Jesse Marsch

[weasel]

Akin to being on the Titanic with a puncture repair kit.

Can anyone tell Marsch where to stick it?

[Jaydog]

Can’t keep attacking Marsch. It’s pretty boring now. He’s not good enough. Not effing rocket science. Not his fault he’s s**t, he's a deluded corporate cockwomble. f**k him off to some American basketball ball team where his w**k talk might make some sense

Dude's time has to be close to over.

[Kennyb41]

Ref was a cracker today anorl.

[Jaydog]

Any defence of Marsch. Hello. Echo.

Losing can become a habit, especially when the team fall behind against the run of play. Psychologically when the same situation keeps repeating itself it must affect the team. Desperation and panic set in.

This season we have conceded at least 5 goals from memory when a dead ball comes in off the right flank.

People blame Struijk for the tackle, but on any given day, if you are going to foul an opponent then the position he did is not a bad place in general.

We just seem to give away the most horrendous goals, players who cannot hit a barn door week in week out seem to have their one good shot in 20 against us.

As the saying goes you make your own luck in this game and for whatever reason we do not seem to get much with JM.

The board must surely be sounding out a replacement, again it will be a change that involves all the coaching staff when it happens. But as others have already written timing is crucial. They have the two Manure games to get it sorted, getting a result in either game could be bitter sweet as the board may decide to stick rather than twist.

I think we didnt fix the actual issue and Rodrigo went out at the wrong time. Do I blame Marsch for these things? Not particularly, but its been long enough that it's worth trying a different manager to shake things up.

[DDB220]

I also find it bizarre how we can possibly spend 70 million (assuming we buy McKennie) and not start either. Any other team gets a big signing and they start because they were signed to make a difference. Even if that difference lasts 60 mins it is better than introducing them late when the opposition have effectively camped in their 18 yard box.

[Ratscoot]

That'll be a big fat no then

[Jaydog]

If his plan is to relegate us then he’s right on course

The irony is he had incredible luck last season, some of the results were nothing short of miraculous in spite of poor football, like Wolves away. That seems to have deserted him. There is a line about lucky generals being better than good ones.

Maybe evening itself out. The luck against Wolves in the first match of the season when a poor shot by Rodrigo squirms in. THe luck against Chelsea when Mendy dallies on the ball and gifts Aaronsen a goal (not to mention the millimetres Sterling was offside by when he would have put Chelsea 1-0 up), The Liverpool f*ck up to gift us the lead against them. 3 of our 4 wins had a generous helping of good luck attacher to them.

[BlackHillsPaul]

I’m right back where I was after the Palace game. Which is that Jesse has to go. He’s had time and been backed. And the results are SCREAMING for him to be sacked. I was prepared to give him February if we got a result today. Not now. After that 2nd half performance any reasonable person can see it’s not working. Forrest got their goal and parked the bus. And behind the bus they had Keylor Navas. We had no answers. None!!

The team needs new ideas. A new voice. And I have no idea who that is. I just know it ain’t Jesse Marsch.

Rumours of an emergency board meeting ..

It would be easier to defend him or feel sorry for him if he didn't big himself up at every opportunity and blame the players all the time too when it is clear it is the tactics rather than the players that aren't good enough.

Great suff, does that mean the stand in manager will be the fella we brought in less than 2 weeks ago, couldn't make it up.

Yes. He’ll always be deluded “ oh my god if i’d stayed at America of Leeds United States I would of godamm won the Super Bowl”
Newcastle, Brentford, Forest. 3 dire performances. Bye bye f**k off

[Carrick Dave]

I've heard Jesse talk often about how the goals were in the middle of the short end not down the sides, but I wonder if anyone had told him we're meant to kick the little round thing into them.

Ok, so devil's advocate - are we convinced that a new manager of reasonable quality, open-minded and tactically flexible, has enough quality in the squad to transform our results and keep us up?

[BreakingTheDuck]

Here is the argument for keeping him until end of season:

• In the games since the WC break, Leeds is 0-3-3 in PL, and 2-1-0 in cup. But by both XG and the naked eye test Leeds performed better (in all except finishing) in 7 out of those 9.

• Despite claims he is over his head, his managerial resume is pretty typical for a young lower level PL coach. His “Chaos is a ladder” tactics are extreme, but not unconsidered, based on the Ralf Rangnick school.

• Changing managers makes sense when the manager loses the dressing room, or their tactics have been found out. But despite some weaknesses inherent in the system, we haven’t been blown out in any game in quite a long time.

• The playing staff have been brought in with Jesse’s system in mind, so a mid-season replacement is going to likely be Ralph Hasenhüttl, not Pochettino. Just so you get your expectations correct.
