On match of the day the commentator genuinly said “whether its a penalty or not the game is being ruined”

Absolutely fucking insane thing to say and allow to be broadcast.

As one of the replies in the Gunners thread says, “matches the eye test”. And its pretty much what we saw at Chelsea when he was used outside of being up front as well, seems to be struggling a bit more now though when I watch him.

There are less managers receiving it from clubs further down the table this past few years it feels like, doing more with less vibes. Also seems winning the award back to back is way more common.

A quick look at this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_Manager_of_the_Month#Multiple_winners

It happened occasionally that a manager would win back to back in the 2000s but rarely, seems like around 2016 onwards its become much more common.

Its wild to me that Postecoglou now has the same amount or more awards as league winners like Conte and Mancini. Only 1 less than 3x league winner Mourinho. But also at the same time Arteta has 2 more than Mourinho!

Is that Arsenals only shot on target as well?

Neville praising Mudryk defensive work is definitely not something I had down as happening lol

yeah, we don’t have a fit striker.

He’s playing false 9 rotating with Gallagher into midfield though, its more playing without a striker at all than its using Palmer as a striker.

so bad it didn’t even go out for a throw in

Sanchez keeps playing that ball to Colwill who then punts it up field to no one. Its weird

Chelsea aren’t close to the first to be bankrolled by an outside party.
