This is where it takes an educated or unbiased fan to see the wood for the trees, as it were. Take a look at how we were 'performing' under Mourinho towards the end.
In fact, take a look at how we played under Mourinho for pretty much his entire time here. Feckin' woeful, look at Tottenham now and we were the same but worse.
We get it, you don't rate Ole, so why use Mourinho's terrible spell here as any sort of benchmark.
The difference is night and day, if your willing to let go of any agenda and actually look for the improvements in key areas of both the squad and the approach.
It's clear, especially in this recent run we are on, that multiple facets have improved, crisper passing, one/two touch, movement, defending (8 clean sheets now I think?), good amount of goals scored in that time also. That's before factoring in the younger more talented squad we are building under Ole rather than a rebuild consisting of old players and clutching at straws for short term success.
Ole's rebuild is the only time we've seen a clear approach and direction, something solid to build on.
The fact is we are a few more top quality players away from being a different prospect. Yes, I know we have said that before, but this time we have the right recruitment policy and the intent to play the right way.
