Was thinking yesterday, has there even been a case of a player or manager that looked like they were no longer up to standard and then actually turned it around?
I'm not talking about a dip in form, more like something that lasts for over a year or maybe two. People like Moyes, Alexis Sanchez, Gotze, even Mourinho to an extent.
When Moyes goes to a club almost everyone can see it's only going to go one way. Why he's even hired is another question but is there anyone who's actually looked dead and buried and managed to revive themselves?
Also what seems to cause this? How can someone like Moyes who had such a formidable Everton team for so many years look so pathetic now? Is it just the times moving on and him not being able to adapt? Mourinho probably had his job at Spurs saved by the pandemic as they were looking awful before it and we'd have surely beaten them on form back then.
The only one I can think of is maybe Hodgson who looked horrendous at Liverpool but has turned Palace into a really good side now and has a lot of respect back.
