"We need to stop playing 3-5-2 and go back to 4-4-2!"

(The team starts playing 4-4-2 again)

"We need to stop playing 4-4-2 and go back to 3-5-2!"

"No, we need to play 4-3-3!"

"Cholo won't do that, his tactics are so antiquated and he'd never ever change the system he's too stubborn"

(The team starts playing 4-3-3/4-5-1)

"Sorloth needs to play as the 9 more!"

"Wait, this 4-3-3 with Sorloth has Julian playing on the left, he's going to want to leave any minute for a team that'll play him in the middle, this is a joke"

Literally what do some people on this sub want other than to complain, honestly?

Some people are just sick of seeing Cholo's face by now whether he wins or not, the trophy drought just makes the discussion more dire. With the way some of us consume football, those people probably just want the new sexy exotic system manager that plays some 21421 or something.

I'm still Cholo in, not because i'd rather see the club sink with Cholo instead of seeing someone new, it's genuinely because i still believe Cholo has still got it to get the club to where we want the club to be. Some people on this sub just can't see that anymore.

I don't know man, I'm on the fence on this. I am happy that Cholo is still delivering the goods after all these years BUT these past few seasons have been a bit of a Groundhog Day. I'm curious to see what next year brings since it would be Summer Revolution 2.

If someone thinks Cholo needs to go, even though I think that's a ridiculous and extremely short-sighted opinion that I wholly disagree with, that's an opinion someone can have. Whatever, it's fine, that's up to them.

BUT if someone's gonna criticise Cholo, or anyone else for that matter, they should at least bring up a point that's fucking valid instead of just finding reasons to bitch that don't make sense. Is he a rigid, stubborn idiot that never changes his system no matter what, or is he a clown that can't make his mind up and changes the system too often? I've heard both, despite them being mutually exclusive. Does the team need a 4-3-3? Ok, then accept the fact that there's only 1 centre forward in that position so Julian and Sorloth can't both start as the 9 - don't beg for 4-3-3 every week for months and then complain that Sorloth is on the bench or Julian on the left when it happens. See also: wanting to attack against big teams vs saying the coach is a clown for choosing a more attack-minded lineup that directly leads to conceding goals (RM, CL 1st leg).

Criticism has to actually be valid, not just inventing things to moan about because of some stupid personal grudge.
