Match Reaction v Aston Villa

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

I'm not sure about your last sentence, but no matter, I'm more interested in your Klopp point as you are not the first to mention him. I'd far rather have Moyes, but to get him, assuming the Board had the remotest interest than winning off balance sheet, we'd have to move fast before United go in for him.

moyes is a tough one. you need to bring in a manager that suits the style of football you play. for example, mcleish goes villa and sticks 10 men behind the ball, a team well known for its expansive brand of football. it was a recipe for disaster. he wasnt utilising his resources efficiently. hodgson was a conservative manager and went to liverpool, an expansive team once again, and ended up failing. why? because he tried sticking 10 men behind the ball when the players he had at his disposal didnt suit that system.

if we bought in moyes id fear the same would happen here. moyes is all about organisation and conservation, he likes to stick 10 men behind the ball and make you tough to beat. do our players suit that system? would we suit a deep lying formation? the players we have here are suited for an expansive, fast flowing brand of football. with moyes id fear it would be another disaster. spurs fans didnt want him for that reason so im not sure he'd work here.

the thing i would say is moyes has certainly impressed this season. sold rodwell and bought in miralles, pienaar, oviedo and naismith. thats good business. he addressed his weaknesses and made sure to strengthen. also jelavic has arguably been a coup. this season everton have played more expansive football and maybe thats because the players they have in their squad suit that type of football now. its not all about sitting deep, defending and playing boring football. they hit teams on the counter and press them high. ive been very impressed this season so maybe the tide is turning and moyes could do a job here. who knows. i also like the fact his teams would run through a brick wall for him. motivation and organisation are his strongest assets and boy do we need that. he works well on a budget so if given the chance he could do wonders. but it would be a huge risk.

my number 1 is still klopp. he's a mini wenger. he was even talking about how man city have ruined football and that spending should be capped about a month ago. its deja vu with what we've been hearing for the past 5 years here. he turned dortmund into the best attacking team in europe all on a relatively small budget. bayern were the top dogs there but he came in, stuck a middle finger up to them and its safe to say german football is on the rise. id love him here because i like his style of football. i like his character, his philosophy and his attitude. toppling bayern is no easy feat because they're the man united of german football; refs bend over backwards for them and view them as top dogs. but dortmund went in and changed that landscape. i pray he comes here but i know with every season that passes he's likely to get nicked by a top top club. if you've got a spare fiver put it on dortmund winning the champions league. no joke. madrid are beatable this year, barca still good but without pep a little vulnerable. german football is on the rise and dortmund look fucking top dollar. ive never seen man city on the backfoot as i did a couple of weeks back when dortmund went there. surprise package of this year i think. and boy they deserve it.

My eyes!!!! What the fuck was that??!! Bloody awful to watch.

At least we didn't lose.

+1 on Klopp. Best young manager around at the moment and I'd love to see what he could do with more resources here. What he's done in just 4 years is very similar to what Wenger did in his first 4 years with us. Excellent brand of football and I'm sure he's going to manage an elite club within a few years. He'd get the right players in to suit what he wants to play, he'd take one look at Ramsey, Gervinho etc and get rid of them.

Klopp or Pep would be my Wenger replacements but it'll be down the timing. By the time the stubborn fuck calls it a day we'll be lucky to have these names available to us.

It's got to be Klopp.

I'm not convinced about Moyes. I think the step up will be too much for him and he'll be out of his depth.

Does Wenger respect the fans by lying to us at every given opportunity? Making such BS comments such as "4th place is a trophy" which had everyone including every true gooner laughing at the poor deluded fool. He is the poster boy for the greed and BS running through our club and he does it willingly. He cares little for winning. Coquelin on for Giroud when we need a goal pretty much confirms that. Fair enough Giroud is a bit shit but he's more likely to score than the Coq. He shows fans no respect and thus fans have started to show him none. The away fans who for the most part have always backed Wenger have turned and were spot on with what they sung. Wenger leaving will be celebrated by all genuine gooners just as much as winning a league title will be

It'll be Remi Garde. He's Wenger lite

[gooners]

The board sells players over wenger's head? And wenger is just an employee?

good one!

[Cripps_orig]

the board sells players over wenger's head? good one!

Tbf they did buy Park over Wengers head... The Clueless on GW

When boundaries between the Board and manager erode like this, what do you expect. NQ has no respect for the Board but many people see the Board and Wenger as one so Wenger won't be spared from the sort of disrespect PHW, Stan and Gazidis get on here. It's all well and good talking his history and respect but he's very much a part of the system that's robbing the fans. Saying he should be exempt from that is misguided and part of the reason why we're still stuttering. He sells the lie.

anyone 'brave' enough to abuse them on an internet forum would no doubt be scared to death to so in real life. it's just sad.

i'd actually prefer Marcelo Bielsa.
