Nope, not at all. I wanted him to play more balanced football to give some entertainment out earlier on because no matter what you say, he didn't do it and continually played dire football for most of the games earlier on.

Well he seemed to have missed the fact that playing Joselu and over cautious football was zapping the life out of the players who started to lose form and gusto due to it.
Allowing Kenedy to express himself on loan caused him to also allow others to do likewise. This is the football I expected and demanded as a minimum and now we're producing it because he changed up his errors.


It was far from naive, It was was absolute truth as far as my enjoyment went.
If you thought otherwise than that's you. I said what I said and stand by it but I also accept that he's getting it right.

My wanting him sacked was over the top but was borne out of sheer frustration.
If I ever see him do that with the team/squad what he done earlier, I'll crucify him again.
As for now he deserves plaudits and long may it continue.
You’ll also remember him predicting that the second half of the season would be better than the first.
Do you think it’s because he thought - right I’ll send the team forward in the second half of the season?

He has of course but you need to ask why he didn’t before? You think it’s because he didn’t know the players he was working with. I’ll say that the players he had were not ready to play that type of football (personnel - Manquillo? and form: Diame, Perez, Ritchie, etc.)

Remember Fergie’s first few months at MU? They nearly fired him.
