Iraola

Not open for further replies.

We might not agree with what he says but he supports and speaks up for his team
Why do knuckledraggers need to bring up his nationality? We have a politics forum for these feeble minded types
He has done a very very good job at that club. They were a mess when he took over
He lost almost his entire defence last season. I have no doubt he will go onto bigger and better things
The referee had an abysmal game and that is his main gripe
Do you believe past managers like Keane would have kept quiet?

I like Iraola but he went on like a complete tit on Saturday...and imo that certainly played a part in destabilising his team and undermined their approach in the latter part of the game.

That’s football..it’s passionate and people like him wear their heart on their sleeve
Di Canio would be one of most passionate around and ultimate daft as a brush managers…but we still love him for that one game
 
It was a magnificent win on Saturday and fully deserved. Material for a Till I Die screening.

Like nearly all I thought there was a thrashing on the cards after 15 minutes. Had Bournemouth continued to play as they had started and at that pace they could have been out of sight by half time.
Adopting shithousery tactics to kill the game
- timewasting in general
- crowding the ref (6players minimum) after every decision and the ref "allowing" extended discussions
- keeper tying boots at goal kick

but the obvious and best example was following the second goal. Deserved celebrations in the corner but they were there for an age. the "planned " bit followed where they all went to the touchline at the dugouts and started again for another minute. It was an age to get the game restarted. Then more silly stuff followed. They lost focus and their momentum and had only themselves to blame.
As we were in position ready to restart .............and so was the ref.........he should have blown !!
The keeper wasn't tying his feckin laces in the 70th minute !

Nowt to do with Bournemouth not continuing how they started. We simply made mistakes that led to goals.
 
They were 2-0 up after 15 minutes but he felt the need to have a team talk after both goals. Stunk of micro management to me. If you can't trust your staff when things are going well they'll never trust you.

He knew his players struggled to cope with the atmosphere from the crowd. He alluded to it in his interview but blamed the ref. I wonder if he’ll rethink that after a few weeks, cos I still don’t think he’s the spoilt bairn that Arteta and Guardiola are.

Could never see Reggie going on like that, not a good look
