Player Valuation: £35m
I feel bad for Marco.
Bar the poor substitution of Mina for Richarlison when he should have put on Davies or Snides (shudder) at 2-1, he cannot be held responsible for Pickford's brain farts and terrible decision making and our continued weak mentality to crumble in the way we did.
Those 17 days off have shown that we have improved our defending of set pieces and are playing much more positively.
I also think he has improved Gueye in an attacking sense and he is also one of the reasons we have our three best players : Gomes, Bernard and Digne. Richarlison has 11 goals and is only 21 so will go though patches of poor games and Mnia we just do not know.
Yes, we have had some terrible results and the set pieces thing is something we have to improve but i go back to the way we have played against every top six side (apart from spurs when he got it terribly wrong) the players he had an influence in bringing in, his improvement of DCL, Gana and Keane you could argue are all positives.
He needs at least one more transfer window where we get him a striker amongst others and he needs time to bed in his philosophy. We have seen glimpses of class this season but our consistency is one major issue and mentality, of which we have zero.
This is all after the absolute mess Koeman and BFS left us in.
He needs until Christmas and then let's see where we are.
