I didn’t say our goal was lucky, it was excellent, which included players in the move, who some think they aren’t good enough previously.
Liverpool had an expected goal rating of 4.3, which is based on good chances they had. They were battering us in the second half, but we held out for a change.
Lets see how we get on against a tired W Ham on Sunday.

I'm not sure Villa would agree with you. Compare the headless Villa under Gerrard and how they quickly became under Emery.

The best managers not only get the team playing better, they improve individual players.

The worst managers can easily turn a smooth-running Rolls Royce into a clapped out Ford and leave individual players confused and questioning their own abilities. Look what happened to Birmingham City when Rooney was brought in.

It should be remembered that both Vieira and Hodgson did well in their initial period. The wheels came off later.

There was clearly a problem with Vieira that has not been made public, and Roy had the discussed injuries.

Glasner might do very well initially but it is a sustained period of form that he needs to achieve. That will be achieved with a stronger squad.

A good manager is one that can take a badly performing team and make it perform without too many changes.
or one that can effectively implement his ideas, so long as he has the players that are able to implement his style.

The Best Managers Transition a squad from one that does not suit their style to one that does without too much impact on pitch.

The Elite managers continue to transition their squad whilst changing staff and attitudes change over time.

OG has taken a largely underperforming side, found a system that would work with his squad, and identified, and gone out and filled the largest gap(s) he needed for it to be successfully applied. (i.e. Munoz). How he's achieved that is a big tick for me.
Much work left to do, but the signs are good.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

He did, Glasner accepted the managers job in September 2023, and was due to take over at the end of the season, but due to Roys, Illness/poor form, he agreed to start earlier.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

We were tracking Wharton for more than a year. Munoz, I accept may well have been looked at on Glasner's recommendation.
