Absolute choker because he's looked sharp, fit and lean over the last set of games.
Maybe we will see others step up Madsen/Vale - or an opportunity for Alemayehu to start playing a role... |

Totally agree.
Look, it feels terrible to be critical after a win - which we would have probably given away last season - but Saito should have been subbed, the 4 changes lost our balance and we sat far too deep in the second half. I would have understood those changes had we scored the third, but as you say, we were hanging on at the end.
I'm hoping he was saving specific players for the game saturday, which will probably be our biggest challenge this season, but we need to kill games off and keep on the front foot.
We did however look very good for long periods of the game.... Roll on Saturday... |

Can honestly say that in 60 years of watching football, I've can't remember ever seeing a goalkeeper quite like him. He adds another dimension - I mean, pep obviously brought this ball playing keeper stuff to the UK, but this is something else completely - he moves us forward quicker, picks out precise long balls and gives the back four complete confidence to bring him into play. Oh, and on top of this he can actually use his hands too....
totally unique .... |

Maybe this is the reason we got his brother on loan - they could be sharing property and keeping each other company.... |

Pretty much agree on most of this.
Burrell looked a bit out of sorts on the right.
Thought Vale had a poor game - especially his dead balls and shooting.
Varane and Alfie looked decent when they came on - I think Alfie is unpredictable both to the opposition and himself at times...
We deserved more from the game, we were the better side and there were plenty of positives.
If we can keep this lot free of injuries and have the additions of Lamptey and Kamara, there is the basis of a really good side.... |

I think in this context he means an absolute arsehole....
Funnily enough, I'm with you on the confusion, a girlfriend called me an absolute weapon the other day and when i explained it felt quite harsh, she was like 'its a compliment'
I don't know..... life can be confusing..... |

I'd add Bristol City to that list.... they have made some decent signings - I suppose it will rest on how their new manager settles in..... |

Look, I'm no fan of Celar, the bloke frustrated the hell out of me on a regular basis but ' never the right fit for the team' on what basis is this statement?
He came to us from Lugano and had a 1 in 2 goal ratio..... his movement in footage looked decent, and he showed that he could finish.
It never worked out with us for various reasons as have been outlined, but saying he was never the right fit is nonsense.... on that basis Burrell would never have been signed.
Just glad he's off the books and someone else's problem. |

Still sulking but have had the opportunity to think about the situation in more detail. Some great posts on here btw.
My thoughts are this - Tuchel was brought in to make big decisions, in big games. Southgate was seriously criticised for bottling it in exactly those moments. For Tuchel has failed on the big stage, with the best opportunity we have had in 40 years.
I would change him now so that the new manager has a full run up for the Euros, which should we qualify, are in 2 years time, also preparing for the next world cup in 2030.
also think it should be an English/British manager. His post match interview last night was indicative of someone that was emotionless to the passion and pain that those young players carried on their shoulders. If you look at the top four managers in the world cup, each one are from their respective countries, so they know and feel the emotions involved in representing their nation's national team. i also don't hold with the excuse that managers have to have won everything at club level - De la Feunte only managed at Bilbao and Espanyol, Scaloni was only the assistant at Sevilla.... It's only in England that we struggle with national identity due to the obvious reasons.
We also need the FA to decide what they want England to be. Identify a style, manner and method that suits our football and work towards teaching that method all the way down to grass roots football in schools. That is why Spain have succeeded. they have invested heavily from top to tail football methodology. Their manager was primed and identified way back when they decided that Bosque
was asked to step down. He's not a superstar, has not managed team football at a very high level, but understands what the method and style is that the nation expects.
Seriously peeved with the situation... we have so much talent but the squad never reflected the best of England. Change after the losers final on saturday please.... [Post edited 16 Jul 13:08]

Not my words, but sums it up completely......
When Tuchel took over as England manager, he was direct about what he saw in Southgate’s teams during their run to the Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 finals. Speaking ahead of his first match in charge, he said he wanted the team playing with a “hunger to win” rather than “a fear to lose.”
His specific criticism: watching the Euros, he felt tension and pressure weighing on the players, who were playing not to lose rather than to win. He wanted a shift toward excitement and hunger, with acceptance that failure is simply part of football.
Asked more pointedly whether England had a clear identity or playing style at the Euros, his response was blunt: “Not last summer, no.” He said what was missing was “the identity, the clarity, the rhythm, the freedom of players, the hunger.”
And what does he do?? exactly the fcking same thing ...... feel your pain Sevenhoop.... |

Relatively comfortable with this - for reasons as mentioned previously, stability, 2nd season, knows the players etc...
However I do hope that they are already identifying a successor should the the inevitable happen - we are either terrible and a change is needed, or if we are very successful and predators come offering beaucoup d'argent.... |

Interesting piece that. Hadn't realised that he had previously been at Man City before.
Going to be an odd scenario having two No 1's at QPR - I wonder how they will manage the situation? Obviously great to have the choice, but I wonder who will get the preference... |
