I stay away from almost all of it. Too much use of words like "could", "believed", "may". Non commital opinions and guess work rather than actual news.

Much like the Yoro injury that was "thought to rule him out for the season" only to then maybe be in contention for the game vs Brentford.

Its a smartphone ban. There are quite a few alternative "dumb phones" now.

I didnt go into as much detail, but I got to Carrick has been a but luckier.

Missed chances under Amorim that we are scoring under Carrick. Teams are missing chanced under Carrick where they would have gone in under Amorim.

Small margins make all the difference.

Adam Smith at Bournemouth

Ashley Barnes

Luke Shaw

Contradicting myself a bit there 😆

When i said luck, maybe I meant after having some decisions go against us the last couple weeks, some match altering events went our way last night, rather than against us.

We had more shots on goal, more possession and a higher average xG with under Amorim.

But Bruno in the #10 does make a massive difference

It does, I think Carrick has done well to refocus the players.

When there is a common goal, something to fight for, players will fight.

Carrick set the job for CL football, a short term objective.

I think we showed that under Amorim occasionally too.

Its in the players locker.

But the ability/willingness to play with intensity and resilience every single week is something that seperates good players from great.

The stats show that we averaged more possession under Amorim, had more shots under Amorim and had a higher average xG.

Ive enjoyed this run of results from Carrick, but I think luck has played a part, and I dont think its sustainable.

Results have improved under Carrick, but I think the biggest difference is luck.

There are games this season were Amorim was unlucky to lose/draw a game.

Carrick has got the rub of the green once or twice.

The performances have been largely similar, some good, some bad.

A few Amorim vs Carrick stats for the season.

Games won: RA 38%, MC 67%

Games lost: RA 24%, MC 17%

Games with most possession: RA 67%, MC 58%

Games with better xG than opposition: 62%, MC 42%

Average shots per game: RA 16.6, MC 13.5

That Garnacho performance was up there with Dembele at the World Cup. 💩

Massive result. Massive.

Lots of luck, but we were due some!

Doesnt seem like we want to try score a second goal.

He has in a middle 3. Would mean he is the only one playing out of position. Heaven obviously more natural on the left of a back 2.

For me, I think id go with Maz and Heaven in the middle.

Plus De Ligt.

Deane scored the 1st goal in the PL in believe

👑

5 at the back? It will never catch on.

Doesn't sound like a 15 minute half time to me. Are they going to break the laws of the game for this?

Next up, an announcement that half time will be 30 minutes long to account for the "halftime show".

I never really appreciated Chelseas fettish with Italian managers.

Sarri too, and I think he won the Europa?

Trophies.

Di Matteo won champs league. Conte prem, Ancelotti prem, Ranieri prem, Mancini prem.

I think Ancelotti won the FA Cup too.

Ranieri and Mancini.

Ah, i misread the question. Thought it was a 2 parter, so started with just the 7 Italian managers...
