Danny Murphy MOTD

[I Ronic]

We have players new to a system, others new to the club and a talented man as our manager.
When or if it clicks we will be watching a team that will be a joy to watch.
If it doesn't, and we continue to play as we do then it's still going to be entertaining..
Im not worried yet.

Honest question. Really, I'm not being facetious. But where does this "talented man as our manager" narrative come from? Can you point to any success he has had in his short managerial career? On what basis do you make the judgement that he is talented? Does managing Real for 4 months automatically make him talented? And before that he was only with the Madrid academy for 7 months? I don't understand why so many on this board think he's this tactical genius or something. There's no evidence of it.

Well he's a talented footballer who played at the highest level (the highest).
He was successful with the R'Madrid youngsters,in fact so good they let him have a go at the main gig. So yes he is talented where football is concerned.

How do you quantify that he was successful with the Madrid youngsters? He was in that job for a heartbeat. Florentino Perez clearly rates him, but that has nothing to do with us. And we shouldn't be basing managerial appointments on which of his former Madrid players Perez is fond of.

I would question if you ever watch the Madrid academy or U21's
so seriously doubt you are in no position to judge his performance. Just accept he is talented unless of course you are a better judge of the man's credentials than Perez.

Haha thank you for the condescending personal attack/response 

It wasn't meant to be. Just an obvious observation.

Well I'm a Fulham fan and quite frankly I don't care who Florentino Perez rates. Why do I need to accept that he is a talent on the basis of his relationship with the Madrid chairman? Utter nonsense.

Last Season Marco's record was 15W 7D 16L with the team he built over the period he was here.
I'd argue that in all fairness you've got to allow AA two or three months to get the existing, new players and the coaching staff all to understand the plan.
What's your alternative?

Danny Murphy had such success in his
 coaching/ managerial career with uh!
nobody.

Apologies in advance for the rant

So my thoughts on this I have no football credentials other than being a fan

We panicked with the appointment of AA due to our lack of planning and not realising Marco was off when most of us could all see what was happening


Ultimately that's where this all stems from in my opinion a complete lack of understanding and foresight from our board. It is wilful ignorance and negligence end of don't care what arguments people put forward so the board must take a huge portion of the criticism

While I agree we needed a change no due diligence appeared to have been done so
we then appoint a novice because he's been associated with RM (so he must be good yeah)

We signed a few players to appease him and make him think he's at home  but again lacked any foresight by panicking and leaving crucial positions needing to be filled on deadline day This left is  with no RB to play in AA's system a disgruntled Kenny Tete who when fit any manager should get into this team and we sign a CB not many of us have heard of or even linked with until hours before the window closed. Add in no RW and it was a poor transfer window if we are being honest. And that is without the LDF debacle why is he in the MLS and not at a championship/L1/ European club on loan. That would have been so much better for him same with Zepa who is still here

AAs tactics so far are not suited to the PL and comments in press conferences don't show any signs of him wanting to change his approach

SM posts from players don't look good especially with his track record of losing the dressing room at Madrid

It all adds up to a complete lack of confidence in what is going on at all levels in the club

3 games is a nonsense to be talking about sacking a manager but I've no confidence it will change it looks like he's completely out of his depth with a board who are equally incompetent

Unless there are changes I can't see anything other than that we go down with him in charge

If Eddie Howe wants to come here I'd swap him right now to at least give us a fighting chance

However can't see it happening until it's too late

A very good analysis from Danny.
A few tweaks and our defence will be alright.
Embarrassing all the booing.
We are Fulham .Let's stick with the team.
And get behind the manager.
Check it out.

Did Danny suggest what tweaks were needed in our defense?

Yes , video analysis showed hoe are defence was left in no mans land
for all 3 goals and the disallowed one .
43% of their attacks came dowwn the left hanside.Players too far up the pitch.

spot on that ,watched it at the game and on FFCTV several times since and the players were responsible as they are not up to it.
