In Portuguese, obrigato means obligatory, obrigado means thank you. Something lost in translation?

Very funny and i dont think. All these incompetent managers told them to give the ball away all day long. Told all the cowards in the team to be afraid of heading the ball and to make individual mistakes every bloody game. Told to overhit or underhit every cross they put in. Thats if you ever beat a man Jack! You are utterly deluded if you think all our woes for the last few years are all due to poor managers. Probably only 3 or 4 of this whole squad who would last under Moyes. Do you actually watch the games?

This is a genuinely horrible, wilfully argumentative take.

After just 2 weeks under Moyes, the willingness to pass forward, the calmness of the finishing and the pressing from the front were night and day compared to Dyche.

I do take your point about individual errors but top flight footballers don’t collectively become that bad overnight; a combo of horrendous/no tactics and what I can only assume to be a massive lack of confidence in what they were being asked to do had a lot to do with that. We’re defo still shaking off the cobwebs from our 2 years in the darkness but the proof has very much been there thus far, that good coaching makes all the difference.
