Xabi Alonso homecoming??

[Frogfish ★]

Where is Bournemouth now?

You have to bear in mind how many players, good ones, they lost last Summer. They will sell to survive.

I don't get the hype over alonso at all. He seems a decent manager but nothing special.

I think it’s more that there is an expectation at Real in terms of playing style and tactics, and I’m not sure if that blueprint matches his preferred set up.
He showed at Leverkusen that he is an excellent young manager.
Shouldn’t have moved to Real, but that’s easy to say when you’re not the one offered the most prestigious job in Football.

He has a clear blueprint

Unfortunately the egos don't have the work ethic to implement it. Hence the revolt.

Interesting - I may have to go looking for detail.

They haven't been good this season, but he has done well with what he had before

Who, Slot?

Iraola

Iraloa is a good manager but the tonkings and periods of poor results his teams suffer arent the level we require.

Is he doing the same at Real?

He did an amazing job at Leverkusen and I reckon he'll recover from the current situation, whether at Real or elsewhere.

That said, my pick if we change now would be Glasner: done really well with Palace, knows the league and might bring Guehi too.

 

[Hansern]

Is he doing the same at Real?

No, looks like they’re playing a 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1

 

[rubans]

Surely no one expected him to go to Real and play 3-2-5, he would had explicit expectations he would fit into their system.
