He'll want pace on the counter, so that'll be why Sima gets the nod.

*narrow win against Morton* Fans: we're going to get pumped by PSV. *Celtic knocked out of Cup* Fans: We’re going to qualify for the CL!

Sakala is another: never been so good since he left.

Rangers 1 - 0 PSV FGS Tavernier

Sorry, folks - I've been caught out by the Tuesday game! Rangers - PSV

I think they'll be fine. I thought they were quite good.

This is like Forest Green getting excited because Man City are out of the FA Cup...

They may be 2-1 down, but I think Chelsea have been pretty good.

Lady Juju is merely the final garnish. We first have to be able to do the job.

Steady, folks. We're still p*sh.

Chukwuemeka scored for me, then went off injured. I'll need to rearrange my team again if it's serious...

Not really the place for it, but I thought it was funny: a brutally honest manager: Lyon were pumped 1-4 by Montpellier yesterday. When asked what had to be changed, manager Laurent Blanc replied, “You have to change the manager.” He was then asked if he wanted to leave Lyon, to which he responded, “No, but you’re asking me what has to be done, and I’m saying you might have to change the manager.”

There's been a murder!

There can't be anyone here like that. They'd be truly beyond contempt...

You're 100% correct. I mean, some people don't buy xG and think MB should be given a new 5-year-deal to get things right. Psychotic.

I like to be accurate. I've taken a battering on xG over the last week, so just let me have this!

PSV don't play in Holland.

I don't doubt it, but they are unhinged. Reasonable observers saw the football he was trying to play. He is now out of our league, but it's his first full job. He was joint-coach at Anderlecht, iirc. That's not out of our league. The point was that coaches can impliment a style of play quite quickly, even if it's a bit rough at the start. MB has had 9 months and it's still bland AF.

He's a good coach. Shaky - very shaky - first few months. But, you could see what he was trying to do. That was my point. I mentioned Kompany at Burnley, too.

Beale has been around for around 5 years. He repeatedly says that the club has been interested for a while, but it just means he was involved with the initial scouting. Raskin, for one, was a target for SG and MB before they left.

6 - 9 months? But that's to get the team fine-tuned. I'd expect to see what he's trying to do after a pre-season. You can see what Ange is trying to do at Spurs. It's really rough at the minute, though; they'll have a tough season. Kompany turned around Burnley in a pre-season. Again, it was rough initially: not many goals, a lot of draws. But, yiu coyld see where he was going. MB's football is so bland. Quite frankly, we've seen it for the last 5 years (excluding the period when GvB was in charge). It's not going to change.

Beale has had 9 months - 2 months with his new players. How long should he get?
