Yes we were overachieving for the first 10 - 15 games this season, but regardless of how bad our squad is, a run of 7 points in 15/16 games is beyond pathetic and To be honest, I am amazed the manager seemingly has 100% backing with no pressure.

To be fair, if you know him, he is a twat, but then again so are all footballers. Football wise, I don’t blame him for wanting to jump the sinking ship.
-
From a good source. You believe what you want. Im expecting to see him in a Tottenham shirt next season (that could change with a new manager coming in, but from what I’ve heard it won’t be a saints one).
-
Have to say I disagree with this point. There has to be some form of flexibility. For example, going down to 10 men against United - shut up shop rather than continuing with your wreck less attacking approach. His in game management is appalling, to say the least. Agree with the formation being ineffective. Too easily out numbered and out muscled in the middle of the park.

Why people can’t see this I’ll never know. Even if Ralph’s style is enjoyable, it’s clearly not right for us this season. My summary is that I suspect he’s a very good coach, we looked well drilled and seemed to know the game plan. However, I think he’s a poor manager. Tactically very nieve and far too stubborn.
-
2 wins in 15 games and has already been already tactically outclassed by the first 2 this season. None of those would be my choice, but they’d be doing a significantly better job than Ralph.
-
Don’t worry, he’s not gonna sign it anyway.

Hahaha obsessed Pal. Did you miss me? But no holiday other than an Enforced one in the SWF can... you’ll have to ask @Lighthouse what that one was for...

Anyone in a team who loses 9-0 twice and looks like it could happen again any week deserves an agenda.
-
He’s being absolutely run into the ground. I suspect he’d like to play every minute of this season, but if he does + euros, he’s going to end up with injuries next season. After Sunday, I hope he’s given a rest.

5 for, for Abbas in 3 overs. Absolutely fantastic bowling. Looks like he’s going to get a wicket with every ball.
-
Some fantastic bowling as well it has to be said.

Football Fan discusses opinion on the manager after 2 wins in 15 games. Shock horror.
-
Is he a ‘second striker’ though?

Mods - please add a 🎣 emoji reaction.

Yes. It was also a team that included players such as; Sabitzer, Keita, Poulsen, Forsburg, Upamecano, Werner It was effectively like us getting promoted into the championship with a top 10 PL team and coming second ahead of big names ole West Ham, at the time. Decent enough job, but a very good team. I don’t know where you got that they didn’t make many changes, they signed Keita and Upamecano from the Austrian champions (another RB team) and Werner from Stuttgart. No other newly promoted teams have the infrastructure in place to utilise a scouting network like that. It’s a unique scenario.
-
But it’s not though, is it. Their infrastructure, scouting network and playing squad is and was one of the top in the German league. I don’t know how Dortmund played that season but budget doesn’t always mean success. Look at Arsenal and Tottenham this season for example. I’d say he done an decent job there but nothing spectacular enough, when combined with the job he’s done here, to warrant a top elite job. So I repeat, he’s only being linked because of his playing style. That is a hipster / trendy choice.
-
Getting Sheffield United to 9th in the PL is a far larger achievement than what Ralph did with Leipzig. You can add Dyce to the list for the job he’s done at Burnley as well and Bielsa with Leeds. Arguably Howe with Bournemouth as well.
-
Chris Wilder must be waiting for the city job then.
-
You know it, always. Game on record for me to highlight Ings amd Bertrands negative body langue. Lets hope for a win to save your blushes.
-
It’s bizarre that you are so interested, in him being so interested, about you being so bothered 🤔
-
Don’t need to know much about football to see that we’ve lost 2 games 9-0 and have won 2 games in 15. He’s effectively been linked with the job (if you can it that) because of his perceived playing style. Basically because Klopp Is a success, people like Ralph and see him as potentially the next big thing. I’d hazard a guess at that had Ralph not been at RB, he’d in no way have the reputation he does now. Actually watching games rather than reading the athletic And watching YouTube I can tell you he’s tactically naive and far too stubborn, too late to react in game and is reliant on other teams not doing their homework and plan A being a success. Ive seen nothing to suggest he is anywhere near good enough for a job at someone like Bayern.
-
In fairness, you could find Ralph in bed with your missus and you still Wouldn’t blame him. You’d probably tuck him in. Regardless of his application in training, we played a CB in CM over him (who was shite as well btw). We can certainly blame the manager for that one. One thing we don’t know is how he’ll adapt, granted, but surely it’s worth a try.
