Ruud out - has to go

[Mickyblueeyes]

Il criticise his line up today. I’m not Ruud out yet. I’m sure I’ll get there if we keep losing but genuinely think, what is the point. 
 

He cannot keep playing the two in midfield. My 8 year old pointed it out all game (proud moment) we are losing it in midfield, they’re too weak dad. Yes, I know, why can’t they see it! Without Ndidi, Winks and Soumare are not going to win the battle. 
 

Play to your limited strengths. VK comes out with a little bit of credit - going forward. With Coulibaly, we have two attacking wing backs who can just about defend. Justin can sit in the toilet for all I care. 
 

Coady, Vestegaard, Faes and Okoli are our centre backs. We are unlikely to get anyone else. None of them are good enough to play in a two. We have to go to three, 

 

Facundo and Bilal are our best attacking players - get them playing the most minutes. 
 

It’s a shit shit squad. Embarrassing. But you can’t keep trying to go toe to toe with far superior squads. They don’t have the mentality for that.

You can’t blame Ruud for the subs. Our squad is so honking we have literally nobody above League 1 level to bring on.

You can absolutely blame him for taking off the only player that played like he wanted to be there for Kasey McAteer so that he can play Jordan Ayew as a number 10.

ok ruud

[StonyFox]

We just haven't got the quality of player. I also don't think we have enough goal scoring players who have scored goals in their career. So if vardy doesn't score, no one else does. Bilal looks a great prospect, but he's only scored 6 in 112 games.

Can we blame him for the team coming out 0-0 at half time in the last two home games being passive and on the back foot.

[LCFCCKEANO]

I have been very positive the tactics set out… the subs today were beyond questionable, I do not understand how you can see the flow of the game and think Ayew seeing the 90 out was ever acceptable… and if legs were an issue with Vardy/BEK, how in the entire earth can you start them against QPR… Ruud is a coach doing a managers job I am starting to believe

The squad is the problem

Whatever the problem, Mcateer is never the answer. 

[CrazyKopCorner]

His after match interview and comments were pitiful. Full of nonsense and arrogance

Ruudkin Out would be a more effective decision. How he can survive this decline is mind boggling is the equivalent of Rachel from Accounts keeping her job.

1/6 on betfair to be the next manager to leave

They both share an air of untouchable that’s for sure

[teblin]

Recruitment is the problem, recruitment of players and managers.

 

The only reason I can think of that he takes Bilal off is that his legs had gone. But didn’t seem that way.

 

I do still have some sympathy for Ruud. 4 players out who at least would give him better options.

 

Also the summer recruitment was so bad, that wasn’t on him.

 

But 7 in a row is just not good enough and strange decisions he is making seems he isn’t good enough either.

Is this the place that wanted maresca sacked last season, wanted Cooper out and now wants RvN out? Oh, OK!

We can't just keep sacking managers ,just look at the players ,we need to offload some of the dead wood imo

I can see him walking at the end of the window to be fair

[Pliskin]

He’s just doing the same thing week after week. I mean even Cooper got results, Ruud has had two positive results…. Two. The squad may not be brilliant, but players like Skipp, BDR and Ayew are all experienced PL players. Surely there is something else he could try, a team to make us more solid….. he’s never once tried a different formation or tactic….. it’s just rinse and repeat.

[Winstonthedog]

Ruud van Noidea was another knee jerk reaction by the club ... and to bin him now will further highlight the incompetence of the entire set up ... just stick with him and plan for next season .... but there has to be a full reset ... starting with Whelan and Rudkin ... bring in a new and ambitious manager and playing staff 

[ElusiveEd]

[Winstonthedog]

RUUD VAN NOIDEA  ...  do yourself a favour ..... walk away

They’re a bit of an outlier - none of the other bookies are as short as that. You can still get 3/1 with several others.

He don’t appear to be jumping up and down asking for new signings either. Less than 2 weeks of the window and no new links to people were even interested in.

We've no idea if Coulibaly can defend, I can't imagine if many of us had even heard of him before we signed him. 

 

I agree with your other points, drop Mavididi, play Bilal and Facundo as 2 tens in a 5221 formation. 

 

We looked doomed, the Palace defeat has destroyed what little confidence we have and the players lacked any fight yesterday. 

[Gazza M]

Problem is, most coaches that come through these badges are like robots. Learnt the way to play. Ruud definitely falls in to that. For fuchs sake rip up the manual and try different things. I don't care if we lump it up to Vestergaard or play dirty and bite and kick but please these tactics don't work. 

[lcfcfoz]

He will go today after sleeping on it. Dyche in before the weekends trip to spurs then everton
