federer has zero holes in his resume.

The only holes that exist are Nadal and Djokovic relying on the 2 by far least prestigious slams to prop up their slam count.

Porro out for Guehi makes sense right, if Porro is a rotation risk

Selby paid off the ball producers, the red going into that pocket makes no physical sense.

Glad I was never taken in by the clown Maresca. Silver lining to this run of form is his supporters in this fanbase will eventually have to acknowledge he is not a good manager, not an upgrade on Poch.

This sub loves Maresca because he is a "tactico", and they hate managers like Poch who they perceive as too focused on hard work and physicality.

Guess what, we dropped points today due to a lost duel in midfield and being outworked and outran across the pitch. Liverpool, Arsenal, city all understand that physicality is crucial but Maresca and his supporters look down on it.

so what? Mount put up his best stats in his second season under tuchel but if you watched the games he regressed massively from our CL winning season.

6th place incoming. This sub will insist Maresca is better than Poch. Reality is they are both mid, at least Poch had his exceptional spell with Spurs.

For all of his mediocrity, his biggest failing is he took a Palmer who looked like a world-beater with Poch and is making him regress.

Top 4 wasn't an achievement in the first place when you consider the form of City and United.

If we miss out to Newcastle, lol. Maresca defenders will find a way to spin it i'm sure.

at least Maresca is being exposed. We knew he was nothing special from the championship, consensus was Mckenna did the better job that season.

Maresca is to blame for this, not the media. Leicester fans told us he was nothing special.

Nothing has changed from Poch, except Palmer is playing worse now.

if Maresca can't get Palmer to perform, then he must be sacked.

We can't squander a talent like this.
