It’s not weak though is it? Skipp at £20m you consider underwhelming? He’s a well thought of player…. Ayew we’ve given a bit of stick, but he’s a vastly experienced PL player who’s played at this level for a long time, as has BDR.
We’ve also got a vast amount of PL experience that not too long ago we’re finishing in the top half of the table…. This squad on paper is well capable of finishing between 17th - 12th. We’ve got some really good attacking players, a fairly experienced midfield and a fairly steady defence.
The problem with the first three games so far has been Coopers tactics. How can you suggest this team isn’t capable of staying up, when your manager is leaving the best attacking players on the bench?
Cooper needs to be braver and believe in the squad, this squad is certainly a lot better than you think it is. With some proper leadership skills and tactical nous this team can do well.
I just don’t think Cooper will succeed, he was very much third choice, the club even had to try and suggest he wasn’t, which just confirms that he was….. he’s being treated like and behaving like a third choice too. These articles definitely feel like the beginning of the end for him in my opinion.
