That season was over. No one was thinking about promotion. We were a mess thanks to Xia and Bruce. To win 10 games in a row was an incredible achievement. If he keeps this s**t heap of a Norwich squad up that will be his second miracle and he'll be eligible to be canonised to sainthood by the pope. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a journalist out there clever enough or brave enough to inform us common folk on how semi finals and finals are because of the players at his disposal rather than the system and tactics he uses and his negativity is actually detrimental, we're getting better results by playing worse football, the general consensus won't buy in to that They can't use watching football as a way of getting around the success on paper, you can't argue with it, it only ever seems in retrospect that someone sticks there head above the parapet and says something like "sven should have done more" Southgate is set up for a job for life but when he leaves the knives will be straight out for what he should have won 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Southgate's time at the top will only be eclipsed by Belgium's Martinez in terms of "what could/should have been". Back on topic: Deano gets the culture right at a club first, that fosters belief and the players respond. I think we are seeing that now with Norwich. Still, it will be impressive if he keeps them up. Some of their play and players are calamitous Edited January 21, 2022 by ozvillafan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Over the moon for Dean tbh. Helped me to fall back in love with the Villa, hope he keeps Norwich up above non-entities like Watford, Burnley and Saudi Toon FC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chine Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hope he keeps them up at the geordie maggots expense ,but in his interviews you can see he’s not fully sold on any kind of project Norwich , best of luck to him hel get another decent job in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Norwich have unquestionably the worst squad in the league, so if he keeps them up, he really is showing value add as a coach at this level. Even an 18th place finish would be an achievement given where they were when he joined. I thought he'd made a mistake taking this job so quickly after leaving Villa, but maybe he needed to prove a point ASAP. It's good to see him doing well without the whole Grealish / childhood Villa fan thing hanging over perceptions of his coaching ability. He's a genuine top-flight coach IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 Great win for them last night. I watched the post match reaction and I was beaming for him during his interview, can’t help but will him to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
