We had Thomas Tuchel second last year, so who have we doomed with a high showing in 2022's top 10 Premier League bosses?
Howe and Arteta shake up Liverpool-City hegemony in F365’s top 10 Premier League managers of 2022Another year of Premier League football been and gone, is it? Now of course a calendar year is in no way a meaningful thing in football, where the passage of time is quite rightly measured in seasons rather than some daft January-December Gregorian calendar gibberish.
The disastrous start to the season already feels like a necessary palate-cleansing and there appears to be genuine reason for long-term optimism about United again, which hasn’t really been the case for an alarmingly long time now.The most vibes-based team in the league, Palace manage to feel far more entertaining than a record of five wins, four draws and five defeats, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded, would ever suggest.
Forty-five points from 35 games across 2022 is solidly mid-table form and most pleasingly there has been no evidence whatsoever of second-season syndrome after such an impressive first season in the top flight. Comparisons with Leeds last season and Sheffield United the season before are immensely favourable for Frank and Brentford, who have lost the same number of Premier League games this season as Spurs, Manchester United and Liverpool.
And this season has been, on paper, absolutely fine as well. They’re fourth in the league, which is fine, and they won their Champions League group, which is also fine. But the way they’ve gone about being fourth in the league and the way they went about winning their Champions League group just hasn’t ever been convincing, has it?
Essentially we just enjoy modern football’s point-blank refusal to give anyone else any credit ever unless it is absolutely impossible to avoid. Klopp’s Liverpool are actually an excellent example of that; he delivered the thing Liverpool fans craved above all else – a first league title since 1990 – yet have a quick look around online to see how that achievement is described as ‘only one Premier League title’ or similar in discussions of Klopp’s Liverpool reign.
