Like it or not, he's under massive pressure next season. 

 

You don't have any say in his position going forward, thankfully.

Think he/we need to sign players that allow us to play and win matches in different ways, especially away from home. We doubled down on the high intensity, pressing style that got us success last season in the summer. Tonali would've aided with this and will next season, but we largely have only one way of playing and don't alter it too much (think the only time we only really did was against Spurs (H) which we hugely benefitted from). Away from home we don't and he needs to improve in that regard to regularly be alongside and compete with the elite sides.

If you pick your best team and lose we cannot complain but if you play Murphy Dubravka and Longstaff in your starting team and liability in tripps instead of schar and move Krafth to right back. People will twist.

Schar isn’t fully fit either though. You can’t have it both ways, can’t complain about not resting/rotating enough and then also complain when he doesn’t rush them back.

You and @worthy know eachother before or did you like meet on the ward? Love a good "how we met" story 


If you think PIF are going to accept non European football I think you need to make your brain cell work. He will be given next season and rightly so, but he will be under massive pressure to deliver. Might be a bit hard for you to understand though

I'm not sure we did Tino, Hall and Tonali are all decent technical players.

Last season we had that real stubbornness about us.  We could absorb attack after attack, this season we’ve flipped and are scoring a boatload but have completely lost the balance at the other end.

 

The takeover started with us essentially buying a new back 4 and keeper and I think that’s where we need to go back to now.  Focus on the spine of the side.

Still think loyalty is his weakness

FFP is the reason most of the players he’s “loyal too” are still here imo.

It's two games left man. ? Imagine been in an fa Cup final and starting the dross. There'd be hell on.

We didn’t have a good few of them available for most of the season. Or the midfield that protected them. Or the keeper.

This too obvious. Look at Longstaff for example, one of our main signings is his replacement. 
 

The fact is most of the season there’s been very little meaningful choices to be made.

 There’s mitigation but the warning signs were there from the word go in an August when we got pumped 3-0 at Brighton.

Ironically people like you all sound the same when you use that word.


No I just see things as they really are, people like you defending no matter what and when you're called out you spit your dummies out
