Rob Edwards - the prodigal son returns

Amazing what a win and some sunshine does to a man!
Luckily Liverpool will slam that mood twice next week and the Jinks we all know and love will be back
 
I've a fair few worries about edwards.
He's a Jeff shi appointment. Jeff shi made terrible decisions constantly. Massive red flag.
Worried about his nous, know how & ability to out wit other managers.
Very concerned we have no discernable style of play, & sometimes am uncertain what formation we're playing tbh.
Unsure he has really addressed our lack of creativity & goal scoring threat.
Some batshit selections.

That said, he has galvanised a squad that was pretty broken tbh. There is at least fight & pride.
We're harder to score against in the main.
Significantly for me, the past 2 or 3 home games we have been a much better team in the 2nd half. I'll accept the 1st half performances have been poor, but he has made positive changes.

I lean more towards get rid at the end of the season, but he should be doing everything to prove he's worth giving a chance.
This is where I am
 
The appointment of Rui Pedro Silva, a key figure under Nuno Espírito Santo, to Edwards’s staff has also had a positive effect in strengthening relationships within the squad.

See, its all down to Rui...
 
Formerly of that parish Henry Winter absolutely raved about GON. Couldn’t believe he was for the tin tack. And it wasn’t like they were pals or remotely close. Which I mention just to underline how badly wrong serious journalists can be - as if it needed underlining.
GON fooled the world.

Unless you were a Wolves fan, he was the British Carlo Ancelotti.

GON was actually talked about for the England and Man Utd jobs, get your head around that….

If that’s not the power of the media, nothing is.
 
I agree with you Nic, but there was a period where we looked good under GON which did too much heavy lifting.

Also the VAR narrative (which was accurate, we had unbelievable decisions go against him) helped him too.

His agent fed a few lines to friendly sources and Shi bought it hook, line and sinker and gave him that new contract. That’s what it was all about really. If you looked at the betting for the jobs then you'd have seen that he didn’t have a cat in hells chance of getting either.
 
Based just on results he seems to be doing pretty well at Strasbourg. Kept the prolific Munetsi quiet yesterday.

The Utd one was such a weak link as well.
All around Dan Ashworth visiting Compton or something.

Liverpool was because someone involved in the process of replacing Klopp had employed GoN at Bournemouth.

GoN was royally screwed by Wolves but he lost the plot and had zero professional pride when he accepted to be the caretaker manager whilst we searched for someone to replace him.
In that period he lost all grip on the discipline at the club.
 
3 wins and 4 draws in the last 7 in all competitions, so I guess it depends how you want to spin it
