Incredible article. To be honest, I was a bit upset by the headline and as a massive fan of Oles work I was simply expecting to find a lot of the rubbish that has already been posted in the last week or so. But you found a new angle and a very interesting one at that.

What puzzles me is simply why and how? How can we go from having such a good defence to such a horrible one? Yes, Shaw and Maguire are not up to their usual standards but other than that - what is going on?

Really hoping for a massive performance on Saturday. You hit the spot about us probably looking back realising the grass probably weren’t greener in a few years - right now though the arguments against that are wearing thin.

Loved this article Paul.

What further worries me is if he gets results against Spurs and Atalanta, which is very likely (and this is not to say I want him to lose), the board will decide to keep him and another season will go down the drain because let’s face it, he’s not at the level of his competition. Also Sir Alex Ferguson protecting him and needing to be at a CArrington was a bad look in my view, like OGs can’t hold his own. Also SAF by sticking up for him, is holding the team back. I wouldn’t mind a Conte for two or three years because Ik he could come in this season and get the team challenging. Under Ole, that’s not going to happen. The players don’t have faith in his tactics. Sad times.

That's it. I was also shocked by the XI he started against Liverpool, it made no sense whatsoever.
