Thoughts @Alan Pardew ?

I haven’t seen the incident so I don’t want to comment on it. He got sacked and The King didn’t. That’s all I have to say right now at least. Currently debating these prats on the talkSPORT YouTube comments section about the penalty shout yesterday at the Liv-Man C game so you’ll have to excuse me. See ya later lads.

There's loads of reasons to want it to be true and the top one isn't even how shit Southgate would be there. It's that it would prove straight away that owld J-Rat ain't got the first fucking clue what he's doing.

Looks like Alonso is going to stay at Leverkusen. Fair play to him.

 

Things you love to, but very rarely these days, see.

 

I reckon Liverpool were desperate for him to join them. Interesting to see who they target now. RDZ?

Another German manager I think.   
 

They’ll want someone that has managed a decent league and European campaign.  Like a Nagelsmann.  


Possibility, especially with the uncertainty around him staying as German national coach

Whoever they bring in is likely to be a step down. Hoping for a collapse similar to when Wenger left Arsenal

There's a certain merit in it though.

 

Stats aren't everything of course but at the same time they do help paint a picture of where things could be had the dice settled differently. 

 

You can do all the right things but still lose on the day. It's the nature of the game. People say it's a results game and it is but at times you need to be able to look past the results and stick with a manager when things aren't going too well if you think the underlying job is good. 

 

This works the other way round too. Think of us every time we thought Pardew was under pressure and he'd pull out a series of wins. And that fluke 5th season. He deserves a certain amount of credit for it but we could all see it was a statistical anomaly for us to end where we did. 

 

See also West Ham and Moyes. The European win was great for them in terms of a trophy but they've been naff beyond that for some time but it's hard to bin a manager when he's won you something. 

 

West Ham are one of this seasons over performers in terms of xPTS. 

 

To claim they "should be 4th" is obviously silly. The league isn't going to end with everyone where they "should" be and would be boring if it was. Understat has them 6th fwiw. And us at 5th. 

 

Biggest over performers are Man Utd who should be 11th. If they were actually down there ETH would be gone by now. And arguably he should be already but their current league position is masking where they are.

I’m not disagreeing with the idea that stats can indicate longer term trends that results don’t necessarily show. I actually agree that Chelsea, in the second half of the season, have looked a lot better. I just think coming out and putting it in those terms will do him no favours with Chelsea fans and it feels incredibly defensive and desperate

Yeah agreed. There's certainly a way to articulate it and it wasn't that.
