The Doctor Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 Hodgson was a good club manager, but we're going back five years now and his time with England was full of bizarre selections, square pegs in round holes and an obsession with trying to follow trends from a few years previous that the squads weren't suited for rather than making use of the players at his disposal. No ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuw Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 12 hours ago, Thracian said: One of the problems situation is that there aren't many good managerial options out there for our situation. The good managers are mostly chasing achievements at their current clubs. Furthermore, while people flippantly talk about dropping proven achievers the difficulty remains of having no-one of great calibre to put in their places and the fact that the last thing we need right now is further upheaval. My hope with Shakespeare is that his interim appointment will see last year's players performing at their utmost once again but I'm not at all sure that will be the case because we don't have last season's personnel anymore and I don't think we can match last season's capability with the choices we have now. On top of that is the anti-climax factor. Having won the title and blown everything but our Champions League run this season I'm not convinced last year's players will, or can, simply turn on the gas and become brilliant again. I just hope they can. Having Ulloa and Slimani back will be a plus for all the unfounded criticism of Ulloa but, of our close-season signings I only see N'Didi so far as being genuinely worthy of our squad so anything more that Shakespeare can squeeze out of them will be a bonus. Musa's the one that really gets me. With his turn of pace we need to create some space for him so he stretches defences and creates holes for others to exploit. Trouble is he's as much a liability as an asset because his close control and passing are so erratic. But that's no different to Schlupp and he made a difference at times. And Musa arguably has greater finishing ability so, surely, there's some mileage to be had from the guy despite him being so utterly frustrating and, unlike Schlupp, so easily knocked off the ball. I don't anticipate lots of changes tomorrow. We just don't have the realistic options we should have and that's down to Ranieri however many kind words are written about the guy. Morgan is a proven performer - yes okay - on the talent of Kante making him look at least a half decent defender- he is with out a doubt one of the worst capts and defenders in any league in my view . We can talk to the cows come home abt lack of decent players to replace him as an example and how poor recruitments been - Thats true to a point - but wasnt that part of Claudios downfall the same old same old every week - same comical goals and nothing changed Sometimes in my view you need to take a punt and try something different - anything - because if nothing changes and the back 4 continue to play as they are and continue to let in soft goal after soft goal we will go down. Hopefully they will prove me wrong and the old stagers are truly proven performers as you say and find that magical form from last yr without Kantes coverage for the back 4 . Here's Hoping BTW i re read my original post and i dont say drop players flippantly - i say if the new coach can forge an alternative - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Hoping BTW i re read my original post and i dont say drop players flippantly - i say if the new coach can forge an alternative - As I believe Babs said not too long ago, Morgan and Huth also showed themselves pretty solid campaigners during our great escape, before Kante arrived. I accept they might have lost a bit of sharpness since last season but think their loss of form is more down to the change of refereeing attitudes than anything else. Both were serial grapplers (though more particularly Huth) and I'm not sure they've been able to adjust enough to be as effective in the new world.

em9999 Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I wouldn't want ranieri at arsenal wouldn't trust him on history of his signings, as for Wenger at Leicester. Wenger is no way leaving Arsenal and I can see him here until his dying days..

brucey Posted 26 February 2017 Share Posted 26 February 2017 I imagine our owners would ask Vards and Drinky their opinion on Hodgson if they were considering him, and I don't think the response would be favourable. Especially after the England players went against explicit instructions to take Kane off corners... In light of the 2 recent articles, I think the players will settle for Shakey as the owners will be highly reluctant to get Pearson back and would avoid it if possible.
