I think he doesn’t trust Gallardo and Benezet tactical sense or workrate. Or didn’t, perhaps.

Gotta have game time. It’s just different.

I am starting wonder if Vanney hasn’t decided to leave after the season.

Fair enough. Hard to transition from player to coach - I did it so I know what you mean. As for Nelsen, I think he was a decent coach - very good at defensive organization - but that’s not the point....

Perhaps he should not be a coach. But he had to understand modern training methods given where he came from. It’s a management smokescreen to say he didn’t. Basically, he was not Bez’s guy but they...

I’ve never bought that front office line about Nelsen. He was the Captain of two Premier League teams and of New Zealand, which was undefeated in the World Cup. To suggest that he did not understand...

I think it is quite likely he does the background work. But thats it.

Interesting. I like Carl and thought he was a decent coach- but not at Vanneys level. But he would fairly quickly put a line under the “we are going to play like man city” stuff.

Big name? I think they would struggle at this level. Look how Vanney struggles with weaker players. And Mourinho? Surely you are winding us up.

Very fair take

yes. i agree with that. I also think that there is a problem above him too. Not sure if it is Manning or Curtis.

I dont want Vanney to be fired. I just want him to do better. Subs are an issue but for me it is usually about Vanney taking too long to react and make a change. Sometimes the subs are odd too -...

What’s a “widdle”

I think part of what we are seeing is entirely due to the absence of Seba. We could play this patient possession game, limit chances, and then score. Without Seba, this is hard to make happen. Our...

Yeah, fair enough. Looking for the puff of smoke.

i don’t think they have tuned Vanney out exactly. It’s more like they are scared. I really don’t want him to go, and think the problem is with Manning. But if they don’t get results soon he...

they are playing afraid. Vanney’s press conference was interesting and incisive - about Shaff being isolated for example and changing OSo because he plays more centrally (and because “Pozuelo was...

you are onto something.

I don’t think hat was a sign of anything abnormal. The players need to keep an eye on the pitch in those circumstances. I’m more concerned that when they come out of the locker room at the start of...

If you parse what Manning said recently, they arent going to do that. Poz_ types are the goal, not Gio types.

Totally agree with this. (except the spelling) . (and letting Beita and Hasler go, and to some extent Raheem)

Other than get TFC within inches of winning the CCL...

Vanney gets a pass for last year. The injuries were inevitable. Overuse. And they really caused the slide in league play. This year, no pass....

This is very fair

chapman was on an upward path for the first part of the season, when used properly. Not fair to say he has plateaued. But he is behind Poz Oso and Delgado in the depth chart.

I was one of the people who raised the fact that our injuries are muscular training injuries and this is a constant problem. It’s quite obvious, really.

Last week I went to a training session...
