 So let's switch it up and talk about obviously they were playing man city. So let's switch it to the top of the table man city went top of the league by Cry we're not grinding a win out because the stats Don't reflect the grinding out win at all. They won one nil The second game is won one nil in the second game And which is a bit bit weak at both games are very very comfortable in like loads of possession I've loads of shots, but only one one nil and I just wonder whether that was a little bit of fatigue They've got a three week this week now So Your man, or maybe it's I mean the manager would never send the team out and say, you know be a little bit more reserved but they've won two games one one nil they've But they've dominated the games and at the weekend They've absolutely battered them Bailey haven't had a shit but both have another shot on target They've another shot or don't think never mind on target. It was something like eighty four record It's like eighty four percent percent Before we talk about before we talk about man city. Yeah Eddie how right let's talk about him because He's being linked with the Everton job. He's been linked with England job. He's been linked with a lot of jobs What what I mean? You know, what does this say about him because a lot of people love to talk about Bormouth and talk about how They play great football and You get loads out of them and they never change the way they play and you know, we seem to be fair a Month ago. We seem to be Chelsea four nil Down at the fatality No, no, but what I mean is is that that you know Can there be question marks over someone like Eddie how because In game because of games like this or do you just have to take the rough with the smooth while he's at a club like born or as he spends Enough money now just for people to be questioning if you're a bomber fan of you question them It's a that's a really difficult question Because I am not a bomber fan. No, I know I'm B the Maradi 12th or something the 12th the play 29. Yeah, they've won 10. Yeah drone for yeah lost 15. Okay, so minus 15 like so where they are in the league safe the safe and he get 11,000 fans They are what they are. They're a nice football team when it works and the wide open So the setup to be destroyed by top teams because he hasn't bought a decent centre off in all of his time Then he's had a lot of money to spend not he hasn't had ridiculous amounts of money Don't get me wrong, but they keep going to live a pool and pay in stupid money for players like Salanki and Jordan I've he played yet to lanky play against walls last week, didn't he? and Did he lie down the penalty? That was harsh and It's a tough one with Eddie how because obviously like I said, he's brought them up The expectation level there is probably to be roughly where they are. I think he gets talked up quite a lot, but I think he's a classic example of what fulham should have tried to be yeah, right? They play the same way they come up. They play the same way they did in the champions year Right, and he got a couple of players in he got people like Nathan Achian on loan And a couple of other ones and he's done all right in his first season and they just studied every year He's got some decent players in forward. I like Josh King. I think he's a good player. I like Callum Wilson I think he's really good but ultimately after four seasons You know you look at them and go if you're taking this game into isolation to not have a shot in a game Not even had a shot in 35 yards. No one's even stretched themselves to have a pop at the goal. All right well, let me ask you this question then because you know you You like to throw Few names out there when it comes to managers especially young German managers. Yeah The shell for manager Yeah, you like that's a desk up to desk. Yeah, right. They got beat by Düsseldorf at the weekend for now. He did at home They're currently did they have a shot? I had two shots on time. Yeah, there you go. No, no, but they have more possession. I'm just I'm just oh, no Yeah, I know they're currently They're currently 14th in the league. Yeah play 24 1 6 drone 5 lost 18 managed 40 14 23 points now if we're talking about him do you look at him and say Well, he's a really good coach but It just so happens that the team he's got now at the moment to start that good, but it's principles If you transfer into that from that team to another team, you'll be a good coach Do you not see that with how? We're the way look when they buy me look at a young coach and they've given me a chance to the way and you know Cloppers taken from minds to to Dortmunds and the way Thomas Tuschel was went the same way Do not see that in in Eddie Halt. We it's that is What he what he wants to do and how he tries to do things are actually sound. It's just that the club he's at now this does He's got a massive limitations because his squad isn't that big and he's playing in a really tough league and You know, he can't get the plays he wants But actually the way he's trying to play is pretty pretty pretty sad I think he's a good coach quite obviously because he wouldn't still be able he would if he wasn't a good coach Yeah, wouldn't be able to keep warm within the Premier League. Yeah and the story So he's obviously a good coach, right? Is he a great coach? No, because he hasn't been able to find the answers against Other clubs, you know Liverpool have beaten 4-0 late the last two seasons They went to Arsenal on Wednesday night and was spanked 5-1, you know, could have been more Alright, they beat Chelsea 4-0 the other week, but that Chelsea game Chelsea at 66% of the ball at Something like 18 shots to 10. Yeah, I've had six shots on target for a minute. Do you know what I mean? But so do you think he do Do you think it's better that he does the way things the way he does? Oh, no, that's not sorry I'm wrong as to quit. Do you think he'd get better results or worse results if he changed the way His team played Dependent on who they were playing So V was playing the top four and he said right we're gonna rip up rip up everything we do today and we're just gonna try and defend Because I think that's what he did for this game But he's on the back of an Arsenal game where he's been beating 5-1 when he's being wide open But I think for this game, he's basically said Well playing man says he would know they're gonna have a lot of the ball But because he started to do that it's actually gone against them because their plays are not used to doing that because I like I Like managers who stick to the principles Yeah, okay, right and I've said this about Marco Silva when people have had to go Marco Silva is that he knows how he wants to play You don't got the place to play Right, I think we're dead. He how I think he's got his ideas Right, he's got his beliefs and his ideals and in the main the way for Bournemouth. Okay, forget it You've almost got a suppose forget the top six against Bournemouth if you like because in general He's not a great although in the past. He's beaten them He's like the people for three of you the year the three won that with 20 minutes left I think you might have to think so over the years. He's got the odd result Yeah, I just think I think the problem that he will have right is that he's got the same set of players Mostly so he's got say like 70% of that team is what he's after a few years and after a few years your voice stops Anything Okay, so it's great that those plays know what he wants to do Right, but ultimately I have to go the quality Can Eddie how go out and bring in Team over there from like sick now because he's gonna look and go Bournemouth. No thanks, right So he's fishing in a different pond, isn't he so to speak so he's having to buy Dominic Salanke from Liverpool in the hope that He fulfills some potential And becomes another Josh King for them. He's quite lively He's big and strong and he gets ten goals a season for them and then that fills, you know And then Callum Wilson who's you know, never really fit. They've also lately as well He's lost David Brooks who's been brilliant back. Was he back at the week? Yeah, but he's been really good as well But I think Bournemouth I think if you're looking at them In a game like that against Man City, you've got to be doing better than 18% Yeah, no shot. You've got to. Yeah, you've got to they're not Cardiff They've got to go football. So I think he'll If it's idea and I know that he did he played he tried to play nine at the back Don't chew like I'm two banks and sit he brought him stealing at this prop of finishing boots on that would have ended Four or five millenium. He read Mara's missed a couple of what was mad about Mara's was he missed a couple of guilt-sets chances and scored a scruffy goal to win it, which was a bit weird
