All that happened is Delia got more millions and Webber wasted most of it. Were you in the dressing room then? How do you know? Just a polite ask 🙂 And if Liverpool and Man City had bang average players and not Salah, Foden and others then Klopp and Pep would be failures.

Now that's an interesting statement, as you seem to be implying that the manager's set up of the players and tactical instruction to the players has no impact on the performance of the team, but simply chucking a couple of good players in there will make everything work. If that's the case, why do you even care about who the manager is if they're so irrelevant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,219 Posted May 17, 2022 I can't get over it, because Farke wasn't the problem and the problem is still present. That's like your car isn't working because the engine has gone, and changing a headlight and expecting it to work well again. Until the problem is addressed, it is still a problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case, why do you even care about who the manager is if they're so irrelevant? You’re spot on. It really is that simple in the championship, if you have one or two stand-out players (usually a playmaker and/or a striker) then you’re pretty much guaranteed top 6. How bad Farke performed in the premier league is proof of this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How bad Farke performed in the premier league is proof of this. Not sure I agree with that, poor recruitment is the main reason Farke performed badly this season as Smith has had the same issues. We went into the season having not replaced our attacking threat, and not replaced our defensive anchor and as a result surprisingly enough we haven't scored enough goals, and have conceded too many. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue that Farke is the engine, the headlights are CEO & Chairperson. Our problem this season is that the headlights have been nicked, the engine has been changed but the steering wheel is in the hands of a twokker! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
