And yet only four points off the top four with a shitload of injuries having players who are so inept he can't play them how he really wants.
I think people don't learn from history. Under every manager in the last 11 years, I have seen posts like this supporting the manager, but when the team is playing as poorly as we are now, that gap never closes.
The stark reality of our season is:
PL - P13 W8 L5 GD0
CL - P5 W1 L3 D1 GD-2
League cup - P2 W1 L1 GD 0
In 20 matches so far this season, we have conceded 33 goals.
We have lost against every half decent team we have played this season.
All our victories in the league have come against teams in the bottom half of the table.
The league cup win was at home against a second string Palace. And the CL win was against mighty Copenhagen at home.
We are already out of one cup competition and barring a miracle are out of the CL too.
And yet, there are people ready to come up with a myriad of excuses for the manager, burying their heads in sand.
