    Ted! Annette! I'm glad you could come, how you doin', give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming! Ted has a small carpet cleaning business in receivership; Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago! They got fifteen thousand left on the house at eight percent.


    "So they're doing okay"

    This is the one that always craved me up.

    Nah, we can't go from "the team needs a massive makeover and rebuild" to "if we don't make top 4 it's a disaster and Ange is overrated." If someone would have told us we'd finish 5th playing attractive football we would have gladly taken it at the beginning of the season.

    True, but doesn't mean questions can't be asked of Ange's obstinence in tactics, team selections, and man management. I'm nowhere near ready to move on from him, but questions need to be asked and course corrections are needed. 
     

    Levy and the front office need to address the roster and depth. We definitely have issues.

    So what is the thought on the whole series and the ending?

    Filoni likes elevating female characters in the SW universe so I and the internet are hoping/expecting an Omega spin off series. 

    Also I think he has more stories to tell about Ventress. 

     

    Enjoyed the series.  I have enjoyed all Clone stories going back to TCW shorts and series 20 years ago.  Filoni telling the story of the Clones' integration back into society after the Empire comes to power was compelling.  Best part of the Obi-Wan series for me was seeing the homeless Clone for 30 seconds on the screen.  

    Also thought the ending was good. Excited that Ventress could come back into play in future projects.  

    The best SW content to come out since the original series was the last 4 episodes of the TCW 4 years ago.  Outstanding storytelling.  And that comes from someone who really enjoyed Andor and Rogue One.   I hope more animation projects are greenlit, and I hope Filoni is running them.

    Injuries and AFCON derailed the season. Part of that is the lack of depth. Teams also adjusted to Ange's system. He needs a plan B when plan A isn't working.

    That Chelsea match in November is when the injuries started.  Mickey and Maddison both went out for 2+ months, Bissouma and Romero both get suspended as a result of their actions in that match. Asia Cup and Africa Cup didn't help, but it started well before the international breaks for Son, Bissouma, Sarr, and others. 

    Agree that Ange needs a Plan B.  That was evident all season long. 

     

    Desperately need a refresh to build depth.  Davies, Royal, Lo Celso, Hojbjerg all need to go.  We need Ndombele off the books and we need to be aggressive in the market.

    Anyone having dejavu. Jose. Conte? Strong start. Terrible lackluster slow regression?

    Not yet. Major differences here were the injuries & international absences. The heart of the season was a disaster when we were dealt a major blow coming out of the first Chelsea match in November. That match defined our season.
