.......I always think you need to give it a dozen games before jumping to too many conclusions positive or negative
I just think it's all a bit pointless. We would have been fine IMO giving AVB the rest of last season to speed up our attacking play and could expect to finish no worse than 6th. Then he would be going into his 3rd seasomn and we could think about seeing the best football yet under him. The decision to sack AVB was more gamechanging for us than hiring/sacking Sherwood or even hiring Poch IMO.
But I hope he shows why DL gave him a 5 year contract! I think to fulfill his 5 years he would need at least 2 or maybe even 3 top 4's in there.
He'd 18 months to do that and didn't. I see your point, I'm just not sure he was working towards anything other than what we were getting.
We played well in some games, you have to give him that. It's finding consistency, and although he had 18 months already, 6 months is still a long time, a lot can change. I think we were at times seeing the worst football you could see under AVB, and we were still in touch with the top 4. Things could only go up under AVB IMO and having 5th as a base isn't bad.
