Where an earth have you pulled this from?

I'm starting to think chic is still stranded in Antarctica, and chatGPT is operating his account in his absence.

Pretty sure it was reported that we tried to sign the lunatic but Lens quoted a silly price. Percy may have been the one to mention it.
Go back to your Saturday night drinking and apologise tomorrow when you confirm my apparent looney statement from A.I. central.
Chicago: Getting the blood pumping.

Calm it cave man.
It's definitely better players, partly because coops managed the period where a fair few of them had little experience, and he got them to the level. I still see no obvious signs that Nuno is a better coach than SSC. I think he's a decent coach, as you would have to be to survive at the level, whoever your friends are. The inspiration levels are definitely lower.
-
I think it wouldn't have got that far, surely at 17:00 he would have given it up as a bad job and gone to the pub.
-
Arguably that a pretty rose-tinted view of Cooper, IMHO. Nuno made an immediate difference from game 1 in terms of how well we kept the ball, scoring goals and points we picked up and the overall camp has definitely been more harmonious (we haven't had any of the Worrall or Shelvey type incidents for example). But I think they're both good managers, especially compared to people we have had before like Hughton, Montanier and the worn put version of MON.

Anyway, as everyone enjoyed the like-for-like comparison last season, first update for this season is that after 3 games we are 1 point ahead. (Last season - lost at home to Bournemouth, beat Sheffield away and drew at home to Wolves.)
Also, excitingly, as 19 of the teams in the league are the same as our first season back, can compare back to that one as well (with Ipswich replacing Leeds). The thrilling update there is that ... we are also 1 point ahead (lost at home to Bournemouth, won at Southampton, drew home to Wolves).
-
I can't (be arsed to) back this up with anything resembling meaningful actual data, so instead am simply invoking FACT!, that losing at home to So'ton has been a long since proven metric of shitness against which a level can be directly correlated.
I.e. lose at home to them and you are, obviously, toast (unless already safe, and even then you should probably willingly offer to relegate yourself as a matter of honour).

We are three games in and feeling melancholy? Bit extreme. Sure, The U.K. is going down the pan due to Rioting and the Ukrainian debt cycle but Man Citeh are going to be relegated, (once Pep leaves), Fester and Everton are facing impending points deductions allegedy and I think our play has been solid and way more entertaining to watch than in past years (As in Championship). It's not all bad. Liverpoo will be our bench mark. As Long as we don't get completely twonked then I think this season will be fun to watch. Anyway as you were....
Chicago: Sunny side up.
-
Speak for yourself, Chic. I’m not melancholy at all. 4 games in, undefeated, scored in each one, new players already settling nicely. Sure, we can get better - and I think we will. Even if we were to lose both the Liverpoo & Brighton games, we’d have 5 from 5; I’ll lay you money that wouldn’t be in the relegation zone.
We’re fine, with possibilities of being more than fine over the season as a whole.
-
I agree with most of that. The only thing I'm unsure of is what "we" means in this context anymore.
-
According to the stats nerds, Sangare has made the most successful tackles of any player in the Premier League so far this season.
-
This may be true but he still panics under pressure when he’s actually got to kick the thing. As evidenced by his ugly wafted ‘clearance’ that led directly to their goal in Saturday.
-
Are you sure? The stat I’ve seen is that he’s made the most tackles (15) - not the most successful tackles (he has 9). According to fbref, most tackles won is shared between Antonee Robinson and Fatuwa, both with 12.
-
I regularly make the most tackles. My first touch is that bad.
-
I don't have a first touch, I find it quicker to work in 10s but I make the fewest tackles because when I tackle I tackle proper.
