5 things we learnt from European Football this weekend

#1 Pulis out, Clement next in Premier League sack race

Paul Clement does not seem to know what he is doing

Following the news that Tony Pulis has been sacked by West Bromwich Albion, attention has shifted to Swansea City's manager; Paul Clement as the next man to face the managerial executioner.

His Swans team have been dire, staid and lacking in any sort of form, flair, and drive. The performances of the team have given voice to pundits who point to his failure at Derby County as evidence that he is a better assistant coach than a manager.

While Clement may not be completely at fault for the team’s incredibly bad player recruitment, he is at fault for the way the team has been playing with players, fans, and pundits confused as to what the team is meant to be; a possession based team, a defensive team, a counter-attacking team or a team that presses high.

A continuous spiral of negative results with Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham the only bright spot so far has helped to dampen the mood around the Liberty Stadium.

With Chelsea and an imperious Manchester City among the teams they will face in the next five Premier League games, the weekend’s upcoming fixture against Bournemouth has taken on a significance far greater than the manager would have liked.

The gale of managerial sackings in the English top-tier this season has begun to mirror that of other European leagues and as the cult of the manager continues to dwindle in its last stronghold; England, expect Paul Clement to become the latest victim if things do not change.
