Koke Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 Checking the scored this morning, it was a good night for us. A few batterings dished out to teams around us. Only 5 points up to 7th now. Let's have a good end to the season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the merry-go-round bunch he's definitely the most accomplished and seems to specialise in these little firefighting stints. Wouldn't be inspired by any stretch but they'd be in a better position than they are now. Love Claudio but it was never the right appointment, and I think that was quite a big consensus on here. Wouldn't shock me if China is his next move. TBQH I was really surprised didn’t just call it a day after leaving us. Surely couldn’t need the money and had already achieved the very pinnacle of his career. Why not just enjoy retirement with maybe a few guest appearances on tv?

I remember growing up when Derby, Forest, Coventry and Villa were all top flight. There is something special about having regional derbies. I also think it promotes the midlands as a football area. With just us and Wolves up there the midlands doesn't have the same appeal to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s never true apart from a few instances ........ people earning a fortune to tend to spend what they have and whilst there is excess , they then invest that for their kids .......... whilst riyad won’t have enjoyed not playing much, the double size+ salary, working environment and the medals will help .............

Much as people laugh about him, Fat Sam would have sorted out their leaky defense and had them playing ugly, but results would have come. After last night I just can't see Fulham surviving now. In fact I give Huddersfield more chance! Ranieri should never have taken the Fulham job, and Fulham were crazy to go for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments on him are highly critical, and often quite offensive too. Just shows how little difference there is from football fans supporting different teams.

Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 28 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 28 February 2019 People will think I am being overly harsh but there's a certain schadenfreude with Claudio failing at Fulham. Obviously not personal to himself but all the idiots what slated us sacking him. He just doesn't have the ability to arrest a slide down the table and stop the rot. People are seeing what we saw at Fulham - a complete disconnect with the squad and a very few original ideas. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter stages of our title winning season, plus the dire playing style of the 16/17 season unfortunately showed what Claudio was really about. Claudio has shown no signs at Fulham he can change anything. And it's making him look how lucky he was here, having inherited the team Pearson built.

The whole world smiles Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 I'm a massive Claudio fan, he will always be hands down my favourite manager ever but his performance at Fulham has been inexcusable! It's not like they don't have any good players like a huddesfield or Cardiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 There were 27 minutes gone at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night when Kevin De Bruyne, exasperated that Riyad Mahrez had drifted needlessly offside from one of his passes for the second time in quick succession, made no attempt to mask his feelings. Motioning at Mahrez to get his act together with a pronounced shrug of the shoulders and a look that could kill, De Bruyne left City’s record £60 million signing in little doubt that he expected better, much better. De Bruyne’s frustration did not peak there, though, and as the first half drifted to a close with West Ham United standing firm and City struggling for inspiration, Mahrez seemed to have resolved that it was better not to look in the Belgian’s direction, perhaps fearful of the daggers he would be shot. There was a woeful misplaced pass to West Ham’s Michail Antonio, an overhit pass that zoomed right through to Lukasz Fabianski in the visiting team’s goal and another occasion when he overran the ball. Some fans were even shouting for him to be dragged off after half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of it boosting their performance, I'm not sure it will make a difference. Their mistake was to sign too many foreign players and ruin the team spirit that got them promoted in the first place. Of their players that are any good, it's all of the players from last year in Mitrovic, Sessengon, Cairney and Odoi. I don't think any of their new signings really did anything, and they signed too many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
