Soccer Match Thrashing

[The Red Guy]

Do you think the manager/coach should be sacked after a thrashing (i.e the malaysia thrashing of singapore 4-0, not that many s'poreans care much anyway), especially by a rival?

Oh sure, blame it on the coach.

 

[Bruce]

Umm... sure. Why not...

For coaches results are everything, and he's a foreigner hired for Goal 2010 (which is qualifying for 2010 world cup, but that's impossible), not to mention taking a fat paycheck.

I hate the mentality of European sports and their fans. It's "---- up and die...like seriously, die,"

A coach should not be fired for one game. That's stupid. The thought of it is stupid.

A coach can only do so much. It's the players. Either they are good and they will make the coach look a lot better or the players suck like in this case and make everyone look like crap.

Hello,

Sack the players. The coach is responable for the time. He can't make them play well. They either do or they don't. If its the latter then the coach should think about replacing the players who don't perform or re-organise his squad. He may be playing his players in positions they don't like. Last time I checked, Football was a team game. Not a coach game. Team means being a unit. As one. The good and the bad.

Alternatively. Just make the coach a scape goat for the players lack of ability and performance. Thats what usually happends.

But the coach is supposed to gel the team up, for all the salary he gets. In many one sided matches the coaches often mess up with tactics especially.
