Matt Reeves

Another long serving member of the club that needs his attributes questioned.

 

The PL relegation season (first one) I remain convinced it wasn’t lack of quality or effort, madders, youri & vards..That squad was easily talented enough to stay up.

 

In my opinion it was lack of fitness. We were too slow and passive (how many times did Rodgers’s say that?) too slow to close down, because when we did teams were too good passing it around us, so we’d drop back and appear like we were not trying. 

 

fast forward 3 years we run less then anyone else, our players look ****ed! No overlapping runs, no direct runs off the ball.
 

anyone else agree?

Someone who has been part of the furniture at the club with no ambition to go elsewhere

I love how he stands up randomly off the bench to pass on a message but always has a water bottle to hand to someone. 
 

Because of that I imagine he talks like Adam Sandlers Waterboy. “Mama says if we run up that hill we’ll Be fine”

The whole club needs clearing out. Owner, board, manager, coaches, fitness team, scouting team, players, all of them. The sad thing is that most of these will remain in place while the average paid people that work behind closed doors will all lose their jobs. 

 

Club is an utter disgrace!

Completely agree. No idea how he hasn't come under much more scrutiny. We've been unfit for years. Tielemans is a prime example. Looked massively overweight for us. Goes to Villa doesn't play, presumably because Emery wasn't happy with his fitness, and then eventually returns looking 2 stone lighter and starting nearly every game. 

 

This season we've been a disgrace. Literally outrun by every team. It's not even an observation, the stats back it up. 

 

Got to seriously question Reeves given the facilities at his disposal. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

We have too many people who’ve been around for an age. New voices, new ideas and new blood needed. Any organisation in any field gets stale if people stick around too long, particularly if leadership is shit.

[turkish14]

The players at our disposal are not 23rd place championship quality. 
 

This squad should have been good enough for top 6, they don’t become collectively shit overnight. 
 

again we have been off the pace all season, that’s a fitness issue which then becomes a confidence issue.

I’ve been saying since Rodgers second season the team never looks fit. Its a huge reason we’ve ended up where we are. 
 

I always thought it was the managers we chose but maybe the rot does run deeper.
