Would you not urge we judge him in May?
At this time we are in 5th place and still in Europe which without doing any research is probably where we were this time last year under Mr Wenger.
I was asking Ash's opinion, rather than expressing one.
I have judged nothing yet.I am appalled at what he has done to the football club, but I'm waiting to see whether he is cracking eggs to make an omelette or whether he is simply out of his depth.
That is the odd thing. I can perceive no clear plan. If he'd sacrificed flair to make us more defensively sound, I could at least understand that. But he hasn't. We're still distinctly sieve-like, with the additional bonus of also being worse to watch.I was asking Ash's opinion, rather than expressing one.

Alienating our two best players, playing three different systems in each game, failing to choose the correct first Xl and consistently having to change it at half-time; looked at in the plain light of day, these things are truly damning, but clearly he had some success with Sevilla, and once must imaging he actually passed his coaching badges, so we can only wait patiently to see whether there is some masterplan hidden amongst what at first glance looks like rank incompetence.That is the odd thing.

Not many were accusing him of rank incompetence when we went 22 games without loss and pasted Spurs while playing fantastic football.
It wasn't that long ago, you know.

You big fúcking drama queen.I was asking Ash's opinion, rather than expressing one.

Would you be kind enough to give me a definitive list of words and phrases which are acceptable to you?
You'll notice I have refrained from calling you names, such as small-minded bigoted thick Paddy. That is because I am fundamentally a better person than you. #wes

Oh come on Dutch ffs.
"I am appalled at what he has done to the football club".
He has a massive job of rebuilding to do and it would appear from the outside to be one where frictions and issues within the club hierarchy are not helping. In his short period the man who employed him has walked as has another man who made up the 3 man panel to select him.
The club as an entity is in a bit of a fúcking mess and to be honest given some of the injuries he is dealing with he has done a sterling job to have us even in contention for 4th which we are.
The Ozil situation is a mess and probably one of his making. The Ramsey one less so.
I take all you have said about the lack or apparent absence of a plan and will agree with you, but it is so early in his management to be setting off flares of alarm just yet.
Patience is key here as we have probably another 12 months before we know if he is looking like a succesful appointment or not.
