So fecking what? We play Newcastle in the Carabao Cup who for a large part of this season have been in the top 4. Barcelona had a bad start, same as us, but so far Xavi has developed a very good team and I'd reckon they'd whoop most CL teams easily. They've already beat Madrid twice this season and Atletico once. Your logic seems incredibly flawed to me.
It's ridiculously flawed. Doesn't take into account that yesterday was our 15th game of 2023, and it was played on 23 February. That's fecking ludicrous, and I'm surprised at the level of performances some of our lads are putting in, as they must be wrecked.
Barca have conceded 7 goals all season in La Liga, and we put 4 past them over 2 legs. ETH has had just over half a season and is generally still starting matches with 8 or so players from previous managers. The level of performances he has gotten out of this group is unbelievable.
Ole got stick because literally after his initial interim run, we looked absolutely horrible until Bruno arrived. Our football never looked sustainable under him, as we failed to control games, and were using out-dated tactics. We never hit the levels of football under him that we've seen under ETH. People must have short memories because the football we've played this season, looks a different sport to the one that was served up last season.
ETH hasn't even had a full season, and he has instilled a winning mentality and galvanised the whole club. Nitpicking utter shite to complain about to paint Ole in a better light is extraordinary stuff, it really is.
