Third game in a row I’ve enjoyed!
Said it in another thread, and maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I can't remember the time we've controlled a PL game against a decent team from start to finish like that since...maybe Poch?
We had some fantastic performances where we dominated games under Conte, Ange and even Mourinho, but I'm not sure I can recall many games where we controlled them for such extended periods. Conte and Jose were so anti-possession, while Ange's "100% all the time" approach guaranteed an element of chaos and little/no conventional game management.
Was a joy to behold. Now please do the same vs Leeds.
Real shame we didn't get 3 points against Brighton.
That was a good performance that deserved a win.

can we make that a smiley??? Pretty please
Weird feeling isn't it?
If he can keep us up he deserves £300m spending money and free rein to do whatever the fuck he wants to the squad.
Don’t want to hear a fucking peep from Lange or Vinai. Or ENIC for that matter. If we get bailed out it’s in spite of them. Be good little boys, take your medicine knowing that the financial hit you’re taking from a massive net spend is far, far better than the hit you’d have taken through relegation, pay the man, learn your fucking lesson.

I hope he does..and hope he carries on getting twatted every game.
Eventually the cult will wake up.

Yes and it’s coincided with a lot of posters on here making positive posts about our chances.
Still some that are negative or support Ange etc but the majority seem a lot happier including myself!!
Hardest job this week will be making sure all the players stay focused.
No better time than next Monday to secure a first home win this year in the PL.

I wasn't happy with his appointment. Nothing to do with his football philosophy, which is something I admire.
I just thought, and think, his volatile nature would cause huge problems and that he would not be a good fit in the medium to long term.
My concerns on the question of his volatility remain, but I am completely onboard with the turnaround in performances he has achieved thus far. We have real hope, now, of avoiding the drop and it is back in our own hands. Whatever happens in the last few games, he has given us hope and optimism again. At the end of a torrid season, that is really quite some achievement.

I suspect those who fondly remember Ange, if only for the Europa League, myself included, are fully on board with De Zerbi and what he is trying to do.
I fully agree.
My fear is that it'll be Muani and Palhinha on a permanent, plus some kids. Hope I'm very wrong.
If Forest had kept him another month they'd be down by now
I'm 100% with you.Going early but if we stay up and back this man and get a new medical department, we are winning the league next season!
1 game a week …..

Leicester nearly relegated the year before they won the PL...with an Italian boss!
Ange as his assistant and motivator?
Didn't get to the see the game bar 10 mins in the first half on a stop, but even then it was crazy to see the difference a press can make. Frank was a wet blanket, a coward, and utterly incompetent. Bents back also seemingly making a massive difference, to the point where selling him probably doesn't make much sense should we stay up.
But bloody hell. Unbelievable start so far, I had my doubts about the appointment, but I'll gladly have egg on my face should he keep us up.

I think his passion spills over into what is seen as volatile, i love that passion, so much better than the dull PE teacher we had the start of the season.
The only thing I'd change on that is lager to Football.
Maybe the date as well, he ain't that old!
