As I said ,3 points of 5th, do you not think that is reasonable for mid November?

I am reasonably ok with how he has changed the formations, granted, was kinda forced to, seems to be getting a tune out of Davis, and in general, how we are playing. That said, I only watch us on telly or the highlights on here, and rarely when we lose!
If you don't watch us when we lose you (1) won't have seen much of us this season, and (2) probably aren't getting a great picture of how things are going
I pick up that folk are not happy, but as I hardly ever see us live, I can only go on what is on TV.
Wider point remains though is that we have been robbed of 5 points thanks to VAR.
We've played much better in the 5 games since the last internationals. But we still are struggling to turn pressure into goals.
To be more consistent we need to get better in both boxes. Clean sheets aren't coming often enough to help out our lack of goals.
I still would have preferred Silva to have gone. But he did enough to buy himself time so we'll need to reassess after Christmas.
Arsenal are 3 points better off and United are 2. Just because we’re crap doesn’t mean they aren’t as well.
Not when we should be at least 10 points better off, given the fixtures we've had. The fact we're just 3 points off 5th is down to how poor the majority of the teams have been.

The 3 points of 5th thing is a bit of a myth anyway. It does'nt account for any of the results for the teams between 5th and 15th, some who already have more points than us, also we have a -5 goal difference. If we get a win against Norwich i think we will end up about 9/10th

Why ‘should’ we be 10 points better off?
We have the points we deserve and are in the position commensurate to that points total.
Now while 15th is disappointing ,when viewed in the context of the points totals of the teams around us, it is reasonable. We have a 6 point gap between ourselves and the bottom 3 and , more importantly for me , are only 3points off 5th which puts us well in the mix for winning European football.
Throw in the league cup quarters as well and I think we’re in an acceptable position for mid November.
I’m not suggesting everything is rosy , but it isn’t anywhere near as grim as some would have it.
Certainly not sack the manager grim anyway.
Well it's not a myth is it? Because, you know, we're literally 3 points off 5th. It's pretty much the exact opposite of a myth when you think about it.

Myth is probably the wrong word, but what i mean is that if we win we are not going to be in 5th
We might if we play Norwich tonight in secret. But yeah, get your point.
Well we would also need a 9 goal swing.
No problem now that Tom Davies has hit a rich vein of goalscoring form. The Norwich game will make Leicester's win at Southampton look like a Moyes special. Bring your brolly because it's going to be raining blammos.
