WallisFrizz Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It’s an amazing stat. Not to be too negative but the converse of this is that we have only gained a single point all season when we’ve gone behind (Chelsea 1-1) that I can think of. Put that right and we’re sorted.

And you were the one that said the Premier League was much stronger then that it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think MON did well. It's difficult to compare the two really because of the differing start points. One think I do think though is that Dean has a higher ceiling. MON was very limited in what he did, not using the foreign transfer market for example. Smith can take us further, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kiwivillan Posted March 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2021 MON destroyed the club with ridiculous wages on past it retirees then left us in lurch. Has a habit of leaving clubs in the shit. Can't stand him 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Pretty confident we've lost the least points from winning positions in the Premiership so far this season. Pretty hilarious when you see people clamouring for subs when we're 'barely holding on' at the end of games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Love Smith but he hasn't eclipsed MON yet. Whilst we didn't make it (and I'll never understand how anyone who saw how much money and how long it took spurs and City to do to could really complain) we did challenge the top 4 consistently for three seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished 16, 10 and 6 points off the top 4 in them 3 seasons. The last season Liverpool and Everton both slumped out of the top 6 as well David O'Leary finished 4 points off the top 4 Edited March 1, 2021 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
