Postecoglou has Tottenham fans believing again, Eddie Howe rolls the dice, Chelsea are in trouble, and we need to talk about Erling Haaland
as Pep Guardiola attempts to make them more controlled and efficient. That largely went out the window against West Ham because City were chasing the game for a while. Fun fact: bar the final-day defeat at Brighton, when Guardiola had at least one eye on the Champions League, this was the latest in a league game that City have taken the lead since March 11.
You witness it in the celebrations to Dejan Kulusevski’s goal, when ten outfield players run hither and thither and the goalkeeper sprints 100m to get involved. Behind the goal, an entire stand thrashes with one another. They can not pretend that they thought this would happen, but they can promise that they are enjoying it more this season than during most. Thirty minutes later, they still gather at bars and on the concourses, singing the same songs.
It is working because the manager understands that the supporters matter. Postecoglou wants them to run wild in their celebrations because joy is the point of the whole silly exercise. He knows that they can make a positive difference and he knows that he will need them when it goes awry, which at some point it has to.
This honeymoon is not ending anytime soon. Come through the north London derby undefeated next weekend and this relationship may well be built to last.Liverpool are the comeback kings of the Premier League. At the end of last season they conceded first against West Ham and won, conceded first against Aston Villa and trailed Southampton by two goals before drawing. So far this season, nine of their 13 league points have come from losing positions.
