Herein lies my feelings thus far. I don't see that he has the rocket up the arse mentality.
Cuddly managers like Klopp, Guardiola and to a degree Askou, have plenty of bite under the surface.
Arteta, O'Neill, McInnes have some quite aggressive attitudes.
We've got a Gray/Goodwin....and that will inevitably fail imo.
Why can't you predict anything negative? I've no need to have a long hard look at myself.
I've not seen anyone who wants the manager removed at this juncture and nor should we be even entertaining this.
However, my prediction is that he won't cut it, for a number of factors I have seen so far.
We need to give him some time to figure out if my gut feeling comes correct.
We are so slow at getting the ball up to strikers that every time it's 3 taking on 10.
If you have someone like Maswanhise in the team, get it into his feet when it's 1 on 1.
Said is facing similar difficulties.
Really tough. I love Priestman I think he's going to be fantastic.
But Hodge could be really great too.
So um.
Paulsen
Koutroumbis
JKL
Moorman
Longelo
Priestman
Hodge
Fadinger
Lowry
Maswanhise
Kanga
Lowry playing a Just role.......false 9 would be the only way to do it because Maswanhise can't play as a central striker
Williams, Thor, Said, JGR, Charles Cook would be 5 great subs
There is always constructive points that need to be raised that may sound negative about specific factors.
A bit like Grizzly I stay on the positive side of things and I've raised hundreds of positive comments before.
I'd like to raise a couple of points - that I think went wrong yesterday.
I believe after the St Mirren game - and the managers emphasis after the game about chasing goals led to us pulling back a bit yesterday on risk appetite.
Playing out of the back is fine when you break the ball to Watt (last season) or Priestman to then push it forward to the next line of attack.
There is far less point in it when you break the press and don't get it moving forward quickly enough.
We can play 30+ perfect passes to face 8 v 10 in the opposition box.
The reward is to break the press and use our pace otherwise we hold onto possession as a relief but our likelihood of getting chances is far less great. This was a big fault yesterday.
I think the forum allows especially after a defeat to analyse what I think we can do better.
The first two for me haven't had enough proper gametime.
I think big Eythor deserves a chance to play over 90 mins, we need to add a little physicality to that area
