No one is asking for his sack really, nor am I, so I don't understand comments like that. I don't think that result is acceptable at all, and surely not to be blamed on a lack of signings or it being his first year. I think that is just making excuses. He's got basically more to spend than any other manager on a team that already had some top class players like Rashford, Bruno, Varane, Shaw. He's done a very good job, and is so much better than the previous dross we have had for managers, but there should be no excuses.
There should be no excuse for such a match, neither our tough game schedule, just can't blame it on that personally.
