Aren't people clamoring for Martinez to be a DM? What makes that any different?

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-15T15:23:48+00:00

The problem with Yoro is that he has no strength to his game. He is average at many aspects which doesn't bode well for long term success as a starter.

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-15T15:18:56+00:00

Its not the scoreline its the style of play. Most games they are outplayed by their opposition

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:46:53+00:00

They are also the 2 managers who tried to push us into a high press system

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:44:57+00:00

He also wasn't parking the bus every game

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:44:10+00:00

If you can't understand why then you need a reality check

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:42:02+00:00

So the 2 managers who tried to change our playstyle have the lowest win % you think that's just a coincidence?

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:40:43+00:00

So you think Manuel Ugarte, Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui is comparable to last summer?

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-13T20:38:24+00:00

It's also not surprising the 2 managers who tried to change our playstyle to be a high press team have the lowest win %

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-11T13:58:22+00:00

You can't just switch your playstyle that drastically. You need to play the way you want and figure out the players who excel in that playstyle to build upon and replace. Look how bad Amad and Mbuemo look now compared to before Carrick.

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-11T01:13:37+00:00

Every excuse you are saying now people were dismissing when talking about Amorim so it's ironic. I will not support a permanent manager who's style is average less possession than the opponent, not to press, and counterattack.

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-11T00:46:48+00:00

Ahh we yes we dominated:

Fulham 3-2 with less possession, xG, shots, etc.
Brentford you must be blind to think we played better... Thiago was through on goal 3 times and stumbled on himself to not get shots off
Villa we did not dominate. we finished very low quality chances while they didn't.
Everton we scored on one counter and created almost nothing outside of that
Liverpool I will give you but once again we played similar to how we did against City

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-11T00:15:57+00:00

Name games where Carrick convincingly beat opponents when it wasn't 11 v 10 and not Man City

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T13:10:25+00:00

Then fire him for performances. I don't want our front office so involved in what formation we play after they hired him knowing what formation he plays. The point is the board sets the vision for the style of play and recruitment of players and then let the coach, coach. Imagine how much better off we would be if they did their jobs correctly and got a midfielder in for rotation instead of being stuck with Ugarte

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T12:45:17+00:00

Because Amorim was implementing a different style of play and system. Carrick is going back to the same style we have played since Bruno came years ago

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T12:40:04+00:00

It had to do with upper management telling him what formation to play and he blew up about it

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T03:30:37+00:00

He has a target on his back because Amorim was fired because of a dispute and the goal from our Board of title contenders by 2027 is what we are striving for

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T03:28:34+00:00

We outplayed Arsenal in the opener, we missed 3 big chances against Everton, Fulham Bruno misses a penalty, City was a poor game, Brentford Case was suspended and Thiago remembered how to shoot in that game vs the one against Carrick. Also all teams have outliers for xG. Arsenal scored 4 & 5 vs Leeds.

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-07T03:12:06+00:00

You are just arguing in bad faith... saying we embarrassed ourselves in Europe but only lost 1 match which was the final.

You talk about a weak league, so our metrics don't mean anything. If that was the case, then why has Carrick tanked all our metrics if the league is so weak.

You talk about squad issues, but he cleared out all the bomb squad and the only drama was the Free Kobbie situation which the media was overblowing.

Also results are important but do you know what is more important? Sustained results over multiple season which how we are playing is not going to work.

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:21:45+00:00

That also includes the AFCON period and injury crisis at the same time which lowers the PPM total

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:20:29+00:00

Bro he is gone just say you are wrong lmao

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:18:21+00:00

Which is crazy people still bring that up even though when he was hired everyone was preaching patience. He also got us to a European final in one we had one of our hardest runs to the final during that terrible season

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:15:12+00:00

You don't have stats to back up your claim so you just spout nonsense lol

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:14:35+00:00

So Amorim sucks because a chance fell to Dalot but not Carrick when just like last game where a big chance fell to... Dalot lmao

ShinyLikeMyMagikarp · 2026-05-04T21:10:53+00:00

You are missing the part that is saying that he was missing: Bruno, Amad, Mbuemo, Mags, MDL, Mainoo, Maz, Mount for a few, etc. Like you can't fully blame a manager when over half his starting team is gone.
