Brown is right and I like that he is laying into the team. There aren't enough players stepping up. But I still think the tactics, which are the same every week, are just not working. You have three men lined up behind one striker and two midfielders in brown and Johansen laying pretty deep. That means we never have enough passing lanes to penetrate. When Guidetti gets to the box, he has no one in there because every hooped player is behind him. Commons was trying to drive into the box against two or three defenders all day.
Worse, the three men behind the forwards are trying so desperately to find a way through, that there are acres of space behind them to run at the defenders. So the team is subject to the occasionally break.
I think Deila should be sacked. Sure, three months isn't long but we should not be this far down in the table after eights games. We have 14 of a possible 24 points. There has been one decisive victory. The only difference this year versus last year is Forster and one can argue that Gordon has replaced him quite nicely. This club ran riot over the league last year and now we can't even count on home victories. Lennon had this same crew scoring goals, turning up clean sheets and winning the league at a canter. That was five months ago.
The biggest reason he should go is that he never should have been hired in the first place. And the early returns are terrible. How long do we wait? Until we're nine points adrift in a league that we should be nine points ahead? The guy subbed too many and cost us a game. Then he subs too few. Well, Ronny, now you have it completely surrounded. Make the right call! It only cost us six points for a professional manager to learn something the three of us could have told him. I know 'em when I see 'em. He's not it.
