Yesterday definitely seems his worst day as manager of the club. And it wasn't even the result, we've become accustomed to these smashings vs other top clubs, but it seemed clear as day ETH got it so wrong with some of the worst in-game management you could see. It also highlighted several clear other problems.
First being one of signings, and how most his signings have been crap, it's one thing saying the players on the pitch yesterday many were at the club before he arrived and not good enough, but as has been pointed out, you've got his 80m signing sitting on the bench for 87 mins deemed not good enough to play, and the thing is nearly everyone would agree with that assessment that he isn't good enough to play. You've got the 50m midfielder ETH seemed desperate to sign this summer sitting on the bench deemed not good enough to play this or pretty much any game it seems, a signing that was questioned pretty much from the beginning of where does he fit, and so far we do not have the answer to that question.
His interview after the match didn't particularly help matters. It was the type of interview you see from a manager on the verge of the sack, which I've not really bought ETH is, and I still don't think he's on the verge, but the sort of total rubbish and contradictions he was spouting is normally the sort of interview you see at the end of a manager's reign. He's on the one hand arguing we were very good in the first half, but on the other hand arguing we had to change it at HT to something that never looked like it would work before we even saw it, that just makes no sense.
