Wymsey Posted 15 March 2018 Share Posted 15 March 2018 (edited) The only manager I respect the most is Eddie Howe and possibly Pochettino and of course Puel. Still not sure whether to like Sean Dyche or not. Howe has took his club - that shouldn't really be there in terms of the infrastructure compared to other PL, Championship and perhais even some League One clubs - from the fourth to the PL which like Graham Taylor did at Watford, is such a rare achievement in the game.

I kind of suspect Puel will end up being in this list in the future, as he's securing a reputation for solid if unspectacular results. I hope he can help LCFC progress, but it given that the club recently stated that our current position is "satisfactory" it shows that Top and co are hungry to push onward and upward so I think next season we will be expecting to push on again. It's interesting that none of the newer breed of former player - turned managers like Giggs, Campbell, and Gerrard have got anywhere close to a Premier League job. I wonder which one of these will be the first? My prediction is that Patrick Vieria will be the next Arsenal manager alongside Thierry Henry. Tbf though, I do think it helps highlight as well why these managers are picked. Hodgson's only real failure, at clubs of this stature was with Blackburn in the 90s. Big Sam's failure with Newcastle, although like the West Ham job seemed harsh with hindsight. Hughes' only real failure being with QPR, which was quite disastrous. Moyes is one that you'd imagine should be off the merry go round after West Ham, his second chance of redemption has ended up flat on its face. Same kind of goes for Pardew & Pulis only having one real failure with West Brom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fox Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 Fellas, there are only 4 games in this game week so for the guys who play FPL, go change your team. I just played my free hit to have 11 active players for this game week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have more talent than anyone. They play some very good football but nowhere near teams like the 2008-2013 barca. Or not to look too far into the distance, napoli's playstyle in the first half of the season. It's frustrating watching teams just mesmerized by simple triangle pattern passes. I wish they get real madrid in the CL. Then people will see how big the difference actually is. man city destroyed Napoli twice in the first half of this actual season. they're playing, regularly, in fact nearly every single game, the best football this country has seen in most of our lifetimes. they're a joke. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 Like Michael Jordan said not too long ago, numbers and stats mean nothing without a title. until they win the CL and KO barca or real madrid they are just another overhyped team from the PL.

Their players numbers are inflated (mainly Raheem and Sane). i'm not blaming them for it, i'm just pointing out the facts. They have a very good team and system but they lack the feeling a helplessness that teams like barca and real madrid and players like messi and ronaldo emit.

While in the football league I know Wilson was £3mill but not sure about other spendings. He got automatically promoted from league two while in admin. He's done a superb job at Bournemouth.

I don't mind Dyche. He was annoying while we were both going for promotion but you can't overlook the job he's done, given Burnley were favourites for relegation from the Championship when they finished runners-up behind us.

Man city managed to avoid barca and real madrid in the CL and now they are facing pool with klopp the pashon merchant. My point is, they are a very good team but people are acting like they are the best team in the world and the season isn't even finished yet.

The season isn't finished yet so you can't say they're not either. But the point stands that on a domestic level, they're going to be breaking some records this season so if some people feel they're the best club side we've seen in England they have plenty of support for their argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
