Rds1983 Posted January 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2022 1 hour ago, useless said: That Norwich would finish bottom three with Guardiola, if inded that was to be the case, isn't proof that he's a bad manager, some managers are better suited to managing at bigger clubs with better players, and some are better suited to managing teams lower down the table, as different skill sets are needed in the two different scenarios. Like dig, someone such as Dyche has done a very good job at Burnley, but most probably wouldn't do nowhere near as good a job at Man City that Guardiola has done, or at Liverpool as Klopp has done, but that doesn't mean to say he's a bad manager. Id be very curious to see what approach he would take with Norwich. Would he be pragmatic and do the basics of solid defence and counter attack or would he try to build something similar to what he has done at City? He would however build something with them and they'd be a lot better next season (if they somehow stayed up). People forget it took him time to build City into what they are now. His first season he was being mocked for playing that keeper who couldn't save a ball but was good with his feet (can't remember his name).

Xhaka initiates the contact with Silva (and pulls his shirt for good measure). Both are extremely soft, but only 1 is debated. It’s because the Salah penalty was an incredibly obvious penalty. The only people who think it wasn’t are villa fans. That’s why it’s not debated. There was far more contact than the Silva one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to take a billion pound squad, spend another billion and win the league? There's thousands and thousands of managers trying to make a small club premier league regulars without spending a penny. Dyche has succeeded in that. Confused emojis incoming He hasn’t just won the league though has he. He’s won (probably) 4 out of 5 league titles setting goal scoring and points records all over the place. While winning a bunch of other trophies too. Pep probably couldn’t do what Sean Dyche has done at Burnley. But Sean Dyche certainly couldn’t have done what Pep has done at City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not the same thing. Salah's was a far more obvious penalty than Silva's. I understand that your stance is if the fall doesn't match the contact then it's not a penalty. But unfortunately that stopped being a relevant opinion in about 1995. Footballers go down when they've been fouled, even if the foul doesn't make them go down. That is how it's been for 25 odd years, maybe longer. I understand people still don't like that, but that's the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
