Tielemans63 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Great to see him make such a brave and proactive move so early on in the game. Yes, there was an element of needs must but you still have to make the right decision. Two tactical decisions made relatively early on in both legs almost saw us through. You see it so often where a manager waits until it's too late to affect a game but Shakey has shown he's not afraid to make big calls. Well done Mr Shakespeare.

Wymsey Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 We'd have lost more had Ranieri been in charge imo. Shakespeare continuously monitored game situations and changed things effectively as possible where suitable. Ranieri never changed much when things were bad/poor. Deserves long-term contract.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 First leg and the second he showed a tactical master class with his half time changes. Hes shown incredible maturity for a new manager. He deserves the job for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Let's be honest if we came out at the start of the game like we did at the second half we may have stood a chance, that has to be down to management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same team that smashed Sevilla off the park. Shakey saw it wasn't working and made a bold move that completely changed the game. Exactly like in the first leg when griezmann was taking us to the cleaners and he made a change which completely nullified him. That is what great management is all about.

He's done enough to earn the right to lead this team. I think he's the perfect fit for us and the players obviously love playing for him. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Their goal was completely against the run of play, we had to keep it at 1-0 for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we'd played the second half tactics first half then we'd have been picked off. Atletico tired second half which helped us, that wouldn't have been the case first half. To be that high up the pitch against an energetic Atletico side could have been suicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been trolling around for years. Personally, I'd be more happy if we went for some younger and more hungry players from the domestic leagues. We are a club that does better building up less well known players and developing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Whilst he's done a very good job, I think the club is at a junction. Do we give him a contract and try to keep our best players? Or do we start afresh with a new manager and let him bring in his own players? I really don't know which way it's going to go. We could easily lose Kasper, Mahrez and Vardy. Others aren't performing at the level they were last season. In some way, tonight feels a bit like an end of a little era. I don't know what's going to happen.

I doubt Shakey will stay if we bring in a new Manager. He's had a taste of the top job and he's taken to it like a duck to water. His stock is high and there would be plenty of Championship teams queuing up to sign him as their no 1 I'd have thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 loved his post-match interview. when he said the players want more of this, it gave me hope for next season. we could have another successful season on our hands next year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 It's got to come down to what the owners want Shakey is good for us, would he get us top 4-6 or bring in top players? Probably not but he will do a decent job Some big name manager will bring in big names and they will have all the tools and money and the know-how to get top level football It's a tough one seeing as though neither are garenteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 I still think he's the best man for the job - and possibly the only man. Any new manager will come across Ranieri's problem: he'll try to change them, they won't change, team spirit will hit rock bottom, we'll lose matches. Anyone who does come in will have to best use what we have - and with support of the team - slowly fill up the gaps in our play. And is there anyone out there better than Shakespeare for that?
