Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

[UniFox21]

Percy had this one locked away.

"Mutinous fans" 

 

 

 

[Paninistickers]

I beggining to wonder if it's satire. Some kind of weird performance art. Surrealism. Vaudevillian! 

 

If so, in some respects it's marvellous in its purity. Melvyn Bragg and Yentob might do a piece on it. 

[ALC Fox]

Tonight's performance may have been partly down to the dearth of quality in the squad as well as the recruitment (and lack of).

 

But the manager must take a lot of responsibility.

 

There were no coherent patterns of play at all. Everything was reactive. The players received the ball and then took a touch and had a look around and wondered 'what do I do now then?'

 

When receiving the ball after a corner, Soumare had a look and took an age to make a decision to give it back to Ayew, the corner taker. Ayew had two men to take on, realised his only back-up was Soumare who had made no overlapping run and then Ayew made the decision to take on a run at goal.

 

There was no forethought, no moves honed on the training ground, no one-touch football. The players didn't know where each other were going to be.

 

The midfield was absolutely vacant at times when Ndidi joined Vardy up top and El Khannous drifted out wide with absolutely nobody else filling the gap.

 

With Mavididi and Buonanotte on the bench, there was no pace or penetration out wide. Both players now starved of game time and looking leggy for it when they came on, unable to really get up to speed with the game. Buonanotte still looks like a real talent but is being criminally overlooked.

 

Absolutely everything stinks of poor management, both by King Power and Van Nistelrooy.

 

Honking.

I’m with him - there’s no way of turning it around with the shit squad he has.

But he's tried the same thing over and over. Try something else!

[Hales]

Don't, Top will cry about how horrible we are being again! 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

He’s got to go hasn’t he, it’s completely rudderless.

 

Mean, how you could start that same 11 minus one enforced change in the same bloody awful shape that we’ve been doing all season long under both managers.

 

I can’t comprehend how people who have lived professional football for 30-40 years can’t see obvious problems in front of them and not even try to change something to correct them.

 

 

[Lad1966]

No one will want to come to this shamble of a club. Despite that I want RVN sacked. He been given a crap squad to work with, but he’s not helped himself by his team selections and not willing to change the team formations, to try something different!

I’d agree if I thought we had better players on the bench… with the exception of Buoanotte we haven’t

that post match interview is beyond pathetic, 

he doesnt have a leg to stand on whats so ever, he keeps playing the same under performing players, keeps playing the same stupid system and formation

hes not learnt, hes not adapting, get the stupid idiot gone

[em9999]

Should be sacked a.s.a.p 

 

Has no clue what he's doing 

[coolhandfox]

Dutch Peter Taylor.

 

Take your cloggs and f@@k off.

[winteriscoming]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a manager make more defensive changes when 3 nil down than attacking changes. 
Absolutely clueless manager. 
We’ve done the impossible and found someone worse than Cooper. 

[nettle]

He's absolutely clueless isn't he I thought he was actually changing the formation when bringing on Vestergaard. But no he sticks Okoli at right back and he gets ripped a new one. He should have gone weeks ago but bin him asap.

[Poznan34]

It's literally the manager's job to get more than the sum of the parts from the players - that's what tactics are for. If you can't do that, resign.

It's also about the shape etc etc. (which I'm sure you know). By hook or crook good managers would find a way to scrape points. Park the bus, whatever. He's basically accepted relegation in that radio Leicester interview. I mean I agree with him on that, but only because he's thrown many games away. 

[inckley fox]

I've just never seen such a void of new ideas from a new manager. Shape? Nothing. Personnel? His major statement has been to drop Facundo, our principal goal provider. Style? An attempt to appease those who felt we needed to enjoy a bit more possession. Which has also been a spectacular failure.

 

He's been outright awful, with no caveats, even considering the circumstances. Just a complete failure to come up with solutions. But my god, what a glorious aura he has.

Would help if he didn't play Reid and Ayew every game. The guy is clueless and out of his depth.

This sounds like a man that is out of ideas, doesn't know where to go and has given up. 

 

Needs to go at the same time as Rudkin and the footballing side of the directors.

I’m not defending him, I agree with what you’re saying… I’m just trying to fathom what he’s thinking and that must be to pick your best side and hope that consistency of selection helps them to play together. It obviously hasn’t!!

 

I didn’t hear the RL interview… The Opta stat is that we are 95% likely to be relegated so he’s not unrealistic in that opinion!

The interview of a man that knows he's done but also making sure its known that he wasn't given a competitive squad by the clowns in charge.

[fox_favourite]

Players look lost and not caring, manage looks lost, DoF or whatever he is doesn't have a clue, a owner that is out his depth.

 

He needs to go. That was worse than Coopers last game. But the rot is so deep it is only going to get worse. 

[markko]

I stood up for Cooper. I thought he should have been given more time. I was in a minority. Well the change came. Are we better for it? Nope. More money wasted in compensation. I am not sure if anyone could.keep this team up. Very sad times. The club is being mismanaged. It goes beyond the manager and the players. Anyone would take the money/contracts we have thrown about. We bought in Edouard and are being bled dry and we signed Skipp. Not good enough for spurs. What a waste when we are skint!
