SaintMB Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 Fingers crossed they make a move. I'm pretty sure we can't do worse in the second half of the season than keeping MoPe in place. He's totally lost the plot with the team setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 They must have read Instant Classics’ letter. Tbf if it's "something big" I would hope it's more than that. I assume sacking MP is now a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza82 Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 Judging on how animated Pellegrino was in the 2nd half, more than he has since he has been here, I reckon he was told he needed to win that game no excuses! Which makes his team selection very strange. I just hope the club have someone lined up Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes his team selection very strange. I just hope the club have someone lined up Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk You can see what MP was doing with that team selection, in particular, the midfield. At home, there's less need to set up defensively against a side like Huddersfield. Davis and Lemina are a bit more forward looking than Romeu and PEH. Playing them gave us a bit more threat from CM without sacrificing our shape. Of course, one could quibble whether MP should have just started the best players at his disposal, regardless of the opponent or have been bolder by playing a second striker. But there was a clear rationale to MP's team selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 23 December, 2017 Share Posted 23 December, 2017 He's go tot be gone. We've won 1 in 10 against poorest side in the league at the time. Scraped the other 3 wins against really poor sides and failed to beat many poor sides at home. Worse than Puel. A lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, one could quibble whether MP should have just started the best players at his disposal, regardless of the opponent or have been bolder by playing a second striker. But there was a clear rationale to MP's team selection. Except it wasn't working. The central midfield had big holes that any half decent manager would have noticed and plugged. It was crying out for Hoj to add his skills and Redmond to be swapped for Boufal because we needed to press home our advantage and take the game away. But once again MP couldn't see that and doesn't have the balls to put the game out of reach. Rather, he resorts to caution and we end up conceding again. It's pathetic really. It was so blindingly obvious to most of the stadium but not the one that matters. We needed three points here as you don't get anything for narrow losses against the big teams. MP seems to think you do. He has to go - and should have gone four weeks ago really. We're dicing with death even more now.
