EPL 2022 / 2023

Haven't seen the cards incident, but until then it seems Fulham were in control.
Stupid wqy to piss away a season.
We had n 'easy' run of games coming up with a chance to get back in the race for Europe which is now shot.
PL safety and a FA Cup QF any Fulham fan would have taken that back in the summer but could have been even better.
Next transfer season is critical. Our shallow depth has been exposed recently Plus it seems the big sharks are circling our squad.

lol at Conte trying to get himself sacked rather than resign and miss a chunk of money
it's a pretty spectacular rant.
Problem for Spurs is, was he actually wrong?

A lot of it was right on the nose. But he is part of the problem right now. He's lost the dressing room.
There seems to be no set plan in terms of buying and selling players. We need central defenders so we buy attacking midfielders? Bewildering, I think it suggests Daniel Levy is still having too much to say about that

@KiwiPie
Seen it now. All three reds to Fulham were warrantedSilva would be an even better Manager if he reined in the histrionics
Yes Fulham has a history with this ref. He had a shocker when we lost at West Ham and I reckon we should have had a pen in the first half at Old Trafford but those are no excuses for what happened
Instead of calming things down Silva ignited everything. A 10 man Fulham at 1-1 could still have gone through. Instead Silva basically egged on Mitros sense of injustice
How long might we lose him for? Months?
Good job we are clear of relegation dogfight as our season has been screwed by 90 seconds of madness
-
@dogmeat That reaction must have been fueled by previous incidents as the Willian incident was pretty clear cut once it hits his arm. Smart play by Sancho for dithering as the goal was still scored plus a bonus 2 man advantage. As you say, Silva should have been calming his team down.

Well Bournemouth need all the luck they can get, so having some players missing for that match due to suspension suits me
Yes and you're well clear

In news that will shock nobody, Conte has left Spurs by mutual agreement.
That took a week longer than expected - he was probably making sure he got a massive pay-off before agreeing. So that's 10/20 clubs have a different manager from the start of the season and Moyes & Rogers are barely hanging on.
-
Meanwhile in the only league that matters, Notts are 2nd favourites to gain automatic promotion.
But they are guaranteed to be in the top 2, it is ludicrous that they may have to go into the play-offs with teams 30 points behind them. Langstaff has 39 goals for Notts, no penalties.

Rodgers would have gone earlier if Leicester could afford it wouldn't he?
Some sympathy for Potter. Chelsea are a mess. Absolute scattergun approach to recruitment. Bloated squad roster, full of ego's and expensive journeymen. How do you keep them all happy or impose a style or system.
Wrong coach for that club. They're like Spurs. What Manager in their right mind would go near them - except for the money of course.
Boehly will want a 'name' to placate the fans but is more likely to get an ambitious younger Manager with something to prove.

Leicester are suffering a bit from mean reversion.
They've had a great run, but reality is that at some point, it's going to run out. Rogers had done a decent enough job, but they simply didn't have the cattle required to maintain the top half of the table. They aren't doing that bad, it's just that the relegation battle is unbelievably tight this year.
As for Potter, well it was inevitable unfortunately.
I watched the full Chelsea match yesterday and scoreboard aside, they completely dominated. they just lacked the tooth in front of goal & made some terrible defensive errors. But they lost 2-0. And it's just too many times.
We've spunked stupid money on players with no return. It can't go on.
No idea why anybody will take it on now. A mismatched expensive squad down on the confidence it takes to win games. Perhaps Pochettino, who I'd like to see, but I suspect he'll be back at Spurs. I think Boehly will go after somebody stupid like Zidane, who I think would be a terrible appointment
And as an outside chance, Rogers.

or Nagelsmann
I don't think Zidane would go near it, but agree it would be a catastrophe - although very amusing for a Fulham fan.
de Zerbi?

Nagelsmann is hotly tipped, but I know too little of him to garner an opinion.

Not EPL, but Bayern München go back to the top in the Bundesliga. This means Kingsley Coman has a chance to continue his incredible streak. Every season of his career as a senior pro, he's won the league title.
Now that's not that remarkable given Bayern's dominance in Germany and other examples in other leagues (must be a fair few guys who debuted for Celtic during their recent streak and who won up to 9 in a row to start their career for example). What makes his record kind of crazy is that he's done it in three different leagues - Ligue 1 (PSG), Serie a (Juventus) and the Bundesliga.
I thought that was a fun piece of trivia.
-
As if Zidane would go near the Chelsea job haha.
Maybe Conte could return or as was mentioned, Pochettino?
No doubt clubs near the bottom will be lining up for Potter now. He's a decent manager, but Chelsea as a whole are an absolute mess from top to bottom right now.
