The Purple Patch

MACCA75

Player Valuation: £70m
Those 4 games that we won at the start of the season. We didn't really play great in any of them, but we managed to beat;

West Brom
Stoke
Sunderland
Boro.

Now most new managers provide a bounce in results - the honeymoon period as it is referred to. Those results have clouded people's view of this team for too long now.

If you disregard those games completely - and I think it is clear that we only achieved them when the players were trying to impress the new manager - then the stats are quite shocking. Disregarding the purple patch:

17 points from last 22 games
39 points from last 38 games.

This team will get us relegated, and we are sleepwalking right into it.

People still talk about 'the quality in our squad'. There is none. This is an utterly rotten group of players and it needs ripping up from top to bottom. That includes Coleman, Baines, Barkley and even Lukaku. All except Gueye tbh.
