Trying my best not to call for his sacking......but its really difficult.
I'm beginning to wonder if he has what it takes. We had a decent end to last season, albeit we went out of the FA Cup in disastrous fashion.
So.... I thought ok he needs another season to be fair. And when I saw the fixtures we had for the first 6 games, I'm thinking we had a great chance to be up there with 11, 12 or 13 points at this stage.
We have 7 points, which simply isn't good enough.
But its not just that, its his tactics and substitutions too. We're so easy to play against and we never look like winning once we go behind. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it changing (significantly enough) under this manager. 7th, 8th and 9th are clearly still acheivable, if thats the level of ambition. Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea are all in transition (still better sides than us though), and there to be shot at. I know its early, but I just don't see us being a side to challenge for 4th, 5th or 6th (again)! This average start has dampened my enthusiasm already.
League Cup is are main (perhaps only) hope. And even if we win on Tuesday (please please!), it'll be the luck of the draw deciding our fate in the next round.
