De Jong was alright.
Taarabt was very good under him, but I think he would've been very good under any coach.
He was here trying to get a move to a big team. Put him under Allegri, Pippo, Seedorf or Miha and he'd do very well.
He was tracking back, defending in our box, running through teams, keeping the unnecessary skills to a minimum. He was our best player in the 2nd half of the season.
I would give Seedorf another chance if Miha were to get fired. I wouldn't give Pippo. I'd be ambivalent about Leo.
Nah. I like your points recently but i think youre forgetting everyone here bitching about Taarabt the same way theyre bitching about Menez. He was borderline over confident
constantly taking on his man and when he lost the ball he would jog back. He wasnt the workhourse you make him out to be. But he was less selfish and more creative than Menez (despite Menez being significantly more talented and just better overall) which helped the team. He carved open spaces and was a nightmare to defenders. He would be excellent if we had a faster team (same with Menez).
I think dorf is so underrated here. He had a clear plan and vision like some here have stated, he started to implement them until the Monty coup. Half the squad was shit, thats a fact.
His mistake was thinking his vision wouldnt run into the wall that is Berlu and his stingy self. He was naive in club politics and it cost him dearly.
Would not want him to come back until he gets proper experience. I was against his sacking, dont get me wrong, but the club is moving forward and it should stay on that course. No matter how small that progress actually is
