Scholesy – praise can only refer to the past though right? Jose has been praised for a great start and rightly so. We’re dominated by a world that seeks to conclude and define on a weekly basis and holding back praise until after a big game isn’t inline with the industry standard of game by game analysis. In reality we should just wait till the end of the season to see what happens and then dish out our summations. But, again, that’s not how the footballing world works.
The problem with waiting for the city game to decide whether or not to offer praise is that we might lose and then no praise is given which isn’t fair because it has been a great start.
Plus the City game is only another chance of 3 points in the view of the season as a whole it’s the same as Crystal Palace at home. Beat city and, no doubt, praise will be at an all time high. But losing to them shouldn’t take anything away from our good start to the season which Jose deserves praise for.
