Fantastic to hear!

Who’d have thought that a coach that clearly wants to be here, doesn’t throw players under the bus, plays attractive football and creates a happy environment would produce such positive results! 😂

What a breath of fresh air after sour faced wiggy!!

Yep the players must be buzzing, I bet the training ground feels like a different place now.

I even reckon that some of the players are happy that Kane isn't around anymore either and the leadership team has been broken up, much more togetherness now.

Apparently his idea comes from Puskas who was his manager, he got them from Jimmy Hogan. Hogan who comes from all places Burnley was the man who invented what became total football.

He went around Europe in the 30’s spreading his ideas. Got taken up by the Hungarians, Austrians and later the Dutch.

So it’s not he copied Pep but rather Pep and Ange followed the Dutch and Hungarians who all followed Jimmy Hogan. Quite a crazy story of a man who transformed football but yet is not well known

I'm just gonna make a quick "miserable cunt" post - we have played some really nice stuff so far, but if we were looking at our games from the perspective of a rival fan, we would say we have been quite fortunate as well. In each game so far teams have missed really good chances at key moments. We won't keep getting away with that.

Even yesterday, in a game we controlled, there was one for Bournemouth that may have changed the game.

But overall, there isn't much to complain about! New recruits look great, Ange has got the team playing better from game to game.

In every single Premier League game, opposition get chances. That's football. Yes, even Man City games.

I think we do very well to limit our opponents to half chances. I can't think of any chances Bournemouth had off the top of my head that really worried me. They did dominate a bit for 15 minutes of that second half but I never once thought we were in trouble.

We aren't going to dominate a game for 90 minutes without opponents getting some kind of chances. We just have to make sure we create as much as we can, take ours and limit theirs.

I agree, I'm just thinking if I was watching Woolwich play, I'd be thinking "These Jammy cunts, if xyz had buried that it would have changed the game" etc. We are definitely playing well, it's more of a tongue-in-cheek complaint I was making.

Yes, the worry is that against the bigger clubs like Woolwich, City and Liverpool - they create good chances at high volume and with much better players than those we've come against so far.

Man Utd did have some good chances. Fernandes header especially, but we pretty much limited them for 50 odd minutes whilst creating plenty for ourselves. Those bigger clubs aren't going to sit back against us so we should get chances.
