He’s a good (but not great) player if used correctly. He’s not particularly versatile and he’s certainly not a target man.

Not the same. Measurably he’s never turned in a match like the last one or Chelsea. Ever. In fact most teams in PL history haven’t.

I’d rather he go before January as we don’t want to sign some clogger for him

It is almost as if his understanding of the words aggressive, positive and brave is not aligned with the entirety of the fanbase.

What signs have you seen to say he is the right man?

Not at all, his underlying data was far better than the results. The mirror opposite situation.

Xavi yes. My point is we’re not talking about Championship journeymen. These players get into many PL sides.

I have been going to our matches and I’m afraid I disagree - there are no positive signs from him. He’s extremely similar to Nuno in his approach and we’ve bought players he doesn’t even begin to use properly. It won’t work out.

Removing all context (where he and we arrive from) is the approach credible?
Killed our attack dead, the likes of Muani, Kudus, Simons look 2nd rate.
No midfield in a possession sense.
We are defensive but poor defensively.
Stats at all time lows.
Nobody has turned this around before.

It was an atrocious window for us which took us to what happened last year. Even now those guys are only approaching readiness, none are true first team level for a top 6 club.
What I mean is relative to the past. We had good XIs, or good parts of the XI without no backup.

We have good defenders and we are defensive but we are not good defensively. The disconnect is on the coach.

I disagree - they looked committed to whatever limited plan there was. I just think the tactics are extremely basic and rely on winning more 50/50 moments than losing.

Aggressive play from who? How would we have more midfield control when it was 2 against 3 and their 3 are all better than our 2? We basically gave up any hope of hurting them which is not aggressive in my book.
