Anderlecht suffered their first defeat of the season against Genk, and the fans want to see Brian Riemer leave the club. This is also the opinion of Olivier Deschacht, who notes that the Dane has exhausted his credit at Lotto Park.
Last season, as well as at the beginning of this season, Anderlecht’s basic play was already criticized by observers and fans of the club. However, the results followed.
This time, the Mauves have just made 1/6 against Westerlo and Genk, while the game on offer has only been deteriorating over the weeks. It was too much for Lotto Park, which chanted “Riemer buiten” this Tuesday evening.
The opinion of Anderlecht supporters is also shared by Olivier Deschacht, speaking at the microphone of Sport. “Last season, Anderlecht did not play well, but had results. This season, the trend of bad football continues. They play very conservatively and have difficulty creating dominant football. There is no improvement.”
Jesper Fredberg as responsible as Brian Riemer, according to Olivier Deschacht
However, Deschacht does not want to place the blame solely on Brian Riemer, who is under a lot of pressure. “I am also very embarrassed by Jesper Fredberg, who is always sitting in the stands with his headset. You only see that here, a sports director talking to the bench during the game. I don’t think that is healthy.”
“When Anderlecht fans start complaining about a coach, that’s usually the end of the story. But in my opinion, Fredberg is also responsible. He went to get Riemer, he’s still sitting with his headset in the stands and he kept him on board after that missed opportunity last season. I think he’ll get one last chance this weekend, but the game will have to be much better,” Deschacht concluded.
