May be a hot take but I actually think his principle he had in mind with the wingback pushing forward and the winger tucking in, is a good system and if done correctly can be a nightmare.

 

Problem is Cooper doesn’t have the ability to implement/coach that style effectively. The constant chopping and changing of formations and personnel on a weekly basis was his biggest downfall. Ruined everyone’s confidence.

I think with the personnel we have it's an awful system.  Nullified our wingers and left the full back position exposed time and again.

Closed thread.

 

Time to move on to the ruddvolution.

It'll be interesting to hear his side of the story.

 

Reckon Cardiff may be quite interested, if Omer Riza doesn't pull them away to more safety soon.

Not a chance that an ex Swansea manager moves to Cardiff given he’s a Welshman

Implemented incorrectly and created backwards motion within the team, rather than the forward motion we had last year with RickyP pushing forward. 
 

Yes we passed sideways a lot last year but at least we had players running towards goals!

He seems a genuinely nice bloke who cared about the job and the club - I think it was just a case of the wrong man at the wrong club at the wrong time. I don't wish him any ill will, and I hope he goes on to find success somewhere else.

I know it’s a pointless debate but do you think we’d be facing a fifth consecutive defeat if this clown was still picking the team?

Yes and we wouldn’t have beaten West Ham.
