Convict Colony

No one should expect to lose to certain teams.

The question I want to know is if xG's stats are better than MLG's stats ? Who is the most trustworthy source :-)

Huddersfield/Man U/Spurs and Palace next after Chelsea. If we get 2 wins from that I would be impressed, am feeling negative about today and I'm a happy clapper, I see no logical spot to replace a manager as well (if we even have one lined up) when you have 5 games in 17 days. We better pray for a xmas miracle otherwise the slippery slope of relegation beckons.

Sun Tzu knew what was up "Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient strength;*attacking, a superabundance of strength."

I laugh that even in victory the manager never looks happy, it was like getting blood from a stone him praising any of the players today in the interview with Saints tv.

I think we need to change the formation for a few games to see where we are weak as I don't think this get the ball, turn around slowly and pass it back to where it came from is a true reflection of how we can play and who needs to be replaced.

Based on my dutch colleagues and mates they rated Bosz. Based on this article he fits the bill, bought Ziyech and shout out to Frank De Boer for being the dutch Pelligrino in this article. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/24/ajax-johan-cruyff-peter-bosz-europa-league "Frank de Boer, Ajax won four successive Dutch titles but, so devout was his attachment to his mentor Louis van Gaal’s principles of possession and patient buildup, the team sometimes took 20 minutes to manage a shot on goal."

Who is currently viewed as the best championship manager?

I wonder if Coleman is regretting jumping to Sunderland so quickly, he could of been in contention for WBA I reckon

knowing our luck we would get ventura the now sacked italy boss

just cr*p, this and puel is making me more and more consider to stop watching, all I want is hope that we could win but not scoring erases any hope the best we can ever hope for is a draw. I have been more used to us being crap than good but we always had le tis so we always had hope. I think Monk nailed it on a few weeks back regarding the recyling possession and try and have a shot from the top of the box may of work in la liga to an extent but here it is a slow death

Was it Higgins

I lied to myself earlier and am watching this game, I predict 4-0 Liverpool and Pellegrino saying how well we played.

Our best hope for a goal is the Liverpool defenders and goalie

Would be funnier if it was a man tho [emoji41]

Chris "I did **** at Fulham, left sociedad and got sacked at Coventry" Coleman. For Wales he relied a lot on Bale dragging them to results. I will be impressed if he starts next season as the Sunderland manager.

After watching all the matches and being bored rigid by our style I'm gonna miss the game out of choice today. I thought about it last night and he reminds me of Graham Taylor when in charge of eng when he kept picking Carlton Palmer ahead of better flair players. The current system does not work and inhibits scoring, if he finally gives 3 at the back a try we may have better luck and a better system for our players. Good luck tho and hopefully I come on here and eat humble pie or take credit for a positive result.

Watford just rejected approach from everton for silva

If we score 10 goals in the next 10 games I will eat my pants.

I would suggest we find the best manager employed or not who plays attacking pressing football and sets up his team to try to win not to not lose. Who out there can do this is the million dollar question. I believe Tuchel has been given the nod and is off to Arsenal next year.

I think most attackers struggle to breakdown the opposition when the speed at what we play at would enable an OAP to get back in time.

yeah it seemed to be a more politically correct driven list

Pelligrino wasn't even rated in the top 50 coaches in the world last jan, although a couple of people on that list no longer look good, cough cough koeman, mark sampson !! https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/fourfourtwos-50-best-football-managers-world-2017
