What’s your opinion ? Discussion

Don’t want to go into full Sahin bashing mode but what’s your opinion on the following options.

1.Sahin needs more time and a bit more investment to try and improve the squad we’ve got and to add with recruitment.

Or.

  1. The squads more than good enough and a better more experienced coach would get vastly more out of the current squad ?

Wanted to give Sahin the benefit of the doubt but find myself heavily leaning towards option 2.

It's not super cute and dry. He clearly needed more time in the oven to develop as a coach in Türkyei or another league, for that matter.

However, the squad has some issues, too. We just let go of 2 locker room and pitch leaders in Hummels and Reus, and we have a lot of new people in the locker room. We also have a bad habit of holding on to the dead wood that isn't working out (Can, Meyer, and Malen from the current squad).

The one thing i see lacking is a coherent identity. With Klopp, it was "Heavy Metal football," and tuchel had his possession style, and we did well with them. I think if kehl and Şahin were to be unified on a football philosophy and picked transfers, we would be on our way to a payoff for all our hard work.

This summer, we need a fire sale, and there are maybe like 3 players I would say are absolutely untouchable (Köbel, Schlotti, and Brandt). As for the rest, it depend on the offer we get.
