Last week's Allardyce claims said the plan was for Ross to get them to the Premier League, then Allardyce comes in. He managed West Ham in the Championship though.
Thing is, in 2019 the PL is already extinct for dinosaurs like Allardyce, Pulis, Pardew, Hughes etc (obviously we have Bruce). Give it 2 or 3 more years and he'll be even more out of place.
Well that backfired. Not having De Bruyne and having Lundstram as 2nd sub means it went badly wrong.
Wildcard activated, although there are simply too many good options right now. Everyone is on fire.
Also, you'd have thought seeing them fall over the last few years would be glorious. But do you know what? It's still been miserable, despite that.
Couldn't even take joy from their bad years.
Well they are a 3rd Division side but, with that squad, are clearly getting promoted. And it'll only take 2 or 3 years after that to get back to the Prem.
It's just cruel how quickly it can all change. The night these lost in the play-off final was when news broke of BZG - it felt like everything was about to change, in a good way. 4 months later and it's Ashley, Bruce, Dell and a new level of misery.
That's it for me, like.
After all those sliding doors moments we've had with Etihad, BZG etc we're stuck with the devil himself. These pricks get the dream takeover. It's so unfair, I'll be pissed of until the day I die.
There's too many players on fire and not enough spaces or budget.
Salah, Mane, Sterling, De Bruyne, Martial, Mount, Son
Aguero, Aubameyang, Abraham, Haller, Pukki, Barnes, Vardy
Allardyce has to be #1 - I was actually pretty happy with him before he got sacked.
Football wasnt great but it rarely is anyway. We lost to Derby but we're always having stupid defeats.
Annoying to see him linked with Sunderland again today. So pissed off at that takeover, man :(
I'd imagine Rodgers will eventually resort to the 4-3-1-2 tbh, especially now they've bought Praet.
Ndidi, Tielemans, Praet
Maddison
Vardy, Perez
Width coming from the extremely attacking full-back Pereira. Wow, what a team
