Eh, it’ll die down when they start losing.
The weird one is some of our fans using him being good at a different club to ‘prove’ he wasnt that bad for us.
He’s a phenomenal manager when he’s got a team that can be underestimated, where people will play their usual game against them and he can set up to counter that. When he’s expected to win and other teams change their plans specifically to counter him and don’t allow his teams space to …counter… he’s not as good.
He’s been a God at every team he’s been in cahrge of bar the two big clubs he’s been given and it just wasn’t to be with us.
I’ll give him one thing, he seems to have learned from his time here and doesn’t panic so much when his team goes 2 up. Back then he would almost always make a defensive sub, now he is a bit more confident in his team. Glad he`s doing well, the dude was all class and genuinely worked hard, it just didn’t work for him here.
It’s probably because teams operate differently against him at Villa.
At Arsenal he thought he could get away with defending as we had all the posession, at Villa almost everyone attacks him so his defensive solidity is built in from the start and they play for the counter, whih to be fair they’re superb at this season.
