Wasn’t he guy who wanted control of spending at Brighton?

No, he wanted them to spend some of the 262m they received in transfers on new players.

So yes then. 
 

Edit Also, do you know how many shots on target Bournemouth actually had?

This thread will feel a bit odd if we edge towards mid table. 

I agree with you. If we start to take our selves out of the relegation picture and look mid table it will be a strange looking thread in hindsight. However, I think the thread is still completely valid as I just don’t see that happening under cooper. I really hope it’s does though, would love to jump and bandwagon and deny I was never cooper out. 😂😂

Or how about we perhaps don’t **** things up again, despite making a near £600m in transfer fees? In some cases negativity is justified, and I think that warrants a negative outlook. 
 

And how do you know we’re staying up? We’ve not even played ten games, we could quite easily lose the next two….

I know we are staying up because our boring football is making us difficult to beat. The fact that teams like Spurs and Arsenal find it difficult to beat us means we're going to stay up. We're unbeaten in 6 out of  9 matches in all competitions.

And why, in crikey ****, would he join us?

The question was about getting someone with creativity and forward thinking. Brighton certainly had that for 18 months and he turned a side that couldn't score under Potter into a free-scoring outfit.

 

Would he join us? Why not ask him? Ranieri and Rodgers were out of our league until we asked them.

I am neither tbh, but I hope he succeeds, do not understand why someone not? As if he wins, we win.

We will be in the bottom 3 mix I’m afraid. You can defend for large parts of a 2nd half like that and get away with it often. We was being over run and he left subs til like 75 mins or somthing like that. At one point did faes shout over at cooper asking him to do somthing bout it 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Whilst 80% of his football is a total bore draw. I will admit that somehow he has managed to make us competitive and hard to beat in most fixtures. However his relentless refusal to unclick the handbrake and be progressive i.e. go for a win. Makes him seriously hard to like. And his substitutions in matches make fecking

Rogers look a tactical genius!! I mean Soumare - really!!

 

He doesn't deserve the sack - yet. But he's on thin ice.

So? You prove nothing other than a negative expectation. We won, albeit against the odds. Who knows what that win could subsequently inspire eh?  

 

Did you know that Bournemouth had no more shots on target than us?

 

I am not pro Cooper and I am not anti-Cooper, I am pro-balance.

Yeah competely agree. If he keeps winning I will happily eat my words. Long live king cooper. Haha 

[sylofox]

WOW One win and it seems some numpties on here think he's keeping us up.

 

I could manage us to one win In a season.

 

But even in yesterday's win obvious his tactics as they are won't keep us up.

 

Cooper and Rudkin out bury them both in the same skip.

How do you think we're staying up on the back of allowing the most shots against us and having the fewest shots/shots on target? That's just blind faith based on nothing. It's not even a case of people being miserable, this team is playing with the handbrake on

De Zerbi

Football is a results business not about how many shots we've had against us. And results are got by scoring goals and not conceding too many. We've scored in every game except Walsall this season. Unbeaten in 6 out of 9 games in all competitions is how I know we are going to stay up.

3 points outside the relegation zone and some numpties know he is taking us down. It’s a two way street mate.

I agree. I think this squad is actually alright. I think we could stay up but I’m not sure it will be down to cooper.

So yes then.

Yep 2. How many shots in total did we have and how many did they have?

 

19 to our 6.

 

We were at home and didn't have a single corner kick. They had 9.

 

If we're being generous, we rode our luck. On another day they bag 3 or 4.

 

We cannot keep just allow our goal to be peppered. Between Palace and Arsenal we allowed over 50 shots at our goal. In a defensive set up that's incredibly poor.

You really think that scraped out lucky win is the way forward. You really think that lottery win victory is the start of something.

 

Mrs Cooper please lay off of the drugs.

We cannot, but we have to start to build momentum, I just hope this is the start of a confidence building run. Not going to lie, I am not convinced, but results are indifferent to my hope and preference so might as well be optimistic while I can.

Tbh up to now the results are no different to the great escape season. But the performances are way fvcking different. The Pearson side and tactics gave some of us hope. Not saying the side but cooper tactics are like Hari Kari in comparison.

 

Yes probably spelt wrong but you know what I mean.

First half against Bournemouth was the best we have been all season, who knows eh? Maybe it’s the start of a beautiful thing.

Nothing looked different we was lucky they didn't score.

 

Second half we just invited them on. We can't keep doing that and previous results tells us why not.

Yes that's true - unfortunately hitting the post and bar don't count as shots on target. The main point is, I think, in the second half, in particular, only one team looked like they might score and it wasn't us. Playing at home, against a team such as Bournemouth, I didn't expect us to be overrun in the second half, after a decent first half showing. This is where, for me, Cooper's game management and lack of substitutes who might influence the game, is lacking. I know people keep saying he's making us hard to beat, but I'm of the opinion that's more down to poor finishing by the opposition and an outstanding keeper, rather than us stopping the opposition creating chances.

First half,  they were lucky that Vardy did not  score, they were lucky the referee ignored the foul on Buonatte, they were lucky that hand ball was not a penalty.

Nothing is as cut and dried as you make out from the first half.

Second half we were sh*t I agree.  

2 shots each on target in that game, the rhetoric on here does not act like it.

But yes they had 10,000 shots off target so they should of won for sure.

Do not disagree, but it would be nice to see a more balanced post once in a while.

Ranieri had just been sacked by Greece and his reputation was in the mud. City fans were unimpressed with the appointment hence the famous "Claudio? really?" Gary Lineaker tweet.

 

Brendan was probably the only time I remember us attracting a better manager than I thought we could get on paper. He was no fool and understood how good a squad macia and puel had assembled.
