They are a tiny club, I used to follow them because they had an American (Alejandro bedoya) playing for them. 9th, they finished 7th the season before he took over so he took them backwards in fact.

Bailey Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I see it going 2 ways. 1. Nothing really changes because as Romey says he isnt a particularly great manager and they go down. 2. He could tighten up their defence being a defensive coach when he was at Leicester plus his Italian roots and make them hard to beat. If he did that they they have plenty of attacking talent to win them some games against the odds. I dont know how the other sides he managed have played but if he could stop them leaking goals left right and centre then given how bad some of the other teams around them are, he could get them out of it.

Thanks mike. He had them 3rd at one point, seems the wheels came off later on. Regardless his defensive first approach could benefit them. Pulis did decently for a long time with that mentality.

Pulisic is the only one who looks capable of creating anything at the moment. I take solace in the fact that it's a very young squad with not a lot of experience. We're severely lacking in the striker and left-back department too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably didn't watch it but there was a late video decision in the last two England rugby union games and I would argue one was wrong and the other was debatable but what it did do was taint the conclusion of the games especially as the two decisions were marginal to say the least. Based on what we saw in the WC I have no faith in the referees reviewing the game and coming to the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that the big club bias makes people think it will magically go away, but the fact is humans are infallible and make mistakes. adrenaline pumping heat is the moment decision are no different. i wish they kept it as is and just hired better referees from abroad.
