The Ronny Deila Thread

Blackett and Boyata are Ronny signings.

* all to do with our scouting team.

We never went near the manchester reserves until Ronny came in, that is all him mate.

 

I agree. I don't think they're anything special; I just think they're obviously decent.

 

No just good at what they do

 

To be honest mate, the results wouldn't bother me if I could see what your seeing with regard to signs. What signs are you talking about?

 

I'll look them up my self

 

You make a very good point and one that maybe in the morning we'll reflect upon because it's no excuse but it is a fact Ronny has been very unlucky. I'm thinking of games like Inter when Gordon had his first bad game ever. Then Malmo when we lost that goal in the last second. Especially when we lost a late goal against Ajax after Izzy went mental and then Efe had a stroke against Fenerbahce. We were doing so well in those games and if fortune went our way then Ronny would be a hero now. I remember when Karagandy hit the bar in the 3 0 game, we were so close to going out and then even closer till Stokes had a Messi moment and Forrest scored with seconds remaining.

But I guess the thing is it's not our luck we're misgiving it's the performance. Don't mind getting beat when we've given it everything.

 

Where is your evidence of this? Seeing his team regress is not the words I would use, I think more accurately he seen the heart ripped out of his team to fill the clubs coffers and he was given a small portion of the profits to rebuild.

 

I said this earlier on in another thread, or it might have been this thread I don't remember.

Even when Lenny was struggling in his first couple of seasons like everyone (including myself) likes to say when complaining about Ronny, you could see that he had signed some genuine stars. Players you could see were * really good and would go for big money in the future.

Can anyone name one player that Ronny has bought that you can see going for big bucks?

 

12 Europa League games:

won 2, drew 5, lost 5.
scored 17, conceded 24

8 CL qualifying games, not including RK or Stjarnan games:

won 2, drew 2, lost 4

scored 6, conceded 12

overall:

Played 20: Won 4, Drew 7, lost 9

Scored 23, conceded 36

 

Don't scouts recommend a load of players though and them it's up to the manager to watch them and ultimately sign them if he thinks they're good enough? I'm pretty sure the scouting teams would have recommended a load of * to O'Neill, Strachan and Lennon.

 

Fair point and you're right.

 

Why not including the RK or Stjarnan games?

 

That record is embarrassing to be faur

 

Because they are basically * teams mate. Those 2nd Qualifying matches are glorified friendlies.

Against those teams:

Played 4, Won 4
Scored: 10, conceded 1

 

There is no way Ronny has been offered and rejected players like Wanyama and Virgil. There must be something different now from when Lenny was in charge.

 

This is the crux of it though. If we had scored 5 against Molde tonight, they would have scored 6. We're that kind of team, we absolutely cannot defend. It's made all the more frustrating because we can get a couple of goals, but it's pointless if you neglect the other end, that's just football.

Fenerbahce, Ajax, Malmo and Molde.. we scored plenty against those teams but just couldn't defend. Ask yourself, how many of those came from set pieces and where would we be if we had sorted it..

The opposite was the Karagandy situation you're talking about. If Karagandy had sneaked a goal, we would have scored whatever we needed to go through. That's the difference.

 

I say give him til the end of the season whatever happens. We could rise harder and stronger.

 

That's depressing

 

He is getting to the point of being indefensible.

Defensively it seems he has never quite worked it out.
