Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[leicesterlad1989]

 The buck stops with whoever is in charge of recruitment for both managers and players, who i assume is Rudkin. Doesnt matter who is in charge. They are on a hiding to nothing. 

 

This summer we've signed Okoli (doesnt play). Skipp (doesn't play). BDR (doesn't play). Eduard (doesn't play). We employed a manager in Cooper who should have been nowhere near this club. Ruuds now expected to work miracles. 

 

We are shit. The club is run by *****. **** em.

In that case we may as well credit a few passes earlier too and give out participation medals 😂😂 

 

Don't trip over your agenda on the way out.

The way we’re ran from the top is hideous

I've no faith in this guy turning it around.  Vanity project for me

It’s ok for people to disagree and debate mate, don’t get upset

World class keeper was keeping us in games. His injury is telling us where we are as a squad. The Championship.  Probably  ot near the top either 

[SafewayFox]

I’m not sold on Ruud after getting caught up with the hype around him, let’s face it, that was definitely the case on here.

 

The fear of being exposed as clueless by the media if we moved on Ruud will stop us from sacking him until we’re mathematically relegated.

 

When we do get relegated (it’s happening isn’t it) if Top doesn’t sack Rudkin as a minimum, Whelan shouldn’t feel safe either then we deserve our years of dross in the football leagues don’t we?

[Muzzy_no7]

Just don’t understand what he was trying to do today? 
 

We created multiple openings against Man City and had large amounts of possession with Bilal and Facu involved in build ups.

 

Why did we play like that today?

 

Why drop Facu? 
 

Why make, once again, really poor subs? 

[Lad1966]

I think we need to stick with RVN. The mistake we made was appointing Cooper. We didn’t invest in our defence, under Cooper, and we are paying the price for that. I want RVN to succeed, and build a team for the future, its clear to me that we are going down, but I want to see some development in our squad, not short term fixes!

Our last hope for us staying up is this transfer window, we need to invest in a rb, cb and a bastard type striker as a bare minimum. Keep the Faith, guys🏆🏆🏆

I don’t think you can blame Jakub.

We look alot better overall now than under Cooper, but there's jus key positions that need replacing. The in game management and team selections need to be scrutinised but overall alot better than under Cooper.

In game management is woeful

[sm1]

Can't fault the starting eleven,  although I had reservations on Ayew and Thomas. The problems come with Ruuds subs, taking off Bilal for Facundo, when surely they should've played together to give us the best chance of scoring. Mavs, goal apart, was horrid and yet he played 90mins. Disappointing. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

The argument that we're playing better is pretty redundant. We've lost 5 in a row. I think "playing well" (debatable anyway), and still not winning is worse!

[nettle]

I still think he needed to bring in his own backroom staff as soon as he started here. New ideas would have helped the fact he's still taking advice from Coopers men doesn't seem right they were part of the dross that was served up at the start of the season

[RowlattsFox]

Still blows my mind that we've appointed a manager that doesn't have a team around him he can trust. 

[winteriscoming]

The main issue when he took over was how poor defensively we were. He hasn’t improved that in fact we’ve got worse in that department. I think he should try playing 3 cbs with wing backs especially away from home.

I was watching it on a stream and I'm certain he was having an argument with the assistant. What the actual **** is going on here?!

Away from home it’s a risk to play them both. Ayew was clearly in to win free kicks and relieve pressure and maybe more physical than FB. 
 

What other sub options did he actually have realistically?

I do think recently we have been better defensively. Limited Villa to nothing in the first half and then it's individual mistakes costing us yet again 

 

Under Cooper there was no sign of any organisation

Exactly. Cooper's football was dreadful, but I still think we'd have ground out a few points from the 5 we've now lost on the bounce.

 

I guess the question really, is whether RvN is the right man for the long term, as we're nailed on for relegation now. I'm not sure, tbh. Maybe his style will work in the Championship. 

[GingerrrFox]

We’ve been in games far more than we were under Cooper, aside from Wolves it’s not been as bad as it was consistently under the Forest lover. The problem is our recruitment has been shit for the last few windows and it’s finally catching up with us. We need a new RB, a ST with presence who can hold the ball up and another winger due to Fatawu’s ACL injury. Then we might have a chance of staying up.

Our goal came from Vardy fluffing it and Mavididi reacting mate. I don’t think you can credit him with that.

You cannot be serious, being wrong is not a terminal condition you know? Ayew has not been a bad signing and he was instrumental in our goal.

[Nods]

The only thing I can get angry about really is his insistence to keep picking James Justin. And Ward, before he thankfully realised his mistake.

 

The style of play is better and we've had mostly tough fixtures of late. 

 

Two signings to give us anything resembling a Premier League level right side and we should start to pick up results against bottom half teams.
