If you are genuinely worried about this, then I respectfully suggest you need to find better things to worry about!
In fact, I would go so far as to say the your "dream harder" philosophy is not only counter-productive, but potentially quite damaging to both Stephan's calm and considered approach and the need to keep a young squad's feet firmly on the ground.
As the self-confessed "perfectionist" that you love to style yourself as, I would have thought that you would have been all for an approach that stresses the importance of individual players working to personalised, tailored plans that give them the tools they need to make repeated incremental, marginalised gains on a continual basis whilst stressing that they've still got work to do in order to reach the next level, or is that philosophy too sensible, rational and boring for you? |

..And I daresay that a few of us on here will continue to tell you in no uncertain terms exactly how we feel about how you see it, in spite off your frequent protestations about how we all allegedly shamelessly victimise you..
Have a great week yourself!  |

Well said Baz.
And what a pleasant change it is to have a nice, calm well-balanced discussion on this thread today instead of the riduclous histrionics we often get subjected to from certain posters.. |

Not everything is about you, although if you wish to make it so, I'm sure there's a few of us who will be only too happy to oblige.. |

Having been only too happy to take you to task when I feel you've deserved it, I think its only fair for me to acknowledge what a pleasant change it makes to see you posting a number of genuinely positive posts of late. I'm also only too happy to endorse the humility you showed in admitting you had been wrong about Kone previously.
I do however think you'll also have to humbly accept that people's perceptions of you are going to take a while to change, given the tone of the majority of your previous posts, and that will inevitably lead to a certain degree of legacy p*sstaking. |

You're always banging on about how much of a "fanatic" you are, and how that fanaticism is irrational (therefore exempting you from displays of "reason", "balance" and "logic").
Surely, then, the question of whether or not the team "deserve" your support is completely irrelevant, isn't it? |

Hmmm - let's just say I shall agree to disagree with much of what you have written.
One thing I will however agree with you on - you are the only poster I tend to not respond to in a balanced way, often deliberately to make the point about how I feel about what you have often written (or more specifically how you have chosen to write it).
I am very tempted to bite on your point about picking up the hypocrisy of others, but given the fact that you have been unusually conciliatory in your final summary, I shan't on this occasion. |

Because, as I have said directly to you on multiple occasions and will keep repeating until the message finally sinks in, you are the ONLY poster on here who consistently refuses to give balance and nuance to what you write, and vehemently throws their weight behind a jaundiced viewpoint that you push aggressively to the point of openly demeaning anyone who dares to contradict what you have to say.
Clive is a brilliant example of exactly what you DON'T do. Yes, he may have bitched and moaned, but he was very clear in saying that he gets that this isn't 1976 anymore, and there may be some unpalatable truths about who we are as a club and how that impacts everyday decisions that we just have to suck up and get on with.
Clive engages with everyone on an equal footing, and takes time to give context to what he writes. You on the other hand seem to believe that you saying what you say in the often obnoxious tone you choose to employ should be good enough for everyone to take as gospel and get mortally offended when some of us on here tell you exactly what we think of your mistaken assumptions. |

Bitching and moaning about it is somewhat pointless, don't you think?
Despite the fact you're blinded by your stated hatred for the guy, I hate to break it to you that M. Stephan is eminently more qualified to make decisions on what the best way to go is currently than you are. |

I struggle to understand why we're even contemplating letting him go! We should be fighting tooth and nail to keep him with us - players like him are like gold dust; committed to the cause, never gives less than 100%, never bitches and moans about not being an automatic first choice pick, which he'd be more than entitled to do giving how many times he's singlehandedly rescued the team over the years.
As Clive has said on more than one occasion, you let players like that go at your peril. |

What a load of absolute overexaggerated garbage!
Last time I looked, you don't get awarded points for "artistic merit" in this or any other league.
The manager came up with a game plan that made most sense, given the limited resources he had available, and if we'd done better with the few attacking chances we had, we might well have burgled a win.
Doesn't sound much like a reason to go "nuclear" on the club to me. Far better that we smuggled a point than lost all three - its really as simple as that.
Have you ever thought about relocating to Barcelona? I suspect you'd be far happier and the rest of us could live in peace. |

"At his age"😂
Another brilliant example of some of the absolute shite that professional footballers get away with, compared to the rest of us mere mortals..
I'd love to have had Paul Nardi here in our office yesterday to watch my new 67 year old colleague trying to come to terms for the first time with how Bluetooth headphones work (an essential piece of our everyday kit for a number of reasons).
Poor Chris was very well aware that he was making an absolute tit of himself, as he continually asked why the headphones kept falling off (basically because he kept trying to hook them underneath his ears rather than on top). This and other related IT issues made him have the look of someone who's just been woken up from a deep cryogenically induced sleep for 30 years with absolutely no idea how the world's evolved in the meantime.
Despite this and the inevitable stream of friendly p*ss-taking that kept coming his way, he persevered and managed to look pretty professional on his first Microsoft Teams call this morning.
Given he hadn't even heard of Teams until yesterday, that's not a bad bit of progress - and yet a 31 year old professional goalkeeper can't be coached into assertively coming for crosses in a sport he's probably been playing ever since he can walk...?! |
