There is a comparison to be made as both of these clubs appointed mangers who came in to their respective clubs and adapted to what they had. Club stature, expectations and pressure haven't dictated what Amorim did. If anything he went against the traditions of the club. This stubbornness has led to them needing more new players and more time to get his ideas across. The outcome of this season has been shambolic from the managers point of view. All because of his refusal to change. He has not got that team playing anywhere near their potential.

Watching Rio and his mates after the match make excuse after excuse for Amorim. It was ridiculous. New formation, no transfer window, busy schedule nonsense. I was reminded this week while listening to a podcast about Palace and Glasner. Different level of club I know but he took over from Hodgson in February 2024 and won 7 league games out of 14 from then until the end of the 23/24 season. Amorim has only won 6 league games. Glasner also implemented a 3-4-3 formation, changing form Hodgson's old school approach. Typical Rio drivel.

Are they not in financial trouble as well? Surely not an attractive prospect for a decent manager in that case. We

Bournemouth are definitely the team to worry about over the next while. Liverpool aside, they have a lot of winnable fixtures coming up. Can't see Villa being able to manage the CL knockouts, FA cup and league based of today's performance

Or clubs with a cheesemongers in their stadium can't be relegated

Looks delighted to be joining

This is a very different manager merry-go-round

What happened?

Arsenal especially crying out for someone better than Martinelli on the left

Former Circle Bruges coach. Sacked last month wasn't he?

https://football-observatory.com/WeeklyPost486 Only worth 95m according to these geezers. Smh.

Need an early goal to kill off their hope

Let's be having more BlueSky links please.

Anyone else see the similarity between the Walker/Hojlund incident today and the Schar/Brerton-Diaz one at the beginning of the season?

We owe them after the last match

Nailed on

They're probably being extremely cautious with him in this case.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/einnahmenausgaben/wettbewerb/GB1 Spent almost 70m apparently. Doesn't feel like it.

If he makes contact at all, then it is a red, soft or not.

Were we not quoted 40m? And that was before the Euros 🤔

Sorry, I mean was he any use last night!

Was he any use?

€50m release clause from my sources. Tasty.
