So what is the sudden difference?
I've called him negative for long enough but gave him patience and acceptance to see if he changes stuff.
I'm getting bad vibes about him as to his stance on things behind the scenes with players and clearly what he's setting out on that pitch.

I could carry on being patient and even say " ahhh well, he's tried for half an hour against Bournemouth, maybe he'll start working on a more balanced set up."
But you know what? I seriously doubt he'll give us much to get excited about.
