Unai Emery, Roy Hodgson and Gary O’Neil are showing that mid-season manager appointments can work. Chelsea genuinely might get relegated with theirs.While it can sometimes seem as though successful top-flight management is beyond the capabilities of English central midfielders who played in the Premier League during the mid-2000s, Gary O’Neil has taken the invert route of Messrs Gerrard, Lampard and even his Bournemouth predecessor Parker.
O’Neil is not close to the best manager in the league, and doubts remain over his long-term suitability to the post. But it feels absolutely fair to say that no-one could have done a better job for Bournemouth in the circumstances.Copying someone’s homework sounds easy and tempting enough but there will soon be problems if you don’t understand the sums. Chelsea can steal all the answers they want; only Brighton can show their working-out.
The sheer gravitational pull of a man born to stride Europa League touchlines has dragged Villa up to sixth and on the longest consecutive winning run of their Premier League history. Not even John Gregory’s title challengers could string five straight victories together at the height of their 20th century powers.
Diego Costa has helped restore pride in this side with his sheer force of personality and work-rate. Molineux has rarely witnessed a goal celebrated so joyously by the players or fans. At times this season, the first six words of that last sentence have worked perfectly well as its own separate point.
Roy Hodgson will almost certainly make it a fifth. And it would be a mistake to put his three wins, nine goals and one clean sheet in two weeks down solely to a fixture list which Patrick Vieira’s biggest supporters pointed towards with quizzical looks.
