I hope he gets over his serious tactical naïvity if that's to be the case. He's been found out several times this season and I'd say Derby finished the season lower than they should have considering the players his Chelsea connections have allowed him to bring in.Darlo_Pete wrote:Just loved those scenes from the dressing room after the game, with the Derby players and Lampard singing that Oasis song back at the Leeds fans. I don't think I've ever seen a manager so in tune with his players and the fans. I'm sure that one day he'll manage England.
Did he, or did he get a bit lucky when he had to bring his non-goalscoring striker off because he wasn't fit?Darlo_Pete wrote:Yes he's been naïve at times, but that's understandable when he's just managing for the first time. He certainly figured out Leeds with his tactics last night. Yes Mount and Tomori have been brilliant and they will be hard to replace if they go back to Chelsea, as will Wilson from Liverpool who has been a revelation this season.
Jeez I hope he doesn't get to manage England, he's a tosserDarlo_Pete wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 8:48 amJust loved those scenes from the dressing room after the game, with the Derby players and Lampard singing that Oasis song back at the Leeds fans.

This all day long, he’s a very lucky manager (spyman spot on too). I predict he’ll either be blubbing at Wembley or next season in the Premiership.....’stop crying Frank Lampard’Earl_Lee_Dawes wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 7:35 pmJeez I hope he doesn't get to manage England, he's a tosserDarlo_Pete wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 8:48 amJust loved those scenes from the dressing room after the game, with the Derby players and Lampard singing that Oasis song back at the Leeds fans.

No different to many teams in the championship these days. Most of them full of loan playersJE93 wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 10:17 amThe other interesting thing about derby is that their key players (in my view) are mainly loan players. Tomori (CB), Mount (CAM) and Wilson (RW) have been huge for them all season. In that sense they are kind of like us. Should they progress to the league above it may be less of a problem as their parent clubs may allow them to keep the players testing them in a higher league. But should they not progress it's likely they won't have those players next season. Then they have the issue of replacing these key players without transfer fees to support them. Bit of a lottery which likely keeps you going back to the loan market each year hoping the next player you get was as good as the last.
You don't have the career he did through luck. Not the most naturally gifted player, so I would expect he worked damn hard for the "luck" he enjoyed.Spyman wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 8:53 amChelsea fans seem to be wetting their pants with excitement over the thought of him being Sarri's eventual successor. It comes across as them not really having paid tooo much attention to how Derby's season has gone and taking it on face value that they're in the play-offs so he must have done a great job.
I've got nothing against the guy, but he seems very lucky as both a player and a manager - always thought he scored an incredible amount of scuffed finishes. Something about his interview style also reminds me a little of Tommy Wright - always very formulaic.
Yes fair, I didn't mean that to come across as playing down his career, terrific player for Chelsea - but he seemed to have a knack for scoring more scuffed goals than anyone I remember seeing.HarryCharltonsCat wrote:You don't have the career he did through luck.
