Some aspects have been good, but not making top 4 should still have him sacked. I hope we have one final push to claim it with our current squad there're no excuses. Breaking the small teams down has been a real challenge.
It would be diabolical should we not get it, if Man City are banned. It would be quite poor even if they aren't. After January, we have been playing with £200m worth of signings over Chelsea's £0m expenditure.
We should have the advantage there. Also, our whole team is back fit and we also have the easier run-in. In fact, I don't think there are any excuses for him not to get top four. I see it as more of a must now than I did before. At least he had the injury excuse then.
We started playing better recently, but I think people are still getting ahead of themselves.
Burnley - Lost (diabolical performance)
Tranmere - Win (expected)
Brugge - Draw (dreadful performance)
Chelsea - Win (good)
Watford - Win (good)
Brugge - Win (good, but should be an expected win)
Everton - Draw (Decent start, poor second half)
Derby - Win (expected)
Man City - Win (great)
Lask - Win (expected)
We have still not put to bed whether we can consistently beat the lower teams in the Premier League. We have played three in those games and came out with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
Some of those others teams are so weak as well: LASK and Tranmere - there shouldn't really be any praise for beating them. Those two are the type of games that only have expected (win), poor (draw), or dreadful (loss). Brugge are not much stronger.
