No More inverted fullbacks!!!

God I hope so. Its just such a cowardly, sh*t house tactic, all about not losing control of games, just forget about attack.

And it doesn't even bloody work.

Back 3, wingbacks and inside forwards.

Going to be big sam, 442 have it.

Liam Rosenior's style is a high energy, possession based approach focused on pressing, turnovers, and quickly transitioning to attack with pace and precision, often using short passess to draw opponents.

Are we just ignoring the bit that says high energy and quick transitions to attack with pace?

How many actually good and experienced managers are going to want to come here with this current set up?

It's career suicide. Rinse and repeat.

What a clown show this is. It is not even about Maresca or his tactics or whatever, we've gone back to 10 years ago when Guardiola rejected us on the basis of being a club that has no patience and has a "hiring and firing culture".

Of course no decent manager is going to want to work with this board unless they come just for one reason alone and that is making a fortune in a very short time and then f**k off to a serious club and do their job and not ask the permission of all the directors and all these individual medical departments on what players to use and what players not to use.

Rosenior has a similar playing style to Maresca, but has even less experience as a manager.

Guess you’ve not watched much Strasbourg then

I got kicked out of a non league game he was managing in for calling him "a poisonous little dwarf c**t" or words to that effect many years ago.....

You're being unfair to Maresca as I thought we were a very complex side also playing starved striker, lonesome DM, overcrowded by his own defenders GK, paceless winger CM and so on...

Yep. Got Postecoglu vibes already and he's not even appointed yet.

Sssshhhh, don’t give them any more daft ideas!

Similar thing said about Bozo Maresca

, aggressive counter-pressing, and exploiting space through third-man runs and quick transitions to create vertical attacks,

Nothing like that from the few games that I've watched tbh

4 managers gone in less than 4 years. Potter seemed to be the only one who didn’t majorly clash with them .

Cause he was the biggest Yes-man of the bunch!

Love Super Frank but I really hope they're not tempted by his Chelsea Legend status. This lot of clowns seem to be able to royally f*ck decent managers. You only have to look at Potter. Did well with Swansea and Brighton. Comes to the Bridge, fails and has to leave the country!! Stick with Coventry Frank

Tell us because Google AI treats him as a Maresca 2.0 😂

Wow, can't wait for Rosinier to improve our recent form.

So Maresca was apparently sacked Reason 1 for results, and we are going to turn to Rosenior, whose last 6 games in Ligue 1 are :

And an alternative is Iraola :

What am I missing here LOL

Let's look at style of play :

Boxes ticked in both cases for Rotation and inability to protect a lead !

I'd say Iraola probably shades the head-to-head though on the additional set piece weakness, and Aggressive style to keep the card count healthy

Get it done Behdad !

Although Maresca had to go I don’t really get what we gain from sacking him without having someone else lined up.

Obviously nailed on for the job.

I knew that he is a Deadman walking but I don't expect Maresca to be gone in Jan

I TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED HE WOULD BE GONE BY CHRISTMAS, I MISSED IT BY 7 DAYS

Rosenior is an upgrade on Maresca and would at least have us playing entertaining football getting the best out of the likes of A. Santos.

Can hopefully bring Barca with him.

Having said that I don’t really mind who our next manager is, so long as he plays Palmer on the right.

Have a feeling Barco is too small for the PL, same as Gilmour was. Noteworthy that Brighton got rid of both of them ...

I dont care which manager we get, I just want someone who can do basic sh*t such as defending and not getting touch line bans
