They didn't go unbeaten for that long again, so they didn't repeat that same consistency. Then they fell off a cliff next season.
We've won a heap of games at home in the last 15 minutes, dont see what round 20 has anything to do with it, we've overun far better sides than them.
I'm honestly surprised you wouldn't consider winning 7 games in a row at the start of a season to be a new manager bounce. Especially when we saw what happened to them the following season where they completely fell off a cliff.Look at their form, tell me how the fek is that a bounce.
They went on a run at the start of the season, lost form for a few matches then picked up form again, a bounce would indicate that they performed well for the first few months then dropped form throughout the season
How long do you think bounces last for?
The irony is that you can apply that bounce term to Ange's first season with us more than Emery's season with them
I don't remember which journalist that said it. But we've kind of had the opposite season to what everyone was expecting.
they were going to be relegated! a point is no good to them. they had to come out and win. they take a point halfway through the season.
Just because they settle for a point it doesnt mean they get it.
high chance they do considering we cant break down teams that sit deep.
Didn't draw one game at home this season.
I have plenty of criticisms of this team but this is a strange hill to die on considering how many games we've won late where teams are sitting back. Go look at how many goals we've scored after the 80th minute at home, pretty much all of them match winning goals, all against teams parking the bus, probably only exception being Brighton who we caught on the counter.
I'm not trying to be disingenuous, the bounce was just a throwaway comment I made as a potential explanation for why they might've finished 5th. I didn't even check their results when I posted it. Maybe it was the reason, maybe not. I don't know where they would've finished without it.
ive watched enough minutes with us having kulu/johnson/son as a front 3 and us never looking like scoring if a teams parked up. needed defenders to score the goals today.
I wonder if we need a proper competition/understudy for Son on the left too given how little we've seen of Solomon and that we probably won't sign Werner and Gil won't ever mature to a PL player
