And then we got hammered by Duncan Ferguson the caretaker manager. Let us hope Tuchel’s Chelsea is different. It really depends on how clever the manager is. The 'new manager effect' is more due to the fact that we don't know what kind of tactics they're going to employ because of limited data, rather than the opposition doing anything brilliant., although yes, their players will look to prove themselves again. I'm hoping we play cautious in the initial minutes.. and figure out their game plan before launching any assault.

Ferguson is in interim control after Marco Silva was sacked following Wednesday's Merseyside derby thrashing at Liverpool that had left the Toffees in the relegation zone. And Everton banished their recent struggles to run out fully deserved winners on a thunderous occasion illuminated by the former striker's wild celebrations. The Scot raced down the touchline when Richarlison headed Everton in front from Djibril Sidibe's cross after only five minutes, then swung a ball boy around in the air when Dominic Calvert-Lewin took advantage of slipshod Chelsea defending to increase their lead four minutes after half-time. Chelsea frayed some nerves in the home crowd when Mateo Kovacic pulled one back from long range - but Ferguson was off down the touchline again when more awful defending from Frank Lampard's side allowed Calvert-Lewin to scramble his second through goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's legs with six minutes left. Ferguson and his players took the acclaim at the final whistle as the mood lifted at Goodison Park. But for that one we were on a dodgy run anyway. So was no surprise to lose there. This time we aren't. We are capeable or should be of getting a result. Plus we hadnt beaten Ole Man U in the league anyway sooo might be a blessing lol Edited November 21, 2021 by Laylabelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 tottenham still looked like shit but they did get a result. Conte knows how to grind out wins and the 3-4-3 suits them too a T.... Not sure how far this will go beyond next summer due to the inevitable transfer spat with levy but for the moment i am quite content we already smashed them at their home.

Pizy 19,375 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The best case scenario for United seems to be what many of their fans are salivating about. That Poch leaves PSG and Zidane replaces him there. They get probably the best manager they can realistically get. But Poch would be mad to leave Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe mid season, surely? A manager who has never won a trophy until this season when he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager who has never won a trophy until this season when he will. Unfortunately he has won some meaningless french tinpot trophies in the meantime so the deadlock is broken but I really wonder why they prioritize him this highly. He has never done anything of note apart from two vain title challenges that ended in mid April and an incredibly lucky CL run. Would be way more anxious if Conte was still on he market.
