RLB at Lorient

In his first 10 games he had 8 wins that had Lorient in the Champions League. After that they only won 3 in the next 4 months. The following season they were relegated.

Dont want to contribute to the negativity but there seems to be a pattern developing in his albeit short career - start unbelievably strong and subvert all expectations, then completely fall away
I’m pretty sure the owners sold the best players from that side.
 
I expect players to be able to tackle, organise themselves in defence, control a pass, take a corner and pass 5 yards even in a dead rubber.

My worry is the mindset of the players as well.

We had that really bad run last season with mostly the same group of players and they couldn’t get themselves together.

I know they were left high and dry by the Beale fiasco but we there is something missing when it comes to resilience and leadership on the pitch.
 
It's a fool proof strategy. Have a new manager bounce/settling in period where no consequence can be inferred. Then mention the player's managing themselves to shift the entire emphasis onto them ready for the inevitable downturn.

It’s clear the players aren’t playing for him.

He doesn’t even have the motivational skills to make up for his lack of tactical intelligence.
If they aren't playing for him they should at least be playing for themselves rather than just sacking it off. No idea how you know what his motivational skills are like.
 
Getting a team relegated from the French league has gone massively under the radar among our fans. He wont get us promoted in a month of Sundays
