Came into a mess here; has us playing with attacking intent again; we're midtable; and he did that whilst being denied a striker in two windows....that's why it's rightly so.
We played some good stuff today and were on the front foot for about 60 minutes until Marco made that calamitous sub which possibly cost us the win. Mina was clearly rusty. People are hurting more because we lost the game from a winning position.
Still, the positives are outweighing the negatives for me. It's not as if he's lost the dressing room and it is evident that the players are buying into what he wants to do. The link play between the forwards was very good and we are defending better than we have been for a while; in particular we have stopped conceding from set pieces.
He needs somehow to get the side more resilient and mentally tough. Do that and he will keep his job, fail to do it and more likely than not he will lose it.
Either way he should have the rest of this season and the beginning of next to find out whether he can or not.
