Manwell Pablo Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 got to ask because i cant remember anyone else asking. who here honestly believes Craig will get city promoted? if you went down to Tynecastle after CL's second year in charge at Hearts and asked the suppourtes " Who here honestly thinks CL will get you into Europe next season " they would of laughed at you. It happened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 Levein will not get us promoted. Not this season. And not in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 Different country, different situation. CL was operating in a league he was familiar with. He isn't now. Better start digging out those route maps for Port Vale... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 Is that a fact? In my mind it is. I'd put a tenner on it with you if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what I believe any more. Bottom line being I think he could be capable next season, based on his track record at other clubs he is a man who takes time to get reasults and build a winning team. On the other hand if he hadn't of done certain things for this club I would say in the light of recent reasults he has no right to keep his job. He's lucky there are people who will stand by him at this club, and he's lucky we don't have more money. My answer to your question would probabley be yes however ( if you want to boil it down to it's simplest form) as it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 26 December 2005 Author Share Posted 26 December 2005 thats a fair enough answer. i really hope we get a win in our next match and things start to rapidly improve. i sat there today wanting us to win but after ten minutes that same awful feeling swept over me. i was surprised just how similar the match was to the previous match against crewe. though from what ive seen on the mercury website youd have thought city played millwall off the pitch?

Thracian Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 I think that he will, next season, given the chance. A brilliant manager might have done it this season with a more ruthless and analytical approach (the insistence of X goals from set plays for instance) and with faster assessment of strengths and weaknesses. As I've warned, Levein is still learning, he's still short of vital staff both on and off the field and he doesn't have sound enough playing alternatives to adapt his system easily to particular circumstances. Take today. Millwall were a poor but hard-working side with lots of tall players. Our ground based approach play was sometimes okay and has ben improving generally yet we put far too many final balls into the air where they were consistently gobbled up. It's a simple point but to do that is nieve. We had to adapt - tall players don't usually like twisting and turning with the ball on the ground. We had Smith ineffective on the wing because, although he could beat people for fun his end product was never going to hurt. Answer, alternatively make him his low passes into the box and also bring him into the middle for spells. Let he and Hume feed off DeVries, the man in the hole idea that would so often suit our players because Hume/Hammond are not good enough as outright centre-forwards to cope (cos they win nothing in the air in the penalty box for one thing). Ideally though, when doing that, you need two attacking full-backs to some provide the width and we only had one. Tiatto could have helped (as so often in the past) is only he stayed around.

Foxes 2 da grave Posted 26 December 2005 Share Posted 26 December 2005 most fans have lost patience with him because the longer and longer this situation carrys on, the supporters are not seeing any improvement in him as a manager and the performances of individuals on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
