100%.
Half of us expected him to not be much cop. The other half wanted a recovery and the possibility of top four.
Who gives a shit if Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs are shit. We've been better than them on our own merits.
Will we get top 4?
Agreed. I mean it’s fair for Dozer to point out that our points total isn’t great and we all know we’ve been absolutely slaughtered several times this season. I’m not 100% convinced that Ten Hag is the messiah. But I like what I see in terms of tactics, style, and man-management. At the very least, he has us trying to play the modern style of football that all the top teams play.
And he’s done it while inheriting a train wreck of a squad. Nothing but respect is due if you ask me.bman2 wrote: ↑1 year agoAgreed.

Top four should be fairly safe now, but I'm worried about the next three games. Spurs, Villa, and Brighton -- all teams that on their day can pose problems to us, and two of those are away games. If we get bad results in these three games, we'll put a lot of pressure on ourselves. On the other hand, if we manage to beat Spurs, that would be great.
Nice that we can just focus on the league for once, with the FA final so far off.

Bruno crocked too. Wearing a protective boot and on crutches.bman2 wrote: ↑1 year ago Top four should be fairly safe now, but I'm worried about the next three games.

Beat Spurs Thursday and we’re pretty much there. And they looked a shambles yesterday but they’ve binned off their interim so there may be a reaction.
We looked bereft of ideas without him against Sevilla. All about backing Ten Hag to find a solution yet again.JoelfuckingGlazer wrote: ↑1 year ago Bruno crocked too. Wearing a protective boot and on crutches.

Becoming a theme of the season. Crisis followed by something creative from Ten Hag. So nice having a coach who is capable of it.
Yeah, I’m disappointed that Bruno isn’t getting the goals and assists he did when he first joined us, but it’s also obvious that we’re shit in attack without him, so he’s definitely still playing a vital role. I’m not sure why he’s not scoring as much as before.

The fact Bruno is injured shows the madness of the fixtures this season, and the mid season world cup. Prior to this he's only had one physical injury in his entire career - and he's 28.
