I disagree, for me we lost the qpr game because of player complacency rather than managerial blame. After the QPR red card they thought the game was won, let’s be fair I think the majority of us did. I still believe that if it remained 11 v 11, we would have won that game as QPR would have continued to attack and meant there would be more space for us to exploit. Lampard set up our team like QPR did against us , being very pragmatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JfR Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I'll be furious if it turns out our new former Barcelona player manager from a country we haven't had one from before turns out to not be Phillip Cocu, but Mark Hughes instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't need to be so aggressive and attacking when we had another 30 mins. We were playing like we were 1-0 down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That maybe true (I would have gone with the same starting X1 as SM as it happens) but that doesn't alter the point that I made in terms of the whole season......

We battered QPR for about 90 minutes - can't really say he picked the wrong team there. We shouldn't have committed so many players forward at the end as it left us very vulnerable to a counter atttack. 3 minutes ago, Shuff264 said: We lost QPR because Mac was too intent on winning in 90 minutes.

Millenniumram Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Might finally have something official on this later then, excellent. Least we have a manager for the training camp, would have been disaster if the players were still on their own there. Sounds like he’s gonna have the biggest budget in a while too... exciting times, let’s hope he spends it wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I reckon Van Ginkel will be announced today too. Just had a look at his Instagram and two Derby players (Cole & Mount) are following him! It's all coming together nicely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretDave Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thank you Mel. We're so, so lucky to have an amazing chairman like him. He's handled the manager situation with class and we now have a world class manager in charge. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 So if Cocu joins today he's got : 6 days until the first pre season friendly in Florida 24 days until the last pre season friendly at Rangers 32 days until the first League fixture at Huddersfield 35 days until the transfer window shuts at 5pm on 8th August & just 79 days until we've played our 8th league game against Huddersfield, Swansea, Stoke, Bristol City, WBA, Brentford, Cardiff & Leeds Find a home, bring his family over, get to know the area & the DCFC staff & players, embed his tactics etc etc 1 day to work out if Richard Keogh is really that scary & whether Chris Martin is the new messiah That's one hell of a tough ask so we've got to keep off his back whilst he settles in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any mention of "Cocu out" should be taken as a reference to coitus interruptus with a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
