    Back to the days of Ivic was my thought - farting around at the back to retain the ball, inviting pressure and eventually making mistakes because of that. I just can't understand why it's seen as tactically sound.

    We played within ourselves which can backfire but thankfully did not

    We will not be able to do that in the Prem

    The great thing about GT was that he rarely played a defensive game... great to watch and season on season it worked

    Maybe, but it is because of GT that England have not won anything in over 50 years. It is also because of him that England didn't win anything before 1966. It is also because of GT that the Xia dynasty in China fell in about 1600bc, that Queen Anne could not give birth to an heir that lived, and that Mrs Protheroe of 16 Almation Crescent, Bolton got blight on her apple tree.

    Not to mention that it's his fault Gary Lineker pooped on the pitch in a World Cup match in 1990 - and wiped his bum on the grass.

    I was having a look through his stats as manager and he either is made for it or has just been on a devishly good run.

    His stats:

    16 wins from 24 games - 66.66%
    51 points from 72 - 2.125 points per game
    37 scored 14 let in.

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/xisco.../1010/datum_zu/2020-12-20/datum_ab/2021-04-21

    IF we go up, he surely deserves to stay. But, there was the issue with his badges, wasn't there? As he only had a Blue Peter coaching badge or something. Has anyone heard any news on that?

    Do you think the Pozzos will keep him on if we go up? I am sure he wouldn't want to go over something like wage demands like Joka.

    Probably needs a senior experienced manager as a mentor like GT and Aidy did for a while

    I noticed those stats include the loss to Man U as he has only been in charge for 23 games in the league.

    So his win rate is:

    16 from 23 = 69.5% 3 draws and 4 losses.

    Goals for 37 against 13

    51 points from 69 - 2.217 points per game

    Not too shabby, hey!

    Just get the feeling that this man understands people in the same way that GT did.

    Surely has to be given a chance as the players like him.

    That might not happen with a new manager.

    Muñoz has now been in charge for 24 Championship games.

    Watford have won 17 of those 24 games (70.83% win ratio).

    The team has picked up 54 out of 72 points (2.25 points per game and 75% of total available points).

    Those statistics are quite remarkable - even though they may fall after the next two games.

    No. That was her. It rather fell apart , embarrassingly, at Stockport I think, where the management there wanted to present her with a bouquet they had bought. I think she stopped going after that !

    So there is someone who goes to all the games (like many ) but there was also some made up fan?
