I picked Scolari because, although I do feel Sven has done a good job, he hasn't done enough with changing around the formation. The squad has been stuck with one upfront all year long and he has been unwilling to try something else and I just don't get it. Also, with the performances against Fulham and Liverpool, I just don't see the squad getting much better under SGE and I actually feel that they have declined. Thanks to Sven for all he has done, but I think Scolari would be the better manager.
I agree with that. We've not changed it around enough, and that probably has a lot to do with teams sorting us out a bit more in the second half of the season, because they knew what to expect.
I don't think there has been that much of a decline in the performances though. Liverpool wasn't great, but against Fulham we played as well as we've done all season for the first fifty minutes of so, and that's with a makeshift team.
I don't think the squad's going backwards, just that tiredness and injuries have taken their toll, as well as a lack of quality in depth. He needs the summer to bring players in to rectify that, but doesn't look like that'll happen...
