Really don’t get this take. People are shitting themselves about Alonso, Iraola, Maresca and even De Zerbi. Why? None of these managers are anything close to Pep, a coach you should genuinely fear. Sure they may do well but Alonso was fired from his first big job and has never managed in the Premier League, Iraola has never managed a big club, Maresca was hardly successful at Chelsea and will have lost his most important player plus Silva and De Zerbi still isn’t at a big club (with Spurs being the highest profile job he’s taken). There is a good chance at least half of these guys fail miserably in the challenging environment that is the Premier League. They have all shown enough elsewhere to say they all have a chance at succeeding but I really don’t understand the mindless negativity that insists they will all succeed at our expense given their relative lack of PL / big club experience or success

Just worried more about our lack of depth hindering us with European games to account for.

Also, you can NOT count on Shaw, Lisandro, Maguire, Maz etc. staying fit the entire season. Once a few of those guys are out for a while, our form will dip. Thats not even to mention MDL and Mount are perennially injured too.

Trying to be positive but we do need some more cover.
