Archers Road Stand Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 Selles better not be our manager next year in the Championship. Clearly part of the problem playing League One shite like Ely-no-use-i once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 I suppose you could say at least this team has won and scored in the premier league before so fuck it I am onboard. Will rain goals and conte gets sacked after this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcaraz and Sulemana have seemed like two of our only players capable of creating some sort of moment in recent times. Going to be a hell of a lot of sideways passing and struggling to make a final pass, when we do actually have the ball that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he wasn’t playing, taking the kids out would be the better option. Far more fulfilling.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 We’ve seen this experiment enough now to be able to read this logic and deduce from it that Selles is not good enough, sadly. I don’t think Elyounoussi has “made a penetration” all season. At least we have Mara and Armstrong to come on at the 60th! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Last 15km should be during half time but I am less enthused by the football, hopefully the two players who have looked like creating/scoring will be on the pitch second half.

Saint Keef Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 I just checked. When we beat them 3-2 at their place last season - Ely scored one and also got an assist. Unfortunately the same check revealed.....no surprise here.....that Beds scored an own goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 We spent £60m to try and strengthen the team and Elyonoussie, Adams and Walcott is the answer. I'm afraid Selles is the academic side of football he sees a load of meaningless bollocks that results in running up the white flag again today. We need a manager that sees football in simple common sense terms. It is a simple game. With a few exceptions e.g. Guardiola, coaches overcomplicate and rarely make successful managers. It has the look of a clusterfuck today. It'll either be a lacklustre display and a possible hammering or a crap Spurs display and a lucky result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 Maybe that's our problem. A player finds themselves in a great position to score but is thinking, what zone is this again? Am I penetrating or blocking? Hmm. Chance gone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that says all you need to know about our recruitment success. It’s an absolute joke. We had the chance to strengthen and buy players who would help us avoid the drop and apparently none of them are good enough! It’s a double whammy as not only do we seemingly have players they don’t fancy, but we’re back to the position of a bloated and expensive squad. All the years where we couldn’t invest cos we had a string of expensive flops on the books, and we’re gonna be back there again. The team we are fielding today is 100% championship, with the exception of 4 players 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 Give me fuckin strength - Ely and Walcott shouldn’t be in the squad let alone the starting lineup. It’s quite clear that Selles has been a big part of the problems over the past 18 months 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 I coach U14s and tell them basically that "it's a simple game, why overcomplicate it?". We set up to pass and move when in attack, we don't need step overs or trying to dribble through the oppo, support each other and get as many shots on goal as possible. Defending is safety first, keep our shape, clear it or look to pass to open players, if unsure just kick it out and we regroup back into position. Simple as fuck but really effective. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc4prem Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 Just hoping we give it our all. Can't see it being too hard for Spurs to slice us open, though. It's just resting on whether Kane and Co. have their shooting boots on. We don't have any shooting boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 The problem all the time with us is that the coach decides on a shape for the day. He then picks his flavour of the day eleven and tells them the shape they are supposed to play. We should be picking the best players for back, middle and front and putting them out in their natural shape. Anything else is flawed and won't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 18 March, 2023 Share Posted 18 March, 2023 (edited) Biggest difference for me in our great escape squads and this one is the demeanor of the squad. The escape teams had an intensity and focus about them, no smiles just determination. They looked gutted when results didn't go our way. Contrast that with Smiley Selles and our current crop. They look like they don't have a care in the world. So disconnected. At the end of games they are all smiles and chatty with the oppo. WTF?! I'd be fucking devastated and already planning how to fix it and up the performance. Not this lot, off to post on tiktok and give a soundbite that they don't even believe in. All smiles in training. It's weird. Edited 18 March, 2023 by OttawaSaint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
