Really? You think our young German could totally change the way we played under CH quicker than GP did? He’s struggling to adapt to PL football with a much better squad than GP ever had imo
GP came to us from Swansea, he had management experience in British football before he was appointed, and he got 18 months before he meaningfully turned things around in a way that was reliably getting results.
I agree with you that our squad has largely higher potential than the squad GP had to work with (possibly Caicedo and Ali Mac excluded) but we have bought a whole bunch of young prospects to turn into PL players, players don’t arrive PL ready.
We’re asking this coach to turn young players from potential PL players to established PL players, and do it while building a successful team and integrating a lot of new faces. For me, he deserves our respect. We’re going to lose and draw football matches along the way.
I’m not saying anyone has to (or should) enjoy that, just that a bit of patience and a bit of balance is needed.
