Let's stop with the innuendos

RD picks the team and sets the team up. He trains the team. He motivates the team. He educates the team. He coaches and tries to improve the team. The team on the park is a mirror of what RD has ( and is) achieving

I have no agenda against RD. if I think the team's performances are improving whereby we are creating more chances, scoring more goals, conceding less goals, being clever with the ball and being clever without it, pressing in the right areas, closing games down and seeing it to the end ( IE protecting precious leads ) then I would be a fan of the management regime

Where the results are poor but the performances are decent to good but above all else improving, then this ( for me ) can be satisfactory so long as the improvement is there

RD should go because the performances and consistency being shown are in reverse and not improving

Hearts don't have a better defence thannwe do potential wise. But they're organised. We are not organised and we are not hungry motivated enough to change it.

Who will be running through a brick wall for the hoops this week. Answers on a postage stamp please.

My main worry is the lack of progress from the promise shown at the tail end of last season.
Too many players seem to have lost form (or interest) and most of his signings have been very disappointing.
He talks a very good game but the players rarely reflect his theory and perform to their potential.
Our defence is the worst I have seen for many a year and our European reputation and ambition is down the crapper.

Statement just clarifys how much of a donkey you really are Paradisewon.

Ronny Deila is doing well domestically, treble is still a possibility. How can he not be doing well?

Europe, playing 4-4-2 as you regularly cry gets you nowhere. 4-2-3-1 is the right formation. Just a shame he can't pick his own backroom team that have aptitude to implement this more effectively in a stronger competitive enviroment such as Europa League. Also CRUCIALLY if he was allowed to bring his own scouting team in, a scouting system that is tailored to bring the best out of this formation there is absolutely no doubt part-time supporters like yourself would be singing his praises.

Watch this space i guarantee a few months down the line, you will be crawling out Ronnys hoop, stating he is your hero. You done it last season, you will do it again.

Seems to me like a lot of the team cba to improve. RD came out himself yesterday and expressed his frustration with them. Won't be the first time either. Part of the solution is getting rid of the trouble and getting new faces in. Players that actually improve the side though.

It's a tough one P. W - I think we all agree he's the salt of the earth, I don't know if the players are taking liberties/don't have the ability, or a combination of both, what we do know is buying all these projects is actually causing more problems in the long run, because we might improve one into a £12 million player, at the same time we are losing double that every year because the players simply aren't street wise enough! Bottom line - for every project we buy we also need to buy someone who has experience, and bottle to handle the big occasions! We all know Ambrose isn't good enough, that's also been the case with Izzy in Europe for years! We bring in Boyata a few months ago for the qualifiers, he's been an absolute nightmare, but Ronny is saying today that he's hardly played in 5 years, why put him into these games straight away then, we should have bought an older head as well, on top of that we have no cover at centre half, except Blacket, - in the name of God if you are going to bring in a loan as well as Boyata then get experience, - Blacket and Boyata have played about a game each in Europe! Park is obviously involved but Ronny seems naive and not pragmatic enough! I was looking at the records of the last 4 managers over the same period Deila has had, Oneill was top (as we know spent a fortune) Ronny and Lennon are very similar, and Strachan is actually the worst, and I liked him. Looking deeper though - Ronny has by far had the easiest games, the qualifiers used to be much harder before they brought in the winners route or whatever it's called! Games like Arsenal, Braga, Russian teams etc, are obviously much much harder than teams from Iceland, Norway, and Poland. We should have brought in a Director Of Football with Ronny as head coach, and an older guy as his assistant, - I wanted Roy Aitken at the time. The current coaching team have drawn or lost 16 games in Europe and 3/4's of them were against teams we should be beating, and have tiny wage bills. That's my biggest concern!

I keep hearing that he has a system and the players just aren't good enough to fit that system. Surely then you change or tweak the system to suit your players until such times as you can put together a team that can play the way you want them to. He does the opposing managers job for them by having the exact same tactics every single time.

{Ed007's Note - You do know a system and a formation are two different things don't you? A system is a way of playing the game like high-pressing or counter-attacking, the formation is where the players stand before K.O. they don't spend all game there.}

And that is why his time is up

We are no more or less a supporter for saying as much

The passive folk can call the realists what they like.

Paradise he picks the team he tells them what to do he sets them up. All true but - doesn't mean that he knows for sure his players will on the right moment do what's asked of them. His layout got Griffiths into position to score from 8 yards and he missed. Griffiths was the problem here. Blackett was in the position Ronny put him to clear with his header and only half done this and hen Boyata was well positioned to show some aggression and close down and block the volley he never done that either. All of those issues are in my opinion individual errors from the players themselves.

07 Nov 2015 13:37:54
A lot of good points above and to paraphrase, I think there are a few rotten apples that the manager should pap out the door as they are letting the club and support down by apparently saving themselves for Deilas replacement?
The signing policy/strategy needs to be addressed as we have a surplus of 'dainty' midfielders and no goalie, solid defenders or flair and power in attack.
The players brought in on loan are square pegs in round holes and we need the manager to assertively identify quality and not quantity in his long term targets.
Finally the coaching staff are clearly lacking and RD should insist on better advisers and motivators than Horace and Doris. I would hope by now he knows exactly who he can trust in the dugout and on the pitch and if he is too nice, stubborn or naive enough not to, he will carry the can.

@paradisewon his time is not up.

Its clear the boards remit is solely domestic competitions and operating as cheaply as possible to maximise profit for their own greed. He is achieving this so is not failing.

Board are also projecting an attitude with regards to CL of "if we get in, we get in. Main thing is we don't invest to get there". How the hell do you expect Delia to progress in Europe with hands tied and dross he has to select team?

07 Nov 2015 17:31:06
I don't see what your point is Ed. I said system because I meant system. Our players are not good enough to go all out attacking and high pressing in Europe, regardless of formation. It works in Scotland but not at a higher level.

{Ed007's Note - Well it's a lot easier to know where to stand at kick-off than it is to understand how to play a system, do you really think it's that important where players stand at kick-off?}

08 Nov 2015 08:20:09
I never mentioned where they stand at kick off. My gripe is with one style of play for every single game, fair enough if RD is here for the long haul and has time to bring in and develop players specifically for his style but atm they are failing miserably in Europe and to stick with the same thing each time shows naivety. Formation doesn't come into it for me Ed, in fact I think the formation we play is actually more suited to Europe than domestic football.

{Ed007's Note - For years we struggled in Europe because of the change in system between domestic and European level, people said we needed to find a balance between the 2, now we've got a coach trying to do that that's not good enough either.}

09 Nov 2015 00:57:32
It can be Ed but Rome wasn't built in a day. Everyone sees the RD experiment as a long term thing so what's wrong with a few quick fixes in the meantime? Going in the exact same home and away to Molde and getting picked off the exact same twice is criminal. I'd love for us to have a fast flowing, attacking, high pressing style of play all the time but it simply hasn't worked in Europe therefore I'd like to see us be a little bit more wise at times.

{Ed007's Note - I can't disagree with any of that.}
