Royal Rother It seems a bit obvious but Amorim has to go.


No, please keep him. :wink:


Well yes, there is that.

But it’d be funny to see another hapless sod come in and fail in the basket case.

We bring a manager in who plays a certain way with a 3-4-3 formation. We don't have the players for it, especially in midfield and wing-back positions. So we either stick with a traditional four at the back or address it in the transfer window

...nah, fcuk that, let's bring in two number 10s and move the league's best* (GAA) number ten to run a two-man midfield. Suppose there was a prem 5-a-side league that could only be made up of #no. tens we'd batter everyone. Amad, Bruno, Cunha, Mbuemo, Mount, Zirksee, we could have a fcuking sub <SMH>. Make it make sense!

Dorgu has been hung out to dry. He'd be a good prospect at LB, a 20-year-old kid with a potentially high ceiling. He's not a wing-back, especially in a totally dysfunctional team

I've cut it short to be polite, but I really could go on with all the problems. Anyone thinking it's just the manager needs to have a hard think

Football is a simple game played often and managed by fairly simple people.
Goalkeepers are goal keepers
Full backs are full backs
Midfielders are midfielders
Wingers are wingers
Strikers are strikers
Some players are capable of playing in different positions

Systems vary between about 3 different ways of playing and a manager is there to tell them where to play.
This stuff about having to play a certain system because the manager likes to play that way is just nonsense.
Wingers can drop back to help the defence, a midfielder can drop deeper to help the centre-backs and even at the lowest levels players can do that during a game using what football intelligence they have and don't need a manager to tell them that they should be doing it-by then it is probably too late.

So please, let's hear less about managers only playing in a certain way and players only being able to do one job-it's rubbish.
