Who’s the most underrated Premier League manager right now? 👀

[@bujuk__bujuk]

Pep!

[@nicodiangelo7051]

There were people predicting Liverpool to be out of top 4 too. People were saying slot would be sacked by Christmas and Liverpool would be mid table… let’s not discredit slot too

What phase is Arne Slot in? What phase is Enzo Maresca in?

[@ioniums]

Slot, Nuno and Maresca in that order also shout out Iraola

[@Logicsupersedes]

How has slot done a better job than maresca? Just break down the logic for me. Maresca took chelsea from 6th to 2nd and slot took Liverpool from 3rd to 1st. It goes nuno, maresca, slot. In that order.

[@Logicsupersedes]

Just for further perspective: Last season points totally - Forest 32 Chelsea 63 Liverpool 82 This season if it finishes at current rate of points per game Forest 67 Chelsea 81 Liverpool 91 So nuno has had forest more than double their points tally with 35 more points. Maresca has increased chelsea's by 18 points. And slot has added another 9 points onto Liverpools.

[@ioniums]

@@Logicsupersedes Unbeaten in UCL, top of the league with a game in hand, and literally beat him head to head? Also basically had zero new transfers.

[@Logicsupersedes]

​@@ioniumsOK so if "beat him head to head" is your logic then hands down nuno wins. Thanks, mate. Nuno took a team that finished one place above the relegation zone up to 4th, and beat slot "head to head" - at anfield (apparently home advantage doesn't count as an advantage for slot in his h2h with maresca, also the only game that slot claims Liverpool were outperformed over the majority of the game)

[@Logicsupersedes]

​@BasicallyVaderI suggest you go watch his press conference again. Literally last week he said that Chelsea were the only team they've played where he felt they outperformed Liverpool over the majority of the game. A game you claim Liverpool dominated. So, either slot is wrong, or you're wrong. I'll let you decide. P.S that one game he lost was against nuno, they guy that took forest from 17th to 4th. With 4 points less than they accumulated all last season.

Either Nuno or Enzo. Both of them walked into a dire situation with squads all over the place. Forest were battling relegation last season and Chelsea were 13th, and they’re now 2nd. People saying Slot need to take off the rose tinted glasses and accept that he walked into a new managers dream scenario.

[@crypticalibi]

But saying Enzo didn’t is crazy, 2 almost 3 squads that are capable in being a prem side… sure mention 13th but their form towards the end of last season showed the structure was back sure to be 2nd or win the league I know very little but the amount of people who put them in ucl spots is not little at all, so to say manager of the season over a 2 place gap really when two of what was meant to be title contenders performing poorly is nothing to brag about. Nuno is the only real option so far for manager of the season imo.

[@BarneyChilman]

Arne slot has been outstanding

[@ElonBlack1999]

Arne slot he's currently cooking EPL and UEFA champions league

[@BSMAG87]

He's been great but he also inherited an excellent squad and it's their experienced world class talent that is proving the difference between them and say a Chelsea. I'd say it's between him, Nuno and Maresca, but the other two have arguably overachieved more than him (anyone doubting Liverpool's squad before the season began needs to give their head a wobble because there was talk of a quadruple at one point last season lol)

[@Discombobulate453]

@@BSMAG87 yeah they’ve also been the jammiest team in the league this season too. Multiple VAR errors, players avoiding nailed on red cards, penalties, whilst getting awarded them at the other end. And the Scousers have the gall to claim there’s still an agenda against them.

Definitely Maresca. He came into a club that everyone said 1billion wasted, Caicedo, Enzo, Jackson, Cucurella are all flops, long contracts, nobody will want to work hard, absolute chaos, 70 players, 15 goalkeepers, now they are doing well and everyone changes their tune to "well its expected of them". Slot came in to a ready built team that Klopp left him, he inherited what many have argued as some of the best GK, CB, RB, LB and RW in Premier League history.

[@AsdaStrelley]

Nuno has taken a team that finished 17th to 4th its not even comparable.

[@Exodus_Gaming7]

Maresca? Lol Chelsea were best last season after half season and Chelsea Couldn't beat Top 6 Clubs this season, I don't think he did Big thing. Nuno took relegation side to Top 4 and Slot Built very solid Team

[@BasicallyVader]

Your first sentence explains why he shouldn’t be top. He walked into a £1 billion team… anyway slot is unbeaten in UCL, top if prem, has only lost 1 game in 24 games, dominated Madrid, city, Chelsea, Leverkusen, etc…

[@DJ-ip8so]

1. Nuno - 4th with Forest is impressive considering many had them as relegation candidates. 2. Slot - Exceeded many peoples expectations who were unfamiliar with him, many Liverpool fans were underwhelmed with his appointment at the start of the season, also you have to consider how common it is for the next manager to fail after following a legendary manager. 3. Iraola - Punching far above their weight while taking points from big teams, also the underlying stats suggest they should be even higher.

[@preethamhazard]

And is Maresca managing in the Championship still?

[@DJ-ip8so]

@ Maresca is doing a good job. He has done well to manage the initially large squad size and has shown himself to be very tactically astute. However, when you’re managing a squad which has spent more in its last 3 years than a lot of other premier league clubs have spent in their 150+ year history then this performance should be expected.

[@kenkc84]

Slot inherited a well settled Liverpool team, with loads of experience: Best defender, no matter who coaches, well settled midfield. Salah arguably the best ever Premier League winger. Slot didn't introduce anything new, just a little Twick . If Klopp had stayed, he would still have been first cuz city has been bad Arsenal playing like Stoke city of old. Yes, he has done well, but it's the case of don't fix what isn't broken. Compare that with Maresca: Completely new system of football,. Most coaches will need two season to get a new system across. Klopp needed two seasons. Pep needed two season. Maresca has done it in few months Most managers will need their own players, all the talk about 1b not good players . Suddenly, the so called Chelsea billion flogs are performing, playing the most entertaining football and still winning. The ability to create almost two teams to stabilize the squod is genius! I'll have Slot 3rd ,

What? No. The table would be an objective view (of which manager is doing the best) if all other factors were the same. Every club had the same reputation, same players, same coaches. There are far too many varaibles. It's called the Scientific Method. If you want to isolate and test the efficacy of one varaiable, such as manager ability, then all other varaiables have to be the same. You can't do this with the Premier League table obviously so no, it isn't a representation of which specific manager is doing the best this season at all.
