Or is the key metric being how good a yes man he is?

Feels that way.

He’s the worst manager we’ve had in my lifetime.

From his post-match conference:

"We would have won 4-0 had the crowd sung the Willian song for 90 minutes"

Reports I've seen are suggesting the attendance was so low (29,027) due to concerns about potential problems from the Legia fans. Hence their allocation was cut and there was an increase in the number of stewards required, taking up even more places. It didn't stop the Legia fans bringing hundreds of flares into the ground though did it ?

Sure

What ever happened to that inspirational rugby coach we hired too? Seems like he has made zero impact.

Why the negativity, perhaps it worked for the catering staff!

Don't like that Maresca gets any credit for the win today but the team winning always goes above my agenda, buzzing with it.

This will only boost his ego and he'll think he made the difference. Usless twat.

The result makes zero difference to the situation, it was a terrible performance and in line with our current form. It was a smash and grab.

We won’t win vs Everton, unless the team choose to ignore Maresca’s tactics.

The results means he’s hanging around for another season at least. Its annoying because I want to win but if he keeps getting the players the bail him out he’s not going anywhere.

I think the inspirational rugby coach worked out just fine. All these fckers do is go sideways now anyway.

Still not convinced even though I don’t put all the blame on him, as I think the owners and directors are just as much to blame for the recruitment.

We need experience in both players and a manager that is proven to win things

These two are finding their feet in the Premier League. According to these stats this expensive duo is not the problem.

Enzo was pre-directors buy, probably the only one that worked out, Caicedo was bought with the directors at helm.

AGREED AND IM 63

HERES AN IDEA - LEICESTER ARE EXPECTED TO FIRE THEIR MANAGER, SEND MARESCA BACK THERE WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS, YESTERDAYS RESULT WAS A FLUKE

SO CARDIFF SACKED THEIR MANAGER AFTER HE CALLED THEIR FANS CLUELESS, MARESCA STILL HERE AFTER HE CALLED OUT THE FANS, REECE JAMES AND COLE PALMER

Is this over the entire season so far? Enzo has only really been good this since the turn of the year so find it hard to believe he is rated higher than Caicedo.

Given that the whole team and tactics seem to have been built around trying to make Fernandez (and Cucurella) look decent this season, at the expense of just about every other player in the squad, probably not a great surprise that Enzo has just enough goals and assists to impress the Sofascore rating algorithm ...

On the eye test he continues to disappoint, especially for the price paid, but even if he'd been £50m cheaper I'd still be feeling a bit flat about him ...

Yep, recruitment has been very narrow minded by only buying young inexperienced players.

As well as the rigid risk free slow football we play for virtually the first 80 minutes of every match I’m not sure Maresca has the winners mentality we need.

I still haven’t forgiven him for saying we ain’t in a title race when we were 2nd in the league.

Of course I’m not saying he should have been brash and boastful but there was so many other things he could have said “one game at a time”, “see where we are in April” etc…

The kind of answers any savvy manager would have said back in December.

He’s meant to motivate players and that statement was literally the start of our decline this season.

Well that's f**king it then, some random tweet from Rising Stars.

Only thing that'll save Maresca is the players own pride as shown yesterday. Until George pulled us back level we didnt look like scoring and we an aweful watch.

We need someone to finish the chances. Enzo's fine.

Had nkunku been on the bench would George have been brought on? I don't bel

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Stats based football is one of the downfalls of the premier league as a specticle. Players are terrified to take risks, lose possession because of the stats. 2 centre half’s with 1000 passes and 100% completion knocking it 10 yards square, modern managers and their tactics and VAR have turned the premier league from a fast paced end to end game into a snooze fest half the time.

I think I’m getting old.
