Bilic v Grant – what the stats say

So just how bad are things!

I regularly hear on the forums that we are in Avram Grant country as the team staggers through another seriously worrying season – a quarter of which has now passed.

Having read this morning that we are gonna suffer the same fate as we did during that disastrous 2010-11 season under Grant, I decided to make the comparison between the two sets of results over the first ten games.

And those who have big fears can claim some justification – Bilic isn’t quite at the Grant level this season yet but it’s a close call and the next ten games will tell us a lot more when there was a marginal improvement in 2010/11.

So here’s the stats match-up on the pair and the fact we are doing it all is hugely worrying.

Grant managed to pick up elevcn points from the next ten games – it’s too close to comfort far to close.

Davids we learn our lessons from history!
