AyewJoking Posted 8 March 2023 Posted 8 March 2023 Give him time? We dont have time. Best thing he has done is let us use Maddison in the centre. Also he does track back and help out. 1
Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 8 March 2023 Popular Post Posted 8 March 2023 look we’ve gambled on him now, no point giving up on it and trying something else. We need to give it time and brandan needs to do what he’s paid for and coach him into making better decisions. The ability is obviously there. We simply need this front 4 to work and if brendan can’t get it to click then we are over and out. The moment we give it up and switch to a 5atb i think that’s us done. 7

I love listening to him. What he doesn’t know about S American football isn’t worth knowing. And if Vickery says this about Tete, then believe it! Cos it’ll be true

That said, he shouldn't be written off yet.

Will he be self aware that he needs to look at his game and break it all down. Much like Demarai Gray, he just believes he needs to be parachuted into a team that works for him. You need to work out how to adapt your approach to the game and you have to be honest with yourself. He could choose to be a provider, see the runs and availability of other players and pick them out. Our problem has been poor decisions being made in the last third,if he can adjust his game to be a provider, he would be a bigger asset. 1

He is indeed a specialist on Brazilian football but Tete has never played a senior game in or for Brazil. I think the spirit of what he said was it'll be interesting to see how he gets on. It wasn't like he was saying we have signed a star. Edited 9 March 2023 by John12345 Typo
SafewayFox Posted 9 March 2023 Posted 9 March 2023 There is a player in there but he’s not the second coming of Mahrez as we hoped is how I’d view Tete so far. But then again, I actually liked parts of Under’s game but like Tete they seem to have a couple of tendencies that you can’t get away with in the PL.

I mean the concerns are growing, I can't lie, but it's funny how the longer nearly everybody spends with this manager the worse they get. Never a truer word. With Luke Thomas, he was obliged to play him when the injuries mounted up. He shone, match-after-match, for half a season, culminating in his significant participation in the FA Cup Final. Now he's become a pariah dog for a certain section of boo-boys on this forum. But Rodgers dropped him for Justin, when he could have done both lads a favour by continuing with Luke and easing Justin back into full competitive Premier matches. Thus he's knocked back the confidence Thomas had gained and thrown Justin in at the deep end. With Téte, it's been the shiny new toy thing, where, instead of letting a new signing gradually assimilate, you put him in that extremely awkward situation of being the new saviour - as well as discomfiting the guys he's displacing and disappointing and those team members expecting him to take pressure off them. I'm genuinely bewildered by just how stupid managers can be; how they manage to prove the Peter Principle time-after-time, never content with reaching that level where their talents outweigh their ambition. Rodgers isn't capable enough to manage his players, their losses of form/confidence, their injuries and returns from injury, their antagonism et al. It's showing in the fluctuations of their games, and the general trend is negative. 1

This is the equivalent of "don't stop gambling on that slot machine, the next spin could be a jackpot" It's still very much saveable at this point by removing Rodgers from the equation.
An Sionnach Posted 9 March 2023 Posted 9 March 2023 (edited) Mahrez should never be mentioned in this discussion. Its over , for ever, we move on. I see Tete as a totally different sort of player. Demari Gray with more between his ears perhaps. Edited 9 March 2023 by An Sionnach 1

Lee Monty Posted 11 March 2023 Posted 11 March 2023 Wait all this time to sign a Brazilian only to find Gabor Boly in disguise
FLAN Posted 11 March 2023 Posted 11 March 2023 Absolutely disappointed with this guy. If you thought Gallagher used to be a lightweight…
Daggers Posted 11 March 2023 Posted 11 March 2023 I will never trust another opinion from the Flair. I feel abused.
Pliskin Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 (edited) Before you start hurling shit towards him, just remember that he’s joined a club on its arse being run by Ronald McDonalds shit cousin. No one can succeed in this current environment. Edited 12 March 2023 by Pliskin 3
HybridFox Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 We've signed a dud. Granted he's playing in a team full of duds. But a dud nevertheless 1
so1 Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 A bit crazy thinking we can go out and buy a roster full of PL players ready to hit the ground running. We don't have the funds. Going to be a very difficult few seasons ahead for those with high expectations of players we buy from all over Europe to fill all the open spots on our roster. This guy has all the attributes of a very fine PL player. Needs time to acclimate. Same for Daka. Until Seagrave starts producing more PL talent this is where we are.

No one can succeed in this current environment. I think that’s how I see it. There’s poison at the club and my feeling is it permeates throughout the ranks, starting with Rodgers. And that no player is going to thrive whilst it’s like this. We joked after Tete’s debut about how long it was going to take for Rodgers to ruin him? Well it’s not taken long has it. Tete looks a good player imo. He’s just playing for the wrong club at the wrong time.
Tommy G Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 I think we could sign KDB tomorrow and he’d manage to be a flop. Useless 1
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 12 March 2023 Posted 12 March 2023 (edited) Tries to do too much himself. Looks like a player that needs a season or two to get to grips with premier league and we don't have that time. Frankly he dosen't look good enough or strong enough.
