A lot of rubbish about how Tuchel is a good appointment as he got the best out of Kane, Kane scored so many goals cause he was playing for the top goalscorers in Germany and the weaker teams are generally less competitive in Germany. Kanes just been hammered for his performance in the Euros in...

Nobody really, just pretty disappointing that a German manager that isn't even considered the best German manager is a better pedigree than all the english managers we have to offer. Appears to be very little thought put into this appointment, suppose the FAs plans were scuppered by the Greece...

A pretty uninspiring appointment

So what's happening with this appointment? Is it dead, are we still recruiting for the position?

Bellingham was definitely not a number 10, Rice was an anchor and it was Mount/Henderson and Bellingham playing as two box to box to midfielders in a midfield 3. Go look at the goals I mentioned v Senegal and you will see they came from Bellingham starting from central midfield and breaking...

Go watch goals 1 and 2 of England v Senegal in the World Cup, it's play like that that made Bellingham one of the best young players in the world and earned his move to Real Madrid. Not pratting about 20 yards away from goal, receiving the ball in tight areas and trying to do something...

Rice and Bellingham were great at the 2022 World Cup playing as central midfielders in a three man midfield so not sure what you on about it wouldn't work. Wasn't a success in the end at that tournament but arguably the best we've looked under Southgate and an unfortunate loss to France, miles...

Lol, get out of jail card and they still fucked it

Not sure that's fair, he's suffered due to playing a number of different roles and people expecting him to be the player he was for the first 6 months at Real Madrid now all the time. To me at Dortmund he was a box to box midfielder, joined Madrid and played as a false 9 and started amazing...

FA going to have to actually appoint a manager now

Viveash was on the training ground coaching every day though with the players in his academy role? From what I can see Ramsey hasn't been a hands on coach since 2015?

No idea. First impressions, he's a knowledgeable and well respected guy but not sure he has the drive, determination and intensity to drive training and coaching sessions days after day over a season. Comes across as he's been happy in his back seat technical role at QPR for the last 8 years...

Makes zero sense to force an assistant manager on Robins that he doesn't want unless King really doesn't want Robins at the club. Bit of a shambles really from sacking the assistant manager day before pre season, advertising for a new assistant manager and then deciding against it and then...

Championship relegation fodder then, really not much difference. They were a league one club which should have reflected in the transfer value.

Pretty much

Not sure why Sheaf was heralded as the saviour, he's never been that sort of player. He was a great compliment to Hamer in the middle but Sheaf has always seemed better in the supporting act role rather than the main man. More of a Michael Carrick type than a Gerrard

He looked like he was protecting his injury to me, did think with his ankle maybe he should have sat out this one as they we know they are very physical side. But because of our piss poor recruitment in the centre there was no other option other than Torp and Andrews

Absolute shite, makes you wonder what's happening in training every day. Whole squad and coaching staff just turn up and go through the motions it looks like from what we are seeing on the pitch

Surely if a couple of them show some real aggression and fight it rubs off on the rest of the squad, if the captain and manager led by example of showing the aggression we want in the squad the rest will follow to a point. (At least more than they are showing now)

Not sure where we go from here, I think Robins knows we aren't good enough in key areas but he can't come out and say yea Doug fucked the recruitment up and left us short.
