As well as not seeing the old chestnut of "We can't afford to", where's the "Who you going to replace him with?!".

 

I'm still seething with a passive aggressive little jumped up **** that (literally) got in my face last season shouting "Who you gonna replace him with! Who you gonna replace him with! Who you gonna replace him with!" and before I could get a word in or respond had already ran off.

It is rather relevant, though. I keep reading he is inexperienced and a novice so you go down a different route. But what do you offer them? Eight games to get us up having made it clear we've sacked the last bloke because the future of the club is at stake? A longer deal with the risk we don't go up and are stuck with them in a desperate situation in the Championship?

 

We saw last season what sacking someone late in the season offered. To be honest, I'm not fussed if they sack Maresca but getting a new man in is not straightforward.

I actually think Smith, Shakespeare and Terry could have worked, but they were hamstrung, it was obvious as early as their second game they were told to change the style.  Then this season we had fans posting they were so relieved we didnt employ Smith as if he is some kind of horrid turd, we have turned into tippy tappy football slobs.  But that management team is what we needed in my opinion to go back to the basics and get players motivated and working hard for us again, it was clear from the comments fitness of the players would have been a priority as well which is something we have been lacking in for at least 2 seasons now.

I mean I was joking, just bring up tiresome quotes, drivel and experiences that got thrown at the likes of me last season regardless of whether it's a good point or not.

Yeah the problem is they didn't act soon enough

How can a club that has won the Premier League & FA cup in the past 8 years be in such a mess ? 

 

It beggars belief, surely changes at the very top are needed.

Joke of a thread, not going well at the moment and he’s making mistakes. But this is laughable  

He’s over seen the most spectacular collapse in championship history. That’s what is laughable.

It really isn't though is it? Being balanced, I'd say that your post is more 'laughable'.

 

Too late in the season to sack him, and even moreso considering it's a poor 6 game run. But if it had been a 10 game run with a similar PPG, then I think he should be sacked. 

 

If we're being fair and placing him on a scale, Enzo is certainly closer to being sacked than a new contract on current performance.

Every single week that Enzo refuses to change, he is actively putting his ego and his system over the future of this club (if it fails). 
 

I haven’t been sold since day 1, on a few occasions he’s almost turned me, but even when we were 14 points clear of 3rd it seemed obvious to me that even if we did trounce the league and go up, our system is way too rigid and would be near impossible to be successful with in the top flight without monster levels of investment. 
 

Now I just think he’s very naive, it really was crazy how cult like the fanbase got over him, talking about how he’s going to the top of the game, going to take over at Man City, going to the top 6, we are lucky to have him etc. 

 

No doubt he’s done some real good things here, the speed at which he turned the ship around and brought real positivity to the club and fanbase for a long period cannot be ignored, but I just don’t have faith in a manager who lacks even basic pragmatism in his approach.

It probably is, but this drop off is very strange, almost unique. 

 

He won't be sacked, we can't afford it & he has plenty of plus points. But the at lack of intensity & seemingly lack of plan B is worrying.

Enzo - Hi Pep, it's Enzo.....

 

Pep - Enzo who?

 

Enzo - ?????

 

Pep - Only kidding, what do you want Enzo, Kevin is about to give me a massage.

 

Enzo - i'm in trouble Pep, think im gonna blow this promotion push, maybe i should play 4-4-2, or 3-5-2, we have great players gor that system, we have ricardo and Justin overlapping, connor could play in a back 3, nacho and vardy could do the job, what do you think?

 

Pep - have faith Enzo, it isnt the system, its that the players arent playing it well enough, they'll get it eventually, exactly what i've told Vincent.

 

Enzo - of course you're right boss, do you think i should make subs earlier?

 

Pep - if those players cant play 90 minutes better than the opposition, then they need to get better

 

Enzo - so wise boss, so wise.

I so need a bookmark post button, replied so I can find it from my post history.

This is the main reason we lost. 

 

Not Enzo. Not his lack of subs but players not finishing chances where they are stood 7 yards out with just a keeper to beat.

 

 

This goes both ways, go back and watch our matches this season and see the sheer amount of goal scoring chances our opponents have absolutely wasted on us. 
In most games we gift opponents 2-3 big chances, luckily for us they often miss. 
 

It balances out in my opinion, if we started finishing our chances, and our opponents did too, it would net to 0 and we would still be in the exact same place.

It happened an awful lot at start of season as well, many of those one goal victories, the opponents wasted multiple good chances.

Statistically if they had come in 2-3 games earlier they probably would have kept us up based on PPM. The margins were just too fine thanks to the board.

The really sad part is, I actually think Dean Smith would have got this lot up. And I was not happy with him at all by the last game. 

Farke definitely would

 

I thought he was a busted flush and a desperate appointment by Leeds

 

Experience goes a long way

This not just a manager problem, or are those who are saying we have a premier league squad now putting all at the managers door?

The guy seems even more disinterested than Rodgers. Apart from if he thinks the fans don't appreciate his style of football.

But it is? 
 

And it’s painfully obvious it is. This is the best squad in the league, but he refuses to play to its strengths and refuses to put the team before his philosophy. 
 

The team is having a confidence crisis, and this doesn’t go away unless you change something, which he won’t do. We’re just flogging a dead horse and losing more confidence as we go.
