5 h. ago Naive Ange Postecoglou could be the least effective Premier League manager ever | Barney Ronay

At no stage did the Australian coach seem to understand the assignment he had been given at Nottingham ForestWell, the Chelsea fans were wrong anyway. Ange Postecoglou was not sacked in the morning. Instead he was sacked in the afternoon. So, another small win there for Ange, even in defeat. Not to mention further proof of the notion to which he has always seemed so fatally in thrall, that he is at any given moment the smartest guy in the room. Even when, as of Saturday afternoon, he’s no longer in the room at all.The official version seems to be that Postecoglou was fired 18 minutes after his final defeat at the City Ground. In reality he was fired in real time, a live-action televised touchline sacking, gone from the moment Evangelos Marinakis disappeared from his seat midway through the second half with the look of a gamekeeper required now to the wring the neck of a dying pheasant.

Winning the Premier League means the Dutchman can ride out the setbacks after making radical changes to his gameplanReplacing a legend is difficult. Even if that legend has lingered too long, even if he has stayed beyond the scope of his powers, coming next is an almost impossible job. David Moyes could not follow Sir Alex Ferguson. Unai Emery could not follow Arsène Wenger. Brian Clough could not follow Don Revie.When there has been a successful transition it has tended to come from within. George Allison continued Herbert Chapman’s work at Arsenal. Dave Mackay took the Derby Clough had built to another league title. Continue reading...

7 h. ago Leandro Trossard sinks Fulham to keep Arsenal riding high at top of table

This was a mechanical performance from Arsenal, but it was enough. Enough to beat Fulham, enough to avoid an unnecessary slip and enough for Mikel Arteta’s side to increase the pressure on Liverpool before the champions look to move past their slump when they host Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.It never came close to being beautiful. A goal from a corner was required to settle the contest, Leandro Trossard scoring in opportunistic fashion, and there was never any sense of Arsenal running away with it. They created little in open play and will perhaps be troubled by another uneven performance from Viktor Gyökeres, who returned from a troubled international break with Sweden and saw his goalless run for club and country run into a ninth game.
