Are you implying it is Cocu's fault he has gone off the boil?

Why does Cocu tinker so much? As someone else posted why after Norwich game play Knight wide? I'm just wondering as I did last season how much good all his tinkering does.

More tinkering? You're doing your usual thing of changing the argument again Roy. I produced actual evidence to counter a sweeping (and incorrect) statement that we've "always been terrible under Cocu" (even WITH Lawrence, Waghorn, etc) People can ignore a 17 game stretch that had us 1st in the form table all they like but it's more relevant than an 11 game run with a depleted squad when judging the performance of a manager. I get that it doesn't suit those who want to spout a particular rhetoric but hey ho, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 First 10 league games - any manager should get that as a bare minimum. 10 games - Xmas - show improvement, tactics, win a few, demonstrate progress. Xmas - end of season - get in and around top 10, have some good games, clear sign of THE PLAN If he doesn't meet those milestones, there are questions to be answered, however none of that matters if we can't afford to sack him and there is nobody better to come in. Evaluate after game 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t about any sort of vendetta. It’s about seeing “our” Club be successful and competing at the level the Club should be competing at. There’s no divine right in football but things are not right. Ok we’re in transition but many of us don’t see any kind of positive progression in either performances or results and projecting forward none seems to be on the horizon.

FFS It's a discussion about the Clubs manager. Don't you get that? I'm still not convinced that even with players fit Cocu will know what to do with them. I'm not convinced a.n.other manager couldn't have 'spotted' Sibley, Bird and Knight. I've been reminded about his penchant for tinkering. And (crazily) the Rooney covid-19 episode made me remember a thread from (start?) last season postulating whether Cocu was a 'lucky manager'.
