raumdeuter:
What is raumdeuter argument? That Pep will teach EPL football and he did with aplomb

All the previous myths about EPL he destroyed back to back
You said “The EPL is a local league and Pep has left it for Conte and Raineri to win”.

This was in response to why Pep went trophyless in his first season.

So now why should they praise Pep for winning the local league or is he a local champion?

This is why I never take their arguments seriously.

The same people who clearly wanted Liverpool to win the local league to mock Pep have now turned around to ditch it and ask for something else.
Pep has been the best manager in the league in the past 2 season and I don’t think anyone can deny that.

The thing is, you are getting drawn into a raumdueter argument. They are using his amala turning stick to pay him back in kind.

While I have no problem with more ex players being involved, they should not appoint ex player as a DoF.

I'm waiting for someone to mention a bigger character than her, only aegon the conqueror can compare



Arya? Coward that can only kill in the shadows, use face or poison, no title besides, coming in from the back to face the night king like a coward that she is, Dany faced the night king from the front


Sansa, asides helping in the BOB, she is the most useless character, Gilly's baby is more useful than her

They've been rushing things since Season 6 and done away with the classic GOT pacing that made us love the series in the first place.


They even had the guts to make my ever-careful and tactful Varys, uncharacteristically, rush up those letters, when he could have just waited till the end of the war to do so. The Spider survived Aerys, Robert and Joeffrey, why falter nowhuh
I agree with this. They shouldn’t have made Varys go out like that. He’s the best spymaster in all of the seven kingdom ffs. They didn’t give his character the ending it deserve.

My own problem is why the Golden Company was hyped so much. Honestly, even Manchester United's defence this season is infinitely better than that pathetic nonsense they put up at the gates.
How do you stop a Dragon coming with fire behind you? It’s not like it’s a fair combat, Drogon made them burnt offerings.

What should he do when Lukaku runs around for ten minutes and starts panting like he just ran a marathon? Should OGS run into the pitch and inject him with steroids?

Did you not notice how Klopp fazed out players like Lallana and Co to bring in guys like Mane that can keep up the level of pressure he wants?

Btw, these players have been coached for almost three years on defensive tactics, and you suddenly want them to switch to attacking tactics asap.. It just won't work. There were concerns here and even arguments about fatigue bla bla bla during the winning streak, and how it will weigh on them eventually. Well, here it is.
You know the funniest thing is that the same excuse you are using for OGS would actually be made for Mou. Mou came second in the league with these same squad bar Fred, No?

At the bolded, I think I have debunked that severally already. Apart from the big games against top 6 opponents, We do not park the bus during Mou’s time so that actually doesn’t hold water.

I remember when we were arguing about players not good enough under Mou and someone was telling why our players can’t score, pass to their teammates successfully and the likes and he was asking me what Mou was teaching them in training. It is the job of the manager to improve his players, motivate them and get the best out of them. Lukaku has actually played less game under OGS so that excuse doesn’t hold.

Maybe you are watching another team but we are still doing “defensive tactics” as you called it.

Apart from OGS, his critics have been shouting 'Poch' since... Truth be told, Levy won't let Poch go as easily as everyone here keeps mentioning his name. This isn't a football manager game, it's real life ffs.

If Poch was going to get hired miraculously, that would certainly be at the end of the season, not mid-season.

And OGS performed well before getting the job, which makes me believe that he should be given the chance to build his squad.... Every coach that has been mentioned here, from Pep to Klopp to Poch all had a squad overhaul after they arrived the club, Klopp and Poch haven't even won stuff since they came, so if folks believe so much in them despite not winning any trophy, why is the case different with OGS?

Klopp's Liverpool bottled almost a 10-point lead over Man City, and started playing catch-up and hoping for some miracles which never happened. No one is talking about that.

Pochettino lost seven of his last ten league matches and even drew today, but no one is talking about that. The same critics who are giving excuses about injuries causing those losses have suddenly forgotten that Manchester United also had an injury crisis before this bad run.
I think everyone has their preferred manager in mind but there’s no guarantee that one will perform better than the other. I don’t think I have ever advocated for Poch here.

My grouse with OGS is that I believe by now we should know the way he wants to set up his team, not just by saying it but seeing it on the pitch of play. All these talk about the United way yen yen yen is bullshit until we see what you are trying to implement on the pitch. In Pep first season, everyone would see the way Pep wants his team to play, you would see it on the pitch. No matter how terrible his players were in those first season, he still stick to how he want to them to play and his football philosophy. Everyone can see it on the pitch.

OGS has always said he wants his team to be the most hardworking team in the league but we are not seeing it. We press for 5 mins and thats it. We revert back to the park the bus counter attacking style and he just sit down there looking like Dundee Utd. If your players are not playing to your instructions you need to be on the touch line barking instructions to them. All these talk about him getting his own players before we see how he will set up is team is bullshit.

He’s the manager and the way the players play is his responsibility.

Before he was made permanent, about 95%.

But now, on a scale of 0 to 100, about 60% confident.
Fair enough.

Nope. I would not have. Which is why part of me wanted that announcement to be done at the end of the season

But u need to understand, i am not campaigning for OGS here. Only trying to show a recurring trend of how we always go a couple of games playing well and beating everybody, only for our form to drop and we start losing again. Was the same under Mourinho.

Mourinho definitely deserved to get sacked. But OGS or not, even Poch and Pep and Klopp would struggle with these weak minded players.
Yes, we know we need to get rid of deadwood in the team. The question is, how confident are you on OGS leading the rebuilding process.

That’s the question on almost everyone lip.

Considering Martial got a 284% increase in wages, 25% is still reasonable for someone like De Gea.

But if they give him at this point, it will just give all those useless boys like Rashford an incentive to ask for ridiculous wages beyond what they deserve.

If the club makes a stand regarding wages with fan favorites like De Gea and Herrera, even to the point that they leave the club for free, then the rest will either sit up or gedifok.
I think that’s why they extend the contract for one year to give them a chance to do negotiate better. We will see what they will do.

So are u saying the club should keep overpaying these players? At some point it has to stop.

Martial collecting 250k is no justification that someone else should also start collecting his own 250k
No. In fact I’m an advocate of slashing their salaries in half but DDG is one of the best in his position in the world and mostly when negotiating new contract, most player ask for improved contract, in this case, he’s asking for a 25% increment.

If they can’t come to an agreement, then he will leave. It’s as simple as that. Soldier go, Soldier come, barrack go remain.

You see that DDG is not even among the top earners sef. If they can give that useless Martial 250k and Shaw 195k then there’s nothing stopping them from giving DDG 250k.
