I can't take much more of this clown.
He’s shot to bits.
Is this a wind up or did he actually say that?
I might have missed a bit but that was how he opened his post match chat on Sky yes.Quote:

It was something like: "We started well and the game plan worked for 28 minutes until they scored."Quote:

He's a melon. The game plan wasn't working because they scored while the said game plan was being implemented. His head has truly gone. **** me.Quote:

Feck me.
Hes bonkers isnt he.?
" I was running across busy roads, blindfolded. I was hit by a truck on the fourth attempt. Up until then, my system was working" Seriously. just go for your own self worth, Mick.
One day we'll have a manager that has another plan for when the original plan only "works" for 28 minutes.
He's shit..Quote:

If you game plan or ambition is to play 5 CBs, two as wing backs, then their is something fundamentally wrong.
It was his plan that invited pressure and put 7 players on the 18 yard box. He's ****ing mental.Quote:

Keep it at nil nil for as long as possible.Quote:

Crowd the penalty area, Boot it as far as you can. Repeat.Quote:

That set up and tactics was 1980s rubbish..
To not have to think too much. It is Sunday after all. Everyone's had a long week.Quote:

He's footballs equivalent of the last Japanese soldier who refused to surrender some 20 years after the war had finished, waiting for a general to turn up in order to relieve him of his duties. Maybe Mehmet can call in Big Ron to give Mick the sad news.Quote:

You could say that about every football match that ever took place "everything was fine until they scored". That's this answer. The guy doesn't give sh1t.
We played 442 in the 80sQuote:

They should have had a pen in the 3rd minute.
Feckin gameplan working the daft tw@t.
I can't remember exactly what he said when asked how he would turn it around for Fulham, but it was something along the lines of 'same again.... funny old game football.... you never know.... we are bound to win some time....'.Quote:

He's pinching Jimmy Greaves Catchphrase. That's enough reason to sack him.Quote:

Be a nice few beers down by the Thames pre game I suppose. Some bright spark moved the game to the same night at Chelsea-Malmo though so maybe not as relaxed as first thought.
Maybe I put those particular words in his mouth - but I think I got the sentiment right.Quote:

"I am bitterly disappointed. It was the same at Blackburn when we had our chances. We had two great chances today and we have got to be better in both boxes, that's for sure. The [first] goal we concede - just giving the ball away we did was disappointing.
"They are a good footballing team and once they go 1-0 in front we have got to go and chase it and got opened up. I am really disappointed in the end.
"I always expect them to give everything, which they do. It's difficult when you are on a run like we are, all of a sudden it doesn't look cohesive and sometimes you get opened up.
"The game-plan worked well at the start, but once we conceded it was disappointing from there on. They give everything they have got, the players, but I would just like us to be better of course."
🤦*♂️🤦*♂️🤦*♂️
What game was he watching
That is putting it mildly.Quote:

So we play 9-1Quote:

Far too vulnerable.
