leo is good, let him stay, just this time we need to get our scouting game on for 2010.. im sure theres plenty young talent outside of poland working its way up the ranks in top youth clubs.. get on them so we have someone to play alongside roger! we dont need another podolski over-looking .. not too mention our slow motion defence.. ughhh… *sigh* … imagine a roger podolski smolarek hook up.. *sigh*

At the end of the Croatia game did you notice Leo shaking hands of players on the bench that didnt even play? It looked like to me he way saying ”goodbye” but I really dont know. I hope he does stay because I think we can improve on this, and I agree with whats been said about the need to bring in new, younger players to the squad. The question is, do we have enough good young players to play at this level?

I think the players want him to stay, at least that was what they said after the last game. They certainly didn’t blame the coach. Moreover, Boruc said that they felt better prepared than 2 years ago and played better football. I think that the trust is still there, I just hope the character will resurface again.

I think that he is one of the factor of our bad performance, but I think also that to have a good team we need to have some stability in coaching, just like Ferguson in MANU or Wenger in Arsenal. So for me is never more a magician but he is still a good coach who will learn from this Euro to make Polish Team a best team. Guys we don’t have to be so shame, think about France, Czech and Italy, so much talent and what they did? Maybe we will have a final Germany against Croatia…

Who cares if this group of players don’t like him. He needs to start with a new squad anyways. The young guys will try to get along with him no matter what just to get a spot on the team. I’m more worried he may be tired of Poland, or expect similar results in the future. In which case he might decide not to waste his time. But I hope he does stay. He deserves to.

with WC qualifying around the corner i’d like to see him stay. i personally like him and think he’s a great coach that can lead this team or any team for that matter. however, what really bothers me is that i’m not sure if the players think that. based on their body language i felt like they have no desire to play for him. maybe he trains them too hard and they rather be at the beach…. i’m still obviously bitter about their underachieving attitude (exception: boruc, guirrero). but if the case is that they dont want to play for him, then theres not much you can do. no coach will succeed if his players give up on him. and thats something i felt like i saw a lot of in this tourney from the current squad. cue the first 30 minutes of the austria game or the entire croatia game. i dont know what goes on in the bullshit that is the PZPN organization and the politics involved with it but i’m always left feeling like everything is important except for actually winning. i just really didn’t see a drive to win the games in this tourney (exception: germany game) and to me that points to troubles in the locker room and lack of team unity.
