So to clarify. Employing an ex player with little experience is a bad idea unless it's arteta who is below both ole and Lampard in the league......Lampard was a bad appointment, just like Ole has been at Utd. You don't give former players time to learn on the job at top clubs unless you're settling for mediocrity or playing the lottery.
The table at the moment is very fickle, it's a weird season. Chelsea have dropped 14 points in 6 games which is crazy. I still think they've got the players to finish Top 4.
City still didn't impresss me too much today, better side yes but a slow start and they look to have no indentity. Bizzare formation that won't work long term. Untill they get a world class striker they won't win a thing.
Really impressed by Arteta to bring himself back from a true crisis, trust youth and move forwards. He's such a good manager he just needs backing. You can't run a club when your highest earner is on the sofa having a laugh. It destroys the morale. He needs to bin Ozil, Pepe, Xhaka and a few others. Arsenal are years away from challenging anyway.
And for Utd.....can't even comment. Never seen such a high quality squad playing so badly and having so much luck. Still a counter attacking side that let Villa run the game at home and got lucky with a dodgy penalty. After being second best to Wolves and getting lucky with a deflection. A side joint top and their number 9 gets his first goal from open play in January
