At the start of the season you posted almost this exact same post. How Ole would be good enough with a “top 4 squad” but never pushed further.My personal take is the manner of how we play is what’s clouding over what, as you say, is a decent season (so far).
I don’t think Ole has done anything exceptional but I also don’t think he’s been awful - he’s kind of where I’d have expected him to be for a non elite (as in where he’s come from/managerial background) managerial hire who has been backed and taken over a good squad. He was never going to win the PL but his job is to close the gap to City after our form fell off when we went top.
I think we are overly negative in many games but I can get over that if results keep coming. I do also think it’s fair to say a lot of our games this season have not been the most entertaining - that’s where I think a lot of disconnect comes from.
As an aside - it will be funny if we win both cups we’re left in and then a reporter asks him if cups still don’t show progress and are an ego thing.
As he has done better you have revised your expectations saying “there’s no progress”. But he’s literally two places higher than you expected after spending less than others.
