So we're one game away from the halfway point in the league season and we're in 8th place, we're into the semi finals of the league cup, we've progressed out of the Europa League group stage with top spot and we're still in the FA cup ( ). It's worth pointing out that besides Liverpool's form this looks to be the most mental of premier league seasons in terms of predicting results. We could just easily finish in the bottom half of the table as much as we might string some wins together and squeeze into the top 4.
After the Newcastle game I changed my vote to Ole out and have kept it that way but I will say that there have been more encouraging signs since the Liverpool game and especially with the results against Spurs and City. That being said it doesn't come as much of as a surprise that we don't beat teams like Everton and Watford. When teams don't play the way we want them too we look bereft of ideas and I don't think any January signings will solve this. I don't honestly think we will get top 4 and I think that's unacceptable for United however, we're a decent team on our day and I think we could possibly win a trophy in the knockout competitions. A cup final/trophy, a strong Europa league campaign (hopefully winning it) and at least a good battle for the top 4 is a reasonable ask.
This isn't a knee jerk thread or an Ole in or Ole out thread but I'm am curious to see what everyone's expectations are for the rest of the season. If you are Ole in what would it take for you to lose patience or say that this isn't working? Also what is the minimum you expect from this season in terms of progress? Vice versa, if you're 'Ole out' what sort of performances, results and form would change your mind? If Ole gets a trophy but misses out on Top 4 would you accept that as a sign of progress?
