything else. Early season there were also some great games. The mere fact he has Chelsea playing a different system shows he no one trick pony.

Given the way we're setting up and Cooper not picking our best players it's hard to see where any points are coming from. The few points we've managed so far is more to do with the players digging in and having a go than it is the Manger. And that doesn't last for long, Soon they'll just go through the motions and lose most games.

Sorry to disagree but you're wrong , Enzo would have improved the squad to his liking and continued to build success here. Yes even I wasn't happy with everything I seen but I knew we were a work in progress. If only the Club could have backed him the way they did Rogers he may be still here. And I understand why they couldn't. He's the best Coach I've seen in my time in the game. I know Pep is the manager at Man City but I sometimes think their success has as much to do with Enzo's Coaching when he was there. Just watch him continue to build success at Chelsea and think that could have been us if he was still here.

The Reply might be a better watch.

If we start like we have in most games so far then yes, there is areal chance we could lose.

I think I read it in today's Mercury, I guess I should have known better.
