Anyone who wasn't genuinely happy excited and enthusiastic after the first eight games can not be in love with the club. He seemed too good to be true. Then Sheffield United and Chelsea happened and a few of his decisions really jarred. He then faced an array of coaches who had a look under the hood positionally at what he was doing. They pretty quickly countered it and he seemed unable to respond.
Then the injuries started to build and the bizarre muddled frankly odd treatment of certain players began to infuriate me. Romero, Maddison, Sarr, Forster Austin, Whitman, DJED SPENCE. And it got strange because any legitimate concern was drowned by fans from Melbourne, or fans from Glasgow who assured then insisted then raged, we must have faith this always happens then you become unstoppable. But all I could see was imbalance poor resource management favouritism poor subs and inflexibility.
Truth is the remaining conclusions lasted way longer than the early impressions. I've seen a big enough data set now to see the average. This isn't going to sweep the EPL away. The mans been over promoted. I suspect in the summer Iraola gets approached and Ange never returns to this level again.
