With them and Villa getting decent new managers survival is made that bit harder. He won't be taking charge of a game for us until after the World Cup though. He'll be in England next week for our game against Arsenal and will train the team while the WC is on. Hopefully will count as a sort of pre-season for him, but there will be a few players missing. Still a big job to do with our lack of goals. Edited 5 November 2022 by The Bear

Not too bad a game TBF.
winteriscoming Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 The Lampard love in on soccer Saturday in full flow. Saying how much Everton have improved under him and that they won’t be in a relegation battle. Nonsense.

The right one is vile and too much like Chelsea. We're lucky to have the badge we have. I think the one on the right is great. It only "looks like Chelsea" because it's round and has a lion rampant in it but it's coincidental rather than being a direct copy, Villa have had iterations of that throughout broad periods of their history, including for their greatest ever achievement. Typeface has a bit of character too so it doesn't just look like the 10 a penny roundel badges you find everywhere nowadays that seem to follow a template akin to Man City.

There's never a guarantee that any manager will succeed anywhere but it does poke a couple of quite sizeable holes in the common argument that we can't/shouldn't get rid of Rodgers because there's nobody out there who'd join a team in our position and the only viable alternatives are Dyche and Big Sam. 3
JimJams Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 Don't really see the draw of Lopetigeu, certainly not compared to Emery. Think he's got an exaggerated rep. Unai is levels above imo. 1

Oh for sure, just as there is an innate suggestion in every proposed manager that they would perform better, but yes I do realise there was ample replacements on the continent, due to PL money if nothing else.
cruzFOX Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 So how do we want all of todays results to pan out before we play? ie, what’s our best scenario for max climb up the table

I watched Football Focus for the first time in ages when Gerrard was walking a fine line, Dion Dublin was asked who replaces him and straight away he goes to who's out of work - Dyche, Benitez... It's the richest league in the world for ****s sake. Lopetegui (who I'm aware *was* out of work) is definitely better than Bruno Lage who managed to have no facial features or discernable pedigree but Emery is a bigger coup imo. He's had a brilliant few years and could legitimately get a Champions League gig. Then again I thought Carl Cort would be a class signing 1

cruzFOX Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 I have a feeling the goals are gonna pour in today lol. Wolves just leveled it!
