I don't think so.
What is balanced about our squad? Midfield and attack are terrible and is a result of not replacing some of the first team players that went away.
Where is the balance?
If you want convincing arguments about binning Ole how about the play? Do you see quality in our game? Do you see a pattern?
Which players has Ole improved? Who did regress?
There is nothing football related that would suggest that he should be given a chance. The best case that has been made is the three new recruits.
No I think your not grasping my entire opinion. Ole isn't good enough. I accept that.
But we have a stable centre back pairing with a good alternative.
Good fullbacks, who are unfortunately injured.
We are set up to play at pace, on both wings (yes Dan James seems to prefer the left, but he was obviously purchased as a make do until Sancho) and through the middle.
Our number 10 was initially utilised as a mobile ball winner.
Pogba is paired with a mobile CM so he can venture and carry the ball.
Playing to Martial's feet with wingers following the ball looked to be our primary method of attempting to break down teams until he got injured.
A new manager could come next year and add an upgrade to right wing, a creative midfielder and a proven goalscorer (if martial and rashford fail to find form) and have a strong squad.
These gaping holes that everyone keeps talking about aren't actually gaping are they. Its a hole depending on the form and fitness of our squad. In comparison, last year we didn't have a right back, and centre back pairing, Mata on the wing and still had a 'gaping hole' in striker and midfield depending on the form and fitness of our squad.
So, we've plugged the holes and left ourselves thin in the same places as last year (are Herrera and Lukaku really that much of a loss? I think we'd be seeing the same football with both on the field) But unfortunately in sinking ships, you plug the holes first and strengthen the patches when your stable.
Well if the squad is balanced then there's no excuse for Ole to languish in the bottom half in the table. Being "balanced" supposedly means you have ways to cover for injuries even if not directly. If you think the squad is balanced, then more of the reasons to slaughter our current manager.
I think we have different opinions on the definition of balanced. I'd call your definition, squad depth.
