Fair points in there. Also what's the point of Ralf making us play differently only for it to change in the next few months with a new manager? I've not seen a manager change a teams style of play in 6 months. Would’ve thought the point might be to win games. The likes of Conte and Turtle went in and changed the respective club’s style of play in about six days. They weren’t the right fit though. We do things differently. 😇 |

Managers can change things from day 1. It doesn't always happen but equally it doesn't always take 6 months or more to implement a style and see changes. When Poch went to Southampton they went from run of the mill stragglers to playing exciting, adventurous football overnight. And they shot up the table as a result. He didn't need half the season to get his changes to work. Anyone old enough to remember when Bobby Robson went to Newcastle; they were bottom of the league and an absolute mess under Gullit, the instant he walked through the door there was a massive change and improvement. These weren't just new manager bounces either as both clubs stayed improved under them long after any new manager buzz had worn off. Something is wrong with the world if a top manager can't get a tune out of De Gea, Varane, Bruno, Pogba, Greenwood, Rashford, Ronaldo, Cavani, Sancho, Donny. Not saying the team or squad is perfect but there is very clear talent sitting there. I'd agree with all of that except Ralf Rangnick is not a top manager! |

I think that's his point but it's not that simple because most of the top coaches are employed already. It's also worth repeating this for the 100th time. He wasn't hired as a long term coach. We all know this, he negotiated a consultancy role with the club long term. I think they've underestimated how little the players care about the future because most want to win yesterday especially the best players. |

I just seen that since we were fucking battered by Watford, they have lost 7 games and drawn one! Everyone fancies a game against this lot
