Last night WBA reminded me of us under Manning.

Their manager was completely out of his depth against PC who tactically is light years ahead. The changes made at half time to nullify the last ten minute improvement of WBA in the first half were spot on. Cordoba’s physicality to improve our defence of high balls into the box and Slimane to link play in the final third. It’s difficult not to compare PC with DF but at the moment I think the revival under PC is unrivalled in my fifty years as a fan.
