It is good to hear that we set up to win every game regardless of opposition. Not saying it will happen but at least attempting to win is progress itself

Spoke well about the club and Pickford and also about EITC and the changes in makes in peoples lives which I thought was really nice . Seemed happy and ambitious, apparently quite friendly with mourinho which I didn’t realise .

Apart from Roberto, he's the only manager for about two decades to believe and prepare for success against the financially doped "elite" teams.

He will have a big advantage over Roberto any bottlers will be moved on relatively quickly.

His biggest advanatge over Roberto so far is that he doesn't have to play those two Quislings Baines and Jagielka.

Both players who got us to a 4th place finish under Moyes and were a key part of Bob’s best season - 5th.

If, as you say, he couldn’t keep them onside, it only reflects badly on his man management ability.

I don’t think Jags was part of that 4th place team and certainly Baines wasn’t.

Yeah, Morgan was a big hassle for Roberto, wasnt he?

Show the level of the discussion you guys are having.

Jagielka and Baines were signed years after we finished 4th.

Jags was a part of the great FA Cup run to the final in 09. He was arguably the best defender in the league that season.

The loss of him and Arteta was immesurable in regards to taking on Chelsea at Wembley.

Add in bad injuries to Yakubu and Anichebe who both never truely recovered, and a memorable season became one of what could have been.

Yes, that’s what I thought.

It's so refreshing to have a positive manager who wants to have a go no matter who we play, not like anyone else we have had since Kendall, possibly Roberto
