Ipswich Review | Injury-hit City remain top after narrow home win (Ad-Free)

Yeah, and I feel really guilty for the guy because he's not going to get the credit he deserves from non-City fans about just how good a job he's doing because of all this... bloody noise and stuff around the club that he's never going to get.

You know, he has no involvement in this.

He's just working with the tools that he's got.

The guy's been here literally like three or four months and then, well, excluding the time he was here in the treble season.

So, yeah, you've got to give him the credit he deserves, man.

Seven wins from seven in the Premier League, something which no other manager has ever done is stupidly impressive.

I mean, I know, I think, was it Pep won six from six in his first season? So, you know, he's already better in Pep.

The guy came in to, you know, to replace, I suppose.

But, Yeah, and it's not even just kind of the...

He's not like Slott, maybe, in that first few Liverpool games where he almost seemed to be riding his luck a little bit.

It seems like Oreske is genuinely tactically working these games out to a T for the most part.

I mean, his substitutions, I'd still stand by the saying that he's not actually got any of them wrong so far.

Maybe he's made... bad selection when it comes to the starting line-up, like the PSG game, and his substitutions then rectify that.

But for the most part, I would say he's not got a substitution wrong.

Yeah, and he seems to be approaching... games in the way that I would, you know, like him to.

For example, at Anfield, I think he approached that game perfectly and then when he brought Docu on, it was the right time to make that substitution, the right time to just, you know, go gung-ho and take it to Liverpool knowing that they were a man down.

So, Maresca for me is like, yeah, he surprised me because even I had a few reservations about him.

I was thinking maybe this guy is just, you know, He's here to fill the gap between Pep and company kind of thing.

He's not going to be here a year or two, basically just till whenever company's contract runs out.

But by all accounts, this guy's hit the ground running better than anybody would have expected.

Like you say, God, can you imagine telling this to somebody when we got battered by Arsenal in the Community Shield? I mean, yeah, no one would have believed you.

People would have been saying, I don't know, they've been telling you to piss off, basically.

They probably would have thought it'd be more likely the city would have been relegated by the charges at that point than Maresca to win seven out of seven, really.

But yeah, I would say I'm massively...
