Performance has been good. Really unlucky to concede, imo.

Lol at the Chadli for Dier sub actually working out

Unreal. Chadli's goal was awesome too but it's gonna be forgotten after that.

Yeah I was scratching my head after that sub, but he put in a hell of a shift.

Bilic is top 3 coach in EPL at the moment if not the best.

Opinions are opinions and I'm fine with you guys holding Bilic in such high esteem, he's obviously a very astute manager

But man, only on the RealGM soccer board is Guardiola reviled and Slaven Bilic is the second coming of christ

Mourinho wrote a six-page letter to Man United?

Man United should do it asap before Van Gaal f*cks up that CL spot. The top 4 atm already have already created a gap and you have Liverpool and West Ham right behind.

Dele sandwich with the worldy, good god the kid is impressive.

Wanted to take a second to complain, again, about EPL coverage in the states. I recorded the Tottenham match, which was listed as Tottenham v. Crystal Palace on my guide, then wake up and it turns out I recorded 2 hours of CSI on USA's HD channel. Honestly what the ****. **** like this has happened all year, probably going to buy a VPN then get a Sky subscription.

Because he did great job with Croatia, Besiktas and West Ham. Not like Pep who only coaches teams that are 10x better and having 100x more money than other teams in the domestic competition. Maybe that's why?

Huh, it was on USA here.

But I agree. For the amount NBC is paying to host coverage of the BPL it is pretty lackluster.

What did he do that's so great? He got 3rd place twice with Besiktas. Completely failed with Lokomotiv Moscow. Nothing special with Croatia or West Ham. He is a good man and a decent coach but not great.

"Nothing special with West Ham". Hilarious. Did you think West Ham would challenge for CL before the start of th season?

West Ham is not challenging for CL. Special is what Leicester is doing. Or if West Ham had 6-7 more points right now.

I agree. I mean, he's done well to get that awful team out of the bottom half and actually playing football though. Payet is also a great signing.

If we're talking about overrated managers though, how about Roberto Martinez? He currently has a very talented Everton team languishing in the bottom half. Again.
