Pre Match Ipswich v Leicester

[City Fan]

I find it funny that some vehemently hated our last manager but have picked Cooper as the hill to die on.

One is a fraud who bored me to tears. One isn’t.

 

[Miles Away]

One is an incompetent who can’t get the basics right. One isn’t.

 

[HFox]

Be two down before we get our arse in gear. The defensive organisation is a shambles.

Maresca isn't exactly proving to be a fraud - Chelsea are 5th. That's not a sensible claim.

It’s 9 games. Give it time.

I think, like Pep and Arteta, Maresca will be fine as long as he has a better standard of player than the opposition.

He won't win a Champions League.

Those damn frauds who win leagues in their first season with broken clubs.

****ing useless bastard.

What did he defraud us out of?

If anything he allowed us additional weekend naps

Often, when managers view the proceedings from a different perspective, they see things that weren't as obvious when viewing from their usual perspective. If Cooper sits up in the stands he may well spot some clear issues with our set that he may otherwise have missed.

Or he could just look on this forum?

Whether you think he’s a fraud or not, you can’t argue against the fact he achieved the mandate.
“Get us out of this division"

To win that league with us, and then take a big club like Chelsea, that were in a bit of a disarray, to top 5 [at present], say’s to me, he’s not so much a fraud, but his methods are not liked by some.

He had a plan and stuck to it.
It worked.

The playing out from the back was very much risk and reward, and the end justified the means.

The only downfall of this method, was what went before, when BR tried to get us to play out from the back with no plan, and definitely the wrong players.
This gave many fans the yips, nearly every time we played out from the back under Enzo.

During the games? We're you that bored?

What if it is Cooper who has been the fraud all along instead?

Fortunate win for the U17s and a lucky run for Forest in the Championship when it was full of shite and they were spending as much as anyone else in the league.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

What if neither of them are frauds and it turns out that elite level professional football is actually more complicated to win at than fans think?

I was. My smartwatch reckoned that I nodded off a couple of times.

I don't think either of them are fruads - it's a horrible tagline that is used by 12yr old twitter users who get overly upset when their team doesn't perform.

It was using the ridiculousness of CFs logic to show how ridiculous his assertion is.

So when we go two down we can't even bring on Fatawu to rescue us.

Cracking stuff.

Most football bores me these days but it was more a reference to BN’s similar dislike of many ‘modern’ styles of football. Winning football is, by definition, good football. It would be daft to argue against a bloke who won the league with his only season in charge even if he then did the smart thing for his own career by immediately leaving.
