It would be interesting to see how Guardiola would get on at a lesser team. Whether he could adapt his approach to suit poorer quality players.

 

Of course it'll never happen because why the fuck would he bother?

It would be interesting, we've kind of seen how Klopp would fair in the Championship with lesser players via Wagner. Benitez' pragmatic style delivered in the Championship when the standard of our players were higher than much of the league, but without the quality for the Premier League he's struggling.

I suppose the elite pragmatists like Rafa would be better suited to teams lower down the ranks in comparison to the likes of Pep who demand a certain quality in possession that you probably wouldn't find outside the very best teams.

 

Look at Klopp, supposedly one of the top table managers but without individually gifted defenders he can't seem to set up a balanced team to save his life.

Klavan.

 

Pub team at best.

[Ayatollah Hermione 12733]

Lovren is worse. What a complete fanny he is.

[Andrew 4182]

Imagine a klopp team with some of the defences we've put together in the past.

 

Perch, Colo, Williamson, Taylor.

Just on this point, are we all happy to say we've got by far the worst strikeforce in the division? Brighton have Gross, Murray, Hemed. Depoitre, Mounie and even Mooy have stepped up with goals for Huddersfield. Stoke are probably the only team I could put at our level with Diouf, a misfiring Berahinho and Crouch, but they've got Shaqiri. Even Swansea have Abraham and Bony.

I'd rate Crouch over any of our lot to be honest.

 

Huddersfield's strikers aren't great to be honest.

Williamson in his prime would get a game for us now.

Agree with that, I'd put him in ahead of Kone

Swansea become the latest team to sack their manager

[Kid Dynamite 5877]

There's not many teams left in as poor form as us now. Another 2-3 games and we may be cut adrift

[ewerk 26118]

Third December in a row they’ve done it. Becoming a slightly less shit Sunderland.

[StoneColdStephenIreland 74]

Not sure what they expected getting rid of Sigurdsson and Llorente for Clucas and Bony.

[ewerk 26118]

Gwan Bristol City!

To be fair, I think only Martial and Pogba are getting in the first XI out of those, and Pogba's playing because he's been suspended for a couple of weeks. Was still a strong team like, and amazing result for Bristol.

[strawb 3648]

Swansea have appointed Leon Britton..

 

Thats one less relegation spot to worry about 

[PaddockLad 14487]

Brittons in charge for the game at the weekend. They want Frank de Boer
