It's really strange because I obviously want him to do well for us. He says the right things, really enthusiastic and ambitious. On the other side, I can't stand the thought of those owners being able to give us 'we told you so' when it's obvious to everyone that the 'project' needs tweaking. If they show willingness to change even a little bit I'll happy to get on board, but those stubborn pricks seem like they'll keep with it even if it spites themselves.

This the my position now I want him to succeed but I despise the 🤡 in charge who will have a smug look on their faces telling us “I told you so”

After finding out more about Liam and his dad I am starting to warm to him and his methods (obviously still early days) and I am finding myself rooting for him inspite of the 🤡 running the club.

It also hits a bit different having a black manager being a black man.

I’m a bit confused how he got promoted over others. Doesn't even have his pro badge yet.

BlueCo really are scratching around aren't they ... Jees Louise.

Lovely chap I'm sure, but this is another brainless appointment. Why not bring in someone with huge top level experience for Liam to lean on ? Surely must be somebody better out there ...

Maybe there's a touch of insecurity with LR who knows

Or for balance when he was young and inexperienced someone gave him a chance and he's repeating the favour

Is he mixed race like Lewis Hamilton and Palmer?

Maresca obviously "sacked" because he didn't rotate ENOUGH ... LOL

You couldn't make it up ...

This is exactly why I have no faith in or even respect for Rosenior at the moment.

He took the job knowing that he can't even pick his starting lineups or subs.

No manager with any shred of self respect would agree to this.

He doesn't even care about the potential damage to his reputation, just wants to collect that severance pay in a few months and ride off into the sunset.

It was probably “take the Chelsea job or lose the Strasbourg job”

I'm seeing reports/ comments saying he gets full credit for resurrecting Ben Chilwells career...er I've seen Chilwell play at Strasbourg he alright but a call from TTuchel isn't imminent 😐

I mean you could interpret that different.

A lot better at rotating could very well be making minor changes vs the different back 4 we see every Matchday.

The one thing they should be giving him immense credit for is developing Andrey Santos, but they won't do that as Andrey is in direct competition with Enzo Fernandez and should be playing ahead of him every game.

Technically speaking you could be correct, but then again this is BlueCo we are talking about !

Proof will out over the next few games I guess ... probably see Buonanotte and Gittens getting starts ahead of Palmer "on medical advice to rest Cole" LOL

I think you will find that decision lies with Dr Eghbali 🩺

So Strasbourg were screwed either way.

A manager who believes in himself would have lost the Strasbourg job, still collected some sort of severance and had the admiration of Strasbourg fans forever.

He would have been picked up by another club far from the Blueco cesspit in no time.

Now he's about to piss off two fan bases, and show the whole footballing world that he's the muppet who's ok with being told what to do by some owner who knows nothing about football.

Honestly Andrey Santos and Estevao's heads must be spinning at the moment ... game after game they have to watch dross selected ahead of them, or subbed on for them ...

Remember that period when Enzo was part of the bomb squad early last season? Only played in Conference League matches with Lavia+Caicedo always starting.

Maresca wanted more conteol to try and win.

That's not the job though. Protect players and their values. do as your told . That is the job.

Eghbali knows nothing about football is an accurate comment...

I was watching live on sky sports

And the camera panned to him and LR a few times

When we scored everyone had jumped up ..Eghbali was about 5 seconds behind maybe he was expecting Delap to run into an area or something similar . The bloke is embarrassing.
