It's sad to see Dean go to be honest, he brought a spark back to the club that had been missing for far too long, and more importantly for me personally meant my son's first villa park experience was with the ground buzzing.
I guess we now see the extent of the owners ambition with this appointment.

TRO will downplay his team, but Moyes's Hammers are more than a decent team.

It will go wrong with injuries, as Arsenal are benefitting from no Euro games.

Have not checked for accuracy, but seems legit:
Most Premier League Points in 2021:
- Manchester City (83)
- Chelsea (67)
- West Ham (65)

So looking from another angle.
4 weeks ago, most Arsenal fans had decided Arteta had to go, he had no plan A, or B.
Now Ole is presiding over the worst team ever to Grace the Prem, and yet after almost a third of the season the world best two Managers are only 5 and 6 points ahead of them. Chelsea who are now only a matter of weeks from running away with the league can’t get past Burnley at home and are 3 points ahead of a David Moyes side.
He might not turn it around and we have been absolutely shite for the last four home matches, but it seems anything can happen this year, and nobody has a safe job anymore.

As they say in cricket, momentum, as they say in politics, optics. Arse had a shite start, they were in disarray, their covid thing didn't help. Arsenal's test will come when they get beaten again, as they surely will.

My perspective is that the analysis needs to extend beyond the result. I read article upon article slagging people off for daring to suggest that Ronaldo wasn't part of the solution, but part of the problem at United. But the analysis looked at the result not the team performance. Even the most ardent United fan will freely admit bar (I think) the Leeds result, they have rode their luck.
United (in my opinion) have a great squad, but let down by the manager and his (lack of) tactics.
Similarly Chelsea only drew to Burnley on Saturday, but deeper analysis would suggest that Burnley rode their luck and possibly 99 times out of 100 they would have lost that game.
It's all a game of opinions. If Chelsea, Liverpool and City are favourites for the top four.... who will be the fourth club?
West Ham
Manchester United
Tottenham
Arsenal
