A manager who when he probably leaves Portugal, will fail in a much more competitive league against better teams and better managers. No thanks.

The Special One came from Porto. They can come from anywhere.

Amorim was rumored the last time, so I guess we pretty much binned him then.

Not to mention it's not like Enzo transformed us the way people justyfing this crazy pricetag were claiming he will.

Won sporting their first title in 19 years , top of the league again currently, knocked top of the table arsenal out of Europe. It’s a gamble given age and inexperience but he’s probably decent

Actually this is interesting:

Last season in 50 games we scored 50 goals and conceded 56.

This season in 36 games so far we have already scored 64 goals and conceded 49.

So in 14 games less we scored 14 goals more. This is huge difference. But with 13 PL games left and one more at least in Cup it is clear we will concede more than last season.

So imo defense has not been good at all even last season but this season it is even worse. But by the look of it Poch improved our attack and this is still with Nkunku out for most of the season.

Last season best goalscorers had: 9, 9, 4, 3 goals.

This season they are on: 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 4.  So much better and like I said still plenty games to play.

Too many variables to even establish correlation much less causation. Different attacking and midfield players with different intent and capacity of defending. Goalie, FBs, the whole team changed!

I like Colwill, but not sure yet about Badiashile. Disasi is too slow for the PL esp if you don't want to play with a low block.

Silva has overstayed his welcome by a a season or two.

So, even tho I don't buy the relation above (unless it were about American football and with the same defense coach 🙂 ), I do think we need CBs esp given that Fofana is perma wrecked

He won't be short on offers, just like Alonso and De Zerbi.   Will be interesting to see where Amorim & De Zerbi end up in the manager merry go round.

If he did, further confirms to me he is a top no nonsense manager and not another yes man.

Liverpool , Bayern and maybe real Madrid will need new managers , all ex clubs of Alonso so he will end up at one of them. 

Utd might also need a coach , de zerbi might go to barca

I'd go for amorim, girona coach or emery , but I've no doubt we will stick with the mediocre poch or get another loser like Laurent blanc

Could be; Still, my point is that whole unnecessary narrative around it like careful analysis, picking the absolute best of best, data driven, deep insight blah blah blah probably burnt more bridges than was needed. I can see that our owners really tend to put themselves in situations that are hard to back up from and fix the mistake (contract and pr-wise). And they do some mistakes.

Whole Napoli team were shit last night, definietely not the best game to judge player 

Actually those are the best types of games to judge players on for us. It's not like we're gonna play good any time soon, so a player standing out positively in otherwise shit team performances is a good sign for us. Any average player can stand out in a well-drilled team, Caicedo and Cucurella being prime examples. But it takes something special to impress in a team with no cohesion or play patterns, a la Hazard - that's where you want to splash hundreds of millies around.

FC Copenhagen

• Roony Bardghji - a strange case for one of best talents in Europe. From being top scorer with ten goals for Copenhagen to… zero minutes in first games of 2024. The reason is that Bardghji has no intention to sign a new long term deal - from the summer, he will only have 18 months left on his contract with several top clubs monitoring him

Victor Osimhen 'loves' Chelsea and wants to join this summer, says 'agent' Mikel John Obi
