And let's remember we almost beat an in form Brighton but for a Danso moment of tiredness and Leeds needed a Tel brain fart to grab a pen. Even the first game against Sunderland was only decided by a deflected shot.
All with a squad who were on the floor.
No wide player scored close to that in the prem this season i don't think.
Agree with the sentiment but we need to be realistic
They used to didn’t they until the league turned into the turgid shit we watch every week?
Son did. We never replaced him.
I hear you and agree..... I mean.... this season has been terrible for wide players scoring especially.
Exactly. We need to build for what the standard was, not for the levels of this Gooner-led bore fest.
And it will be not the second league!!!No, my friend, next year we win the league.
At long last we are going to start next season with a decent manager who has had a bit of time now to assess what he has and a window in front of him to do do something about it. He has some credit in the bank with fans and a board who know they have to back him. He looks like he is up for the challenge and you can see he is proud to be in charge of such a big club. Pleas, pretty please, let’s give him time
"Stupid people forget the past"
"There is no time to go on holiday"
Honestly, hook this shit into my veins

This.
The fact he has saved us from relegation should keep the naysayers off his back when things are not going completely right.
It does seem a great turning point, we really did hit a low as a club being in the position we were but he has turned it around and this should generate a good atmosphere going into next season.
Looking at what he has achieved with these players in just a few weeks imagine what he can do with a whole pre season .
With some strong additions and this guy coaching them has me genuinely looking forward to next season .
And I had already written next season off .

Romero is gone, Tel is one of the 12 guys and so is Danso.
With no Maddison (well very little), Kudus, Kulusevski, Odobert, Xavi Simons. Our attack completely fucked from injury. Imagine De Zerbi with a fit attack.
I've begun to think, and the League being won by that dreadful Woolwich side backs this up I think, that football is just a bit shit now.
Look through the announced WC squads too, they're just boring. List after list of players that offer no excitement whatsoever.
After all of the division we've seen in the fan base over the last few years, we appear to finally have someone that we can all unite behind.
Our board needs to be receiving a barrage of communication from us fans, DEMANDING that they back him with the recruitment needs to put us back up there challenging for top honours. Not just CL qualification, top honours.
We've got a taste of it from last season, we've just had a taste of the other end of the spectrum.
Never again should we be in this situation.
This one feels right. I can’t explain it.
I get proper Poch era vibes from him.
I liked Ange to start with, but it didn’t feel ‘right’ - I can’t explain it. I remember saying to my Dad leaving the stadium when Kulusevski scored THAT goal vs Sheff United to turn it around ‘this isn’t a sustainable way to be successful’
Frank wasn’t the right man. We all knew it deep down after those first few pressers.
De Zerbi though. Just has a bit about him. Got that fire I like, but with the tactical know how.
He said he’s got a team in his head he dreams of. I hope to fuck he has it in August.

This has been one of the huge bonuses with him coming in when he did.
What would concern me is this is exactly what we thought with Conte. One shit summer window later when clearly promises hadnt been kept then he'd lost interest. Both volatile Italians that expect high standards not being palmed off with make do and mend squad fodder.
