Cooper Out

Log in to stop seeing adverts

The worrying thing is that there might be two sides shitter than we are but right now I can't see a third. Wolves have had a horrific run of fixtures to start the season but they dispatched Southampton without much of a threat, and Ipswich are getting better game by game. I can see them staying up as they seem to have a bit of quality and a manager who can see where the gaps are.

11 games in with Cooper. Has anyone seen anything to suggest he's getting any better?
 
Potter: Extremely unlikely.
Mourinho: Never happening.
OGS: ??

Not saying I’d welcome him with open arms, would he be an upgrade?

Potter is a far better manager than Cooper.

However, we've offered him the job three times and he's never taken it. WOTS is that he insisted on having his own man for recruitment (i.e. instead of Rudkin) which has scuppered it.

If that’s true, then our club is run by a ****ing moron.

The spoilt child of a self-made man, with a plaything he says he loves but which he doesn't understand.

It's a shame he's not here today, Shakespeare would have written a hell of a tragedy about these modern goings on in King Lear's Castle.
 
Where are the next points coming from then? West Ham? Wolves?

We certainly don't look up to beating anyone genuinely better than us.
 
Could someone please explain to me how the group who brought us Enzo Maresca could think that Cooper would be a suitable replacement.

I was quite excited when we appointed Maresca. I didn't know much about him, but he seemed to be very different to what we were used to. A bold and exciting choice.

Forward 12 months. It reminds me of John Major in the nineties with his "Let's get back to basics" policy and look what happened to him at the next election. Cooper takes us back 20 years. It is as if all the technical and tactical improvements in the last 20 years hadn't happened. It is back to basics with 11 men playing against 11 men and may the better "team" win.

You're mistaken in your belief that there is thought involved in decisions made by LCFC.

We stumble from one philosophy to the next.
 
Cooper was a rock bottom appointment from a club that should've been aiming higher.

Maybe because of the looming FFP penalties that are now off the table.

We need better.

Whether you liked Maresca’s style of play or not, the technical improvement in players last year was obvious to see - control of the ball, first touch, long and short passing, coordinated press when needed, and every player knowing their exact role and where they should be positionally at any point in time in or out of possession

This year we have gone backwards so dramatically it’s almost unbearable. No basic control of the ball, passing the ball repeatedly to opposition players, one player pressing with others stood watching, and players seemingly with no idea of their role or where they should be on the pitch.

It’s been an incredible fall off, even allowing for the higher level of opposition
 
There is literally no style of play any more, just stick 11 players out there and hope for the best whilst relying on 2 strikers with a combined age of ~70.

Chelsea and Enzo will put a sackful past us.

Saturday lunchtime kick offs , have never been favourable for us.
Add that to the Chelsea fire power.

It all sounds like a disaster awaiting to happen.

However, I remember a few years ago, a high scoring, high flying Liverpool coming to the KP to give us a pasting.

With Luke Thomas at left back against TAA and Sallah, there was only going to be one result.

Yep, we won 1-0.

Young Luke had the game of his life [what has happened to him since?? Too much too soon? ]

IIRC we had Big Dan in defence as well.
 
Everyone says our right side is shipping all the goals but Kristiansen seems to be blamed all the time. Don't understand! I know Justin is a shadow of what he used to be.
