Herbert Chapman. He won the First Division twice in a row and the FA Cup with Huddersfield and again with Arsenal. Oh, and don’t forget how Bob Paisley did at Liverpool. Brian Clough, in my view, was successful because of his partnership with Peter Taylor.
I suggest that you read Spencer Vignes’s excellent book ‘Bloody Southerners’ for the real lowdown on Clough at the Albion.
Just a thought - two years ago we played Arsenal at the Emirates. We’d won just one PL game in the previous eleven fixtures, and scored only one goal in the previous six games. Yet we put in a stellar performance and beat the Gooners 2-1. We then went on to complete the season with just one defeat (Man City) and four wins and two draws. A repeat of that would be good.
Who give you extra
So Steele isn't to blame for the Wolves defeat, despite losing 1-0 due to a massive mistake by the keeper? Can you explain that to me again?
Youve asked that question a few times now. If you remove the Potter part that has nothing to do with anything the answer is that before Sept 23 we won games played well and scored goals. Since then we have 6 league wins in nearly 7 months and a goal average of about a goal per game. Our squad is not as good as last year but its a lot better than that. Cult of Zerbi is strong like someone said but I´m sick and tired of losing and playing bad. If he need two world class midfielders to win then why would anything look better next year we cant buy world class players we need to make them
Going to stop making the math behind this logic before getting an aneurysm but the idea here seems to be the tactics are never right or wrong and players lose games tho nothing about them winning games. But there is an exception when Roberto is putting his adopted son in goal because then it can never be his fault if something like a goalie clanger happens its Barts fault for not playing. Guess Bartolomew is no apostle in this religion
It would have then gone to pens if I’m reading the OP’s logic correctly
The mistake was made in the 2nd minute of the game. We had about another 100 minutes to get an equaliser, but didn't. The whole team and subs are responsible for that part.
No I didn´t because we played great football and won games but now when were on down ward spiral with no sign of improvement. Ebb and flow with Potter and Houghton but this poor run is getting long. In 1 month its 1 year since Everton 5-1 defeat unless we win games now the great start to this season will be hiding our worst 12 months of results since Chris last year in charge not good enough no one can say this squad is that bad. When will it be ok to have different opniion from what I had Sept 22 2023??
Traitors?
The goal changed the game completely, at 0-0 Wolves don’t play the way they did for as long as they did. It could have been a 2nd minute 25 yard worldie, but it wasn’t it was a 2nd minute keeper f*** up.
Yes of course Steele has major responsibility for the goal but Van Hecke was turned by the attacker on the halfway line and made to look like a cart horse and the goal scorer got in front of Estupian and beat him to the ball. This is a team game and the whole collection of them should have done much better.
