Performances like that were built on our ability to squeeze the life out of teams and not let them play. The pressure just rose and rose until they cracked.
I think we’re gonna be pretty Wenger-y under Fonseca, which has its merits, but you need really good players to escape mid-table playing that way in today’s PL. Naivety is punished harshly in this league.
If Levy had any ambition, he would just pay it. Imagine City trying a stunt like this to save a million or two
Loved those days, nothing better than knowing that the opposition can only keep us out for so long and they will eventually blow up...then going to Mourinho who preferred trying to bore them into submission...
Think you may be right. Thing is, we do have good players, better than Woolwich had in the last 10 years of Wenger's reign. However who knows if they will give 100%.
Gattuso is FAR WORSE than Fonseca.
Is this a joke?
Is this a joke?
Levy taking his trolling to another level here, leak the news that some nobody who no-one wanted will be the new manager, leave it long enough for despair to turn to resignation, even some naive optimism, then pull the rug right out from under...
I bet this is part of the ploy to make Fonseca's announcement more palatable, pretend that it's fallen apart and make us worry about what clown we will go for instead, then boom, announce Fonseca and everyone is over the moon!
Gattuso is very underrated. He would also KILL our primadonnas.
Surely someone’s head will have to roll over this managerial appointment circus? It’s genuinely gone way beyond a joke now. Utterly incredible.
In his first full season in charge, Milan missed out on Champions League by 1 point, finishing 5th on 68 points.
On 28 May 2019, he departed Milan by mutual consent.
On 23 May 2021, the final day of the league, Gattuso was unable to secure a fourth place finish for Napoli after a 1–1 home draw with Verona, finishing in fifth one point below Juventus which won 4–1 over Bologna, granting Juventus qualification to the following season's Champions League instead; Gattuso was sacked from his managerial position the same day.
On 25 May, Fiorentina announced the appointment of Gattuso as their new head coach, effective from 1 July 2021. On 17 June, Gattuso left the club due to a dispute between the two parties regarding player investment and the involvement of Gattuso's agent, Jorge Mendes.

Paratici to be sacked before he's even started?
Incredible. Just as I was warming up to the idea of Fonseca. Still, would love Rino Gattuso here. Extremely underrated and underappreciated at both Milan and Napoli. Makes the players feel like part of a family, while also being ruthless with players he deems surplus to requirements, and is very good tactically.
What in the flying fuck are we doing????
Don't know whether to laugh or cry!
