It’d be bonkers to fire him now. I’m not sure he’s lost the dressing room or anything - some recent performances have been great and it’s hard to do that if the players aren’t behind the manager.
But he’s made us as inconsistent as we’ve ever been and, honestly, I don’t see an end to that. At the airport a few weeks ago against West Ham, one of the regulars was asked by another “what do you think today” and he replied “I’ve no idea. You have no idea what you’ll get from us.”
Call it sexy or anything else but it’s true. We’re wildly inconsistent and it’s down to how we set up and play IMO. We can beat anyone, we can be beaten by anyone. I’d have put the house on us winning today, one of the few bankers for us, and we deservedly lost.
It’s fun in a way, it is very entertaining in itself but it’ll be good enough only for 6th-10th. And I’m not sure it’ll cut it in one of the cups either. We’d have to be awfully lucky to have enough good days to go all the way in any competition.
