Think they're entitled to success and believe that they're a 'big' club, when in fact that their history 30 years ago etc is not current and they haven't achieved anything of note for many season now. Unfair comparison. Everton have spent a lot of money and recruited several managers in recent years. 7th, at least, should be theirs but they've managed that once in five years. Plus the fact their neighbours are doing so well exacerbates the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAnglianFox Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 Makes it even more frustrating given the results today, just a shred of consistency and we could have been out of sight in 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like some other PL team Liverpool struggling at the back with injuries and Milner suspended, it will come down to who scores the most trouble is there is no comparison, they are far superior in that department.

Super_horns Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 Well least when you visit it ought to be a decent open game with both sides attacking.... I mean we were rubbish and really just fell into Burnley's hands with their players just being stronger and quicker but they do like to break the game down. They had a goal wrongly ruled out at the end which left Dyche fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless linker is still in tears. No more biased reporting. Wolves are the Kings of the PL and we will hunt that crown down in then n ext few years. Out of the darkness cometh the light."

StriderHiryu Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 17 minutes ago, Ian Nacho said: Does anyone see similarities between Sarri and Puel? You could add Marco Silva and possibly even Emery to this list. All of them are stubborn in the way they want to play football, and rarely deviate from their preferred system. To defend all of them slightly, if you don't have a clear identity and keep playing a certain way, then your team is never going to truly pick up and get good at that said style. Sarri had Napoli playing brilliant stuff, Emery won the Europa league with Sevilla and then was reasonably successful with PSG and even the much maligned Puel was successful at Monaco, Lille and Nice. So it's not like any of them are clueless. BUT having said all that, some say the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing repeatedly and expect things to change. So when a team loses with the same old problems, then a stubborn manager is going to look like an idiot. Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp all had an iconic style of play. For most of them, it took them a while for their respective teams to truly grasp that style. Ferguson was famously saved by an FA Cup win, Guardiola looked foolish in first season, and Klopp had the same amount of points as Rogers in his first . Wenger was superb from the offset, but then was very stubborn in changing his style which may be one reason why he tailed off. And Mourinho was superb at Chelsea in his first season both times, but then tailed off and looked out of his depth at Manchester United. So in some cases being stubborn really works, and in other it doesn't. It's a fine line. Look at Ranieri here as an example. In his second season, he changed his tactics every week to find an answer and got criticised. But now you have managers like Sarri that don't change their style and have a clear identity and also get criticised! As a manger you are kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's a tough job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's obviously a very decent player, however am convinced that he can still improve and can add more to his game knowing his strong game awareness (particularly in the position that Sarri is using him now, which he's still growing into).
