Sideshow Tim 110 Posted September 21, 2021 Got to say that I don't disagree.  Clueless, weak and devoid of confidence. Farke is quickly proving that he is not cut out at this level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeymarSmith 130 Posted September 21, 2021 I think he is vital to how we play and how we are as a club at present  Careful what you wish for, we could end up with a defensive long ball merchant who yes, may keep us up for a year or two, but the money will talk in the end. Careful what we ish for lads  I'm firmly in the keep DF camp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olano 100 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Dont think we have money to do that. Wasent he aworded a new 4 year contract some weeks agoe? Edited September 21, 2021 by Olano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenfoggo 247 Posted September 21, 2021 Embarrassing. This was a Liverpool reserve side containing three teenagers and they did not even need to get out of second gear to beat a very, very weak Norwich side. So, so poor. Farke seemed pleased though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Farke’s awful at PL level and a defensive manager might keep us up for a bit, but he’s great at Championship level I’d much rather we keep Farke and risk relegation than sack him and risk having another defensive manager  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t see it personally, Farke will have lost the players/fans most likely and Webber too ambitious. There are a few decent managers that could do a job with our team and finances in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we get relegated I can see Farke being kept for one more season to see if he can get us straight back up again. If he fails, I think he will go.

You can’t sack him after promotion and would you want to have him take a third stab at the PL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then you also truely believe that with the replacement we get in - be it someone like pulis or Sam alladyce (picking on them as they are great at saving teams in this league) will be able to compete here with the squad how it is at present (ie set up to play DF way so no good to play a game where we try just constantly cross) Also consider who else you may wish to go and get, like some are saying, people in the champs would do a job - yeah like who?

But genuinely, through enjoyment of watching his side's, and what he has already done in a relatively small amount of time and budget, I think it would be a massive mistake to fire DF.

kenfoggo 247 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Farke has to sharpen up pretty quickly. His preferred method of play is not effective against Premier standard teams. Not even close as proven against a Liverpool reserve side on Tuesday night. Constantly passing square or turning and passing backwards is also not even attractive to watch. Sitting quietly on the bench looking bemused and bewildered is also not generating any passion on the field or in the stands. Something has to change. We are out of the League Cup and unless the Premiership form is turned around this season for Norwich will be over before October starts. Some improvement, any improvement, must be seen at Everton (who were beaten last night by a Championship side) or the clamour for someone to take this squad by the scruff of it’s neck and shake it awake and into a Premiership side will be undeniable. As we were so universally poor in all aspects of the game against Liverpool reserves it would be unfair to point accusations at individual players, they were all poor. But the defence and their leader need to get organised and do the basic stuff, like professional players. Otherwise our proud Club will become a laughing stock, a joke, a throwaway punchline ; if it is not already. Edited September 22, 2021 by kenfoggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
