The Premier League 2025-26 Thread

The closest thing to a manager “bounce” has been Wolves. However it took them a few games to get any kind of improvement. Even “our” Nuno took awhile to get a head of steam. These things take time. Maybe they should have got de zerbi instead of Tudor, but now I feel it’s too late.

Also, he is making it pretty clear that he does not want to come, at least this season, unless he is able to hold them to ransom,. which, of course, he can.

Everton home and away, Fulham away, Palace at home, Wolves at home, Villa away. Those 6 games were woeful and probably the ones which caused him to lose his job.

So basically whenever we play shite the manager is to blame

Even if its the same players and tactics and training etc that won us games before and after etc?

Which makes me wonder whenever we have won a game well has it just been because the opposition manager has been shite or is it anything to do with us doing well?

Tottenham Hotspur have entered into advanced talks with Roberto de Zerbi, with the former Brighton manager now willing to take charge immediately, according to sources.

Will go one of two ways. He’s a good coach but he’ll need to take time to get his players playing the way he wants. If he doesn’t hit the ground running and get them on board, it could go badly

Yep its one last chance for spurs to react

I prefer its him to Dyche or Harry or even Ange on short term deals though for some reason

This guy might need time they dont have

Lol

Surely you notice over time i defend all our managers from armchair attacks Mapp?

Before getting behind the next one

I was one of the last to abandon Ange for example

I expect to be defending Perreira at some stage

I recognise a tough job when I see it

When did I say that? What I’m saying is he never once said he got it wrong and always blamed his players and we all know that there were games like Leeds where he fundamentally fucked it with selection and tactics.

Seems that if we play well (about two games), it’s a Dyche masterclass and if we lose, it’s all the shit players fault?

Which is a tough job, managing forest or defending VP ?
 
It's better if we concentrate on our team, we need to win at least another two or three games before we judge others.
The next two homes are going to be crucial for all four teams involved ( W Ham, Spurs us and Leeds).
Even after these two games with five games left one of these teams could be cut adrift and another almost safe ( W Ham loosing both and Leeds winning both will settle Leeds nerves).
