Possession doesn’t really matter as we know from your boy’s reign of terror . At least juric has finally tried something else now and its the best fit for the players we have at our disposal

Been saying for a while the 4231 is the way to go for us. It gives more cover to the defence stops us getting overrun in midfield and allows us to field the likes of sulemana fernandes and dibling in their best positions and to get more space for them with fast counter attacks .. It’s a step in the right direction for juric this week .Could probably be tweaked better by having Aribo and les instead of smallbone even though he scored., and Paul up top can hold up balls he shouldn’t and be a asset in this style he said he would adapt this week and he did so thumbs up for that .. now stick to it when we play lesser teams then Liverpool and results will come

Anyone have a stream ? please pretty please 🙏

Looks like a 4231 with dibling Fernandes grobbaek Sully cant complain about this. It’s the formation most of us wanted .. I’m guessing downes is stropping again hence not being on the bench

But why should he be punished for the players acting like self entitled pricks ? They where shit under martin and now they are still shit so maybe it’s the ones who are not trying who should be fucked off instead of the manager ? we might well be slagging off rohl right now if he took the mission impossible on in December instead of juric

Must say I’m feeling really sorry for juric watching that press conference and the way some of the fans are turning on him.he seems a lovely guy and I’d love him to turn it around and keep the job .gotta remember we was utterly shit before and it’s a lot more Martin and wilcoxes decisions that put us in this position then juric . he hasn’t done himself any favours with the formation, man markings and playing out of position cbs.. but I’d say there have been improvements in attack and he’s certainly gotten sulemana and Paul looking decent again, they would be more likely to stay in the championship under juric I feel .. Personally I feel he could still a good job championship it’s a huge step down and if martin can get us promoted with passing out from the back and bazunu in goal I can’t see why Ivan couldn’t.’my worry with him would be can he cut it at premiership level? as so far the trial hasn’t worked out .. but maybe it could if he gets recruitment to suit and players that buy in to his ways ?

And Jones revived a shit Luton team. McKenna took Ipswich up two leagues yet both flopped in the prem . I don’t really get the hype with rohl.. part of me would prefer juric over rohl as juric sounds like he wants to build something with us .. Rohl on the other hand has that kind of profile that if he does half decent he will get poached this is a bit of a issue with the upcoming manager types

My argument is it’s gonna be harder to attract premiership quality players when we are in the championship . for example I doubt we are gonna be throwing around 15-20 on strikers .. so it’s probably better to try keep hold of rhe 15-20m attackers we have the likes of paul sully AA archer are gonna be top players at this level .. there’s no guarantee that the players we sign will step up a level as we saw with ThB and downes we ended up spending a big chunk of our budget on those two and they where signed when Wilcox was here

Exactly this .. we have a strong championship side that’s been proven .. not sure why everyone is shitting their knickers just because the strong championship players are getting found out at premiership level .. the likes of archer onuachu Armstrong will score a shit ton in the championship AA and archer are proven and they ain’t even good enough to start for us atm

I totally disagree with those saying we need a mass clearout the gap between premiership and championship is huge as you can see by Leicester and Ipswich also being shit.. all three of us very strong last season if we keep most of the squad together most of our players are really strong for championship level and even Martin managed to get promoted with bazunu in goal to add to that what is the point in having a huge revamp n the championship when we will not be able to attract the players we would if in the premiership . Meaning they could end up like downes and Thb or worse again when we get promoted .. surely makes more sense to keep a very championship proven team together and keep our powder mainly dry for when we go up that’s when we need the clear out

Yet on pages 4 and 5 you was absolutely creaming over him sorry but it just seems mad to me when peoples opinion changes so much on a guy we have hardly seen Abk under Ralph was up with lavia as our top prospects and didn’t receive a Germany call up by accident for me he’s kinda in the same bracket as sully and alcaraz russ didn’t like them and pretty much fucked their chances at saints there is a top player in there though

The walking dead would probably do a better job in defense then our lot

One centre back and smallbine in midfield tactical genius 😂😂😂

My problem with B is if you just wed yourself to one continuous system over a long period it becomes predictable and other sides can figure you out eventually .. for me I’d rather we just get someone who is tactically flexible . This sticking to one system shit is getting really tiresome now we should be aiming to be able to adapt to other teams and ideas when it’s not working

Yup . It’s just totally bizarre that you would play one proper centre back .. and then you have the two man midfield with only one of them being anything close to defensive .. absolutely dumb 4231 is such a blatant obvious system for us but no one plays it

So in the press conference he’s now saying he’s not sure he does wanna change and is still gonna play three at the back 😒. That’s pretty much him done then he’s not gonna change just like russ .. why is it so hard to just get a manager who can be flexible and isn’t wedded to one system ?

I see dragon pretty much as a backseat owner a bit like Markus was the main difference is Markus had a absolute gem in cortese overseeing everything so he didn’t have to ., whilst solak has had idiots like Ankerson and Kraft and is now having to step in himself as for open cheque books it isn’t like cortese was spending more then Sr anyway. What he did well aas to put excellent people in positions like Mitchell, adkins pochettino.. he wouldn’t tolerate failure which is why we had a great recruitment period and we where always on the upwards trajectory

Point is cortese is the perfect person to let run the club .. solak wouldn’t have to lift a finger if he had him in charge just like Markus didn’t. Pinning all our hopes on spors who probably won’t even stay two seasons seems a reach It’s hard to compare roles like for like as cortese was super hands on and was dictating everything whilst other executive chairman might be the opposite .,

What I find crazy is when cortese was in charge there was and still is a big portion of people who didn’t like him ., well he was quite the opposite of sports republic the way they get every big decision wrong he got every one right . if you really wanted someone who could run the club and might actually stay I’d take him over this johannes spors all day long .. I noticed spors has had a plethora of clubs and doesn’t usually stick around for more then a couple of years.. I can see this going the same way as shields and Wilcox especially as he’s already been linked with bigger clubs like spurs and Newcastle . Wishfull thinking on the cortese stuff but he was amazing for us and I’d piggy back him here

Any streams ?

Any streams please ?

I take it fernandes is part of the two man midfield ?worrying part is we have one proper centre back .. attack looks fine and I think fernandes is better in the middle but preferably in a 3

Seems like there was a big mates thing going on with russ I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the ones he alienated Are not english,charly,sulemana onuachu,Abk Les to a degree this season we are seeing for ourselves now that they are better then many of his mates that got the nod instead

Seems a bit disrespectful to juric that players like dibling and ramsdale have recently been coming out with comments praising RM. We know downes is stropping and someone mentioned THB too .. I’m not usually one to judge what happens behind the scenes but makes you wonder if some of the players are making juric life more difficult

Think it would be a idiot move to tear up the squad in the summer. for example letting AA Go to a championship rival when he’s prolific there would be really dumb so we probably will lol.. most of our players are gonna be strong championship players we dont need that much surgery .. maybe get a couple of midfielders that suit juric more and rest is good to go
