The best appointment we could have got. Hands down, the club have done very well here.
I know we often make stupid comments at the start of these threads which we inevitably come back to in a couple of years when we want him sacked, but I don’t think it’s too soon to start designing his statue.
Up the Unai.
I have a suspicion it’ll end up being Pochettino. Not sure why. Mentioned from the start and faded to a whimper with only one or two mumbling as he might not be interested.
It’s all very quiet. Suspiciously quiet. I would not be surprised to see him holding up the Villa shirt come the end of this.
Interesting that our team selection leaked 24 hours before the game, yet the step-by-step guide our new manager supposedly handed Danks, along with the new manager’s identity remained a secret.
I’d be straight back on that phone to Mauricio, telling him to put his big boy pants on, watch Match of the Day tonight and get himself down Bodymoor in the morning.
That squad showed everything today. Togetherness, passion, flair, determination, etc.
So, so much to get excited about for a manager. Hopefully this will turn some heads.
Really like this shape. Attacking flair with defensive numbers. As others have said, great balance to it and limited spaces in behind for them to exploit. McGinn with a much needed break.
Well that’s kind of my point. What’s the context?
Some don’t want to take a risk on someone like Amorim, instead preferring a ‘safe pair of hands’ like Dyche. My point is he isn’t that safe at all. We’re just choosing to watch paint dry because he has, what, experience winning 3 in 10 in this league?
This is all kind of a moot point in fairness. We aren’t going for Dyche. He is not what the owners are looking for. You don’t go from offering Pochettino £10m a year to Dyche in a matter of 48 hours.
