Is Bruno Lage A Good Manager Or Should He Go?

[Deutsch Wolf]

Or you can coach nothing, as we never have any discernible game plan other than 'pick good players'.

It's opinions isn't it. My opinion is different from the majority on here and on SM. Who's to say who's opinion is right or wrong? The team is totally different from last season, it's also a totally different formation too. I'm happy to give them more than 4 games to show what they can do. It seems on here lots aren't. That is the opinion thing again. I certainly can see that a lot of the problems on the pitch stem from forward players making wrong decisions at crucial times. Apart from the Hwang sub i'm not blaming Bruno for players making the wrong choice when you have 3 on 3 on goal.

I agree. The front three continuously took the wrong option. Having said that they are too far apart which is down to the manager/formation. The front three don't 'press' quickly enough or as a team either. Big mistake sending Silva out on loan for the season imo.

Edited for you.

Probably best to ask them. You can coach any formation you want but the final decision rests with a player making the right pass when they are in a position to do so.

It also comes from proper coaching, and rehearsing various scenarios (vs actual defenders rather than the dummies he seems so fond on).

Even the disallowed goal - and yes it worked out in that it went in - but we were three on one, and tbh all three of them could have put themselves in better positions to make the pass easier. As it turns out the pass was delayed, then overhit, but we got away with it.

You don't have to write 'imo' after your posts on a forum mate, it kind of goes without saying

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

My opinion based on watching all 42 of Bruno Lage's league games in charge of Wolves, yes.

It's like watching Citizen Kane on a shit, half broken portable that's 50 yards away.

Sa, Kilman, Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Jimenez, Neto, Podence, Traore, Hwang, RAN were all here last season it’s not a completely new team at all it just has some editions.

Agree with this in the sea of negativity. Also we are 4 games in to a 38 game season. I have a little more patience than most folk here, and way more patience than the state that Twitter is in.

And 3 of these games are what we would class as our more winnable games yet we lie 2nd from bottom with just 2 points and 2 goals despite having a team packed with top international footballers. On this form, god help us with the games we have coming up after the next couple. As for that chump Hwang...

Hwang and Lage have no business operating at the level we are supposedly at

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I trust that we all saw him this morning set his own generous deadline of mid-November before we look any good.

No worries mate, that's only 16 games in. Lose all the fucking time until then, and we'll start judging you afterwards. Only fair what with your brilliant CV covering er, virtually nothing, how could we not have faith?

 

[Wilf Wolf]

We win the next two by hook or by crook and then we lose loads of games again and sack hilm before the WC. Just like when MM stole a win against Sunderland and he clung on to the Albion game.

The writing is on the wall. He stays the whole season and we finish 14th. Great.

The comeback for a draw against Swansea was MM’s saviour. When he stayed in post I knew relegation was almost inevitable.

Leon Britton getting subbed off was the only reason we came back then, too!

Swansea without an away win, in fact without a point away, 3-1 up with 80 minutes gone. Probably Sam Vokes best 10 minutes in a Wolves shirt. If ever a point papered over cracks that was it, though today runs it close.

Smacks of someone out their depth trying to buy time. Hopefully they've seen what any sane person can and he's gone tomorrow.

Fuck me, what is your obsession with opinions? They don't need to clarify its their opinion, we're on a forum. It doesn't work without them IMHO.

Lage at 20/1.

That feels like good value

Gerrard is a dead man walking, a bit funny the media obsession with him has died down now.

Unlikely the way Leicester and Villa are going.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Lose on

Unlikely the way Leicester and Villa are going.

Wednesday and it should be game over for Lage. In fact it should have been in May and again tonight.

He needs to go. We are wasting a season, potentially our final one with Neves and a single one of Nunes, with this joker.

I fully expect us to be on less than 7 points now after 10 games. We will be bottom 3, if not bottom, and will be scrapping all season. He should have gone in the summer, he needs to go now.

Brighton are the perfect comparison. We've both played a sky 6 side away, both played Newcastle and Leeds. They've had West Ham away as well, and we had Fulham home. They're on 10 points, we are on 2. Our squad and individual players are better than theirs. The manager is the difference.

That and they have been playing and training in their system for 3 seasons. As pointed out earlier Brighton went something like 14 games without a win and have hovered above the relegation zone quite often. They also struggled to score goals regularly.
