What now, they bring someone in and force them to work with the 'ill equipped' squad? Unless the board just go full FM and spend on anyone & anything? Perhaps they have or have someone in the wings to be appointed this afternoon and still go full spending mode. It'll be like a football version of supermarket sweep, grabbing what you can while being ripped of all because clubs smell the desperation. Sounds more like the issue was that they have no intention on spending and don't trust Parker to get the most from the current lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, Parker is correct in that they need to recruit in order to avoid more pumpings this season. This squad is nowhere near good enough to stay up I wonder if it was a last attempt by Parker to force the board to spend some money, knowing that either way he wins. Either they cave to fan pressure generated by his comments and get a few signings in, or they sack him meaning he avoids having the inevitable relegation on his CV and gets a nice pay off. He will walk into the next top Championship job that comes up and a season of hammerings in the Premier League would only have done him harm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a shoehorned situation, they are both class players you would want to play and I'm sure it could be argues that midfield is actually Zinchenkos best position. His performance at Hampden in that role was one of the best I've seen against a Scotland side. Obviously it was only against a rotten Scotland team but he was still excellent, I'd really like to see him in that midfield role against better sides and see how he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or thats just the way Bournemouth are sugar-coating it. If I was in charge I would've sacked him for not leathering Klopp after he put his arm round him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a suggestion that Zinchenko moved to Arsenal actually to play in that midfield position rather than left back, but that he’s happy to cover there when Tierney is injured. I think at some point you’ll see them both in the team, especially since against Palace, they brought on Tierney to strengthen the defence since Zinchenko was getting caught out and targeted a bit. I am not sure they’ll start with him at Left back against the stronger teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Don't think Scott Parker will be flogging his £1610.00 cardigans on eBay anytime soon....... sure another management job will pop up soon enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Late to the party but I just saw the Newcastle away top they were wearing against Wolves. I can't find the words to express how dreadful that is. Breathtaking stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Good first half at St Mary's. Jorginho with some #Barclays streetwise behaviour at the end of the half which unfortunately got laughed out the park by all concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 To be honest, I've never been all that convinced that this Thomas Tuchel has the kind of calibre required to manage The Chels. Managing in your half empty grounds in the German liga is one thing, it's another level to get your results at the likes of Elland Road, St Mary's, the American Express, etc. Tell you what, here's a name for you: John Terry. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
