Premier League winners and losers here. Mikel Arteta gets a bit of a kicking for under-using his January signings while Mauricio Pochettino is the big winner from this midweek.
Since imploring De Bruyne to “go to the easy principles and do it well” and improve “the simple things”, Guardiola has seen his club’s greatest player score four goals and assist seven in eight appearances, having previously taken 23 games to rack up those numbers.
While Nottingham Forest’s 11-game winless run started with Aurier in the team, things looked significantly worse in his absence. One draw and five defeats from the six matches he missed through injury plunged Steve Cooper’s side into a situation which seemed close to irredeemable. With May on the horizon, Julen Lopetegui’s side are 13th and closer in points terms to the top half than the bottom three. This has not been a resounding, swashbuckling transformation – including the EFL Trophy, Wolves have scored more than two goals in one of their 43 games this season, andat Molineux in February – but results have taken precedence over performances for some time.
He and Ashley Young are Emery’s chief lieutenants, guiding a club which was 16th on 12 points from 13 games upon the Spaniard’s appointment to fifth on 54 points from 33 games in late April. Emery’s personal record of 42 points since November is more than the entire bottom half have managed all campaign. Beyond 2022/23 Tottenham, it is difficult to think of many better mid-season managerial changes.
