Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[SecretPro]

Buzzing.

[foxfanazer]

I don't wanna get ahead of myself but I'm excited about our future under Ruud. Love how he celebrates our goals

[Lambert09]

what odds would you get on Ruud finishing above man u? 

[SecretPro]

Hopes he's such a success that he becomes a 5+ year Leicester man because I love him.

Some people wanted Moyes 😆players do look a lot more hungry now and more desire. No doubt under Cooper game wed be done at 0-2.

Proactive early subs you say

Got em playing for him hasn't he, what a world of difference a new manager makes in only a week!

[foxfanazer]

I'm fully invested. Would love for this to properly work 

[StriderHiryu]

I have been really impressed. I think he got the starting lineup wrong and should have made changes at half time, but he read the game state well and made changes that swung the game. We also came out for the second half way more aggressively, it's clear they listen to the manager.

 

You also see him on the touchline screaming instructions at the players and getting the message across.

 

If we had Ruud in charge from game one we would have 100% have stayed up. We might still do it, this guy is very good!

He was lucky today. I think we have seen marked improvements in his first week, but today he was lucky.

 

But I would prefer a lucky manager over a good one. I am hoping we have both.

Already shown more tactical awareness than Cooper after 2 games. 

[JimJams]

If we lose the next 3 he'll still have a better PPG than Cooper.  And that's with the latter having played 3 of the bottom 4.

Not scared to change style or set up if it isn't working, big plus

All Ruud can do is motivate what he has, organise them as best as he can, and make the changes to our advantage, and he did very well in that regard.

If that happens there's only 1 place he leaves for and that's Old Trafford. For him to stay 5 years, he will have had to have been successful enough for us to want to keep him, and that would probably mean turning down around 3 job approaches between now and then from possibly Newcastle/Villa/Spurs level sides. For him to do that we'd need to almost be back to where we were.

I’m already worried about him being poached in the summer.

If he does then we’re a premier league club and that’s ALL that matters now. Surviving this season because surviving next season becomes a lot easier.

I actually think that he really appreciates the different stages of the game, player matchups and their fitness levels. Tactically his in game management is looking very good to me. The players are clearly keen to impress him too and he is really getting a tune out of them.

I think he'll look to have at least one full season with us where we make progress beyond survival.

Some stability would be nice

Yeah, it’s frustrating, but if he is poached then we have had success (survival this year or improvement next) and if stability looks like Cooper…._

He wasnt lucky he is still working out the best team and made the right changes second half to allow us to get something

If you score 2 goals in the last 5 minutes of the game to get a point - you are at least a little itty-bit lucky.

I've already made peace that is a short term fling, he's either rubbish (which doesn't look it so far) or he keeps us up and we build from there, given his stature in the game he will be at the top of the "big" teams hit list
