Nobody cares about 2nd. 2nd when you're out of the title race by December is meaningless. What people care more is how the team is progressing, and it was clear in that 2nd season that the on pitch chemistry was terrible, we weren't making an improvement in our counter attacks (a staple of past successful Jose sides), and statistics were clearly pointing to us relying on de Gea (most chances conceded of top 6, and least chances created of top 6). I actually thought we underperformed in his first season, but was more hopeful after that season.We finished 2nd. That's going to be our best league finish for years to come.
And just so we're clear, the only reason why I'm not Ole out at this moment in time is because the season just started after a transfer window. If he doesn't get top 4, I will firmly be in the Ole out camp. I was never a big fan of his appointment, but he was hired. Now that the no preseason fitness excuse is thrown out, he has no excuses.
