The bloke talks a good game, but can't walk the walk. Warnock said it years ago about him 'he talks a good game' before the Rotherham game in 2016. The problem is with LJ and many other young Managers in todays game is they lack in the basics of Management and that's motivation and man management which the 'dinosaurs' have in abundance. Footballers at Championship/L1 level want things as basic as possible and I often think he over complicated and confused things for our players. Pep can do this with his Man City players as they are good enough and intelligent enough to understand complicated tactics and formations in matches. Lee Johnson and the young Managers of today think they are Mini Pep Guardiola's and forget that they are managing at a much much lower level than that. He then comes out with bizarre remarks in his post match interviews and I think it's to try cover his own back when if anything he just makes himself not look like Guardiola but more a David Brent. The odd thing with Johnson is when you go on a winning run with him is you can get the feeling this guy is going places in the game and everything he says is coming to fruition, and then right when you think you're in a good position with him, the teams implode (take us being 5th with 5 games remaining in 2019).

Robin101 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Sunderland fans need to accept they don’t have a god given right to get out of League One. Let alone a right to win the league, beat every team 3-0, and play like Barcelona. They seem determined to sack another manager which will be how many since they went down? Maybe someone should suggest a long-term strategy for them. Have their parachute payments run out now? Think they’ll only find it tougher down there next season with Wednesday and a strong Rotherham side as well as Ipswich, Portsmouth, Charlton etc. Maybe even Bolton!

I see WeeLee is keen on reuniting with Watkins & Adelakun. Brilliant for us if that happens, but you may well experience a feeling akin realising you've been slipped a dud £50 note.

B1ackbird Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 We all watched in the knowledge (hope) that, sooner or later these protracted, losing streaks will turn to winning one's, sadly these were too few and far between to count for f all.. Every so called 'Expert' would say that managers never get long enough to get it right but if he was still here how many "clubs in the bag" would we have now? More than Man U? Decent guy who had a genuine affection for our club, but whoever posted he'll be Yeovil boss in 18 months time isn't far off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His & our problem was the players (according to WeeLee) delivered outstanding talent in spades during training such (according to those watching) had sod all left for matchday. At least that's what his comments lead one to conclude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
