So what affect do you guys think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s appointment at Cardiff will have on their team? The owner Tan is such a nutjob, I’m sort of surprised Ole decided to take the job tbh. How could anyone work under that guy??
Beats me mate – would of thought anyone would be mad to work under him. Hopefully it works out for Ole as part of his apprenticeship towards United.
OGS probably went there for one reason: English Premier League manager experience.
True. I suppose it would be tough to turn down the opportunity to manage in the EPL. Just seems like a poisoned chalice to me- kind of like taking the Chelsea job except you’ve got no world class players or Champions League!
Bony….
City CS gone..!
Come on Shelvey! Go son!
He looks good doesn’t he. The move to Swansea has really worked out for him. He spreads the play really nicely from deep and is getting right up there to support bony. Probably end up with 2 points though – fantasy football just hasn’t got a viable points system for ‘influence’. Unless you’re a central defender that is to mop up the bonus points…
+1.
Bit surprised Liverpool let him go
He was awful at Liverpool, the same could be said for Tottenham and Huddlestone?!
You’re right Titleastic. I was thinking about this myself the other day, maybe an improvement could be made for shots on target, the same as saves made for keepers. Successful tackles? Chances created?
Each brings their own problems, though.
He wasn’t “awful” at Liverpool per se. Problem for Shelvey was that he couldn’t play as an attacking CM for the Reds, whereas for Swansea he can especially with Michu being injured. Shelvey in terms of fantasy football is annoying. He’s given Bony two great opportunities, neither converted until De Guzman provides an assist!
He was pretty bad, but he was played only occasionally and just stuck up top and told to get on with it. He just needed a different club and a bit more of a clearly defined role. Shows the importance of a good manager getting the best from players
I didn’t really follow him at Liverpool but from what I seen he was struggling, his stats are really good for Swansea though.
Was his problem the same as Henderson? I feel since Gerrard has been missing, Henderson has had a different role to when G is included. He’s certainly risen to it.
I know it’s hard isn’t? To be honest the bonus points ‘ system’ from a few years ago when it was just a panel of individuals making arbitrary decisions at least gave the opportunity for some evening of the playing field. Problem was they had favourites who got the points every time.
Wrong day to double up on City’s defense (Kompany & Kolarov ) – no to mention Nasri’s yellow :whacky: !!!
Pretty pissed off how the 1st day of this year started :-/ …
Gonna skip the 2nd half…
Laters, all …
Afternoon guys, happy new year
