With our current form and a tough upcoming schedule, we're not going to be 2nd for long.
This is just like the previous two seasons where he was praised for 'fixing the defense' or getting a bunch of clean sheets.
Don't see how he can be be judged for this year alone and praised for working with 'limited resources'.
He's been here for three years, allegedly has a bigger say in transfers, requested 'experienced champions' last summer because he felt the team was too 'inexperienced'. They all mostly flopped.
We got dumped out of the CL in humiliating fashion leading to additional loss of revenue.
It's very easy and convenient to blame off the pitch stuff for poor performances on the pitch but it cannot be overlooked.
Ultimately, our progress as a club is contingent in results on the pitch and in three seasons as a whole, while still having more resources than most teams in the league, with no identity in our football, no player development and little to no increase in the market value of our players, we can conclude that the head coach has failed miserably. A coach that came in with a certain level of expectations.
Also a coach that went from being courted by the likes of Real Madrid to now being worse than Pirlo and Sarri.
There's no point naming names on who can do 'better' with this squad. We have reached a dead end with him and here's hoping he gracefully retires from high level coaching.

Apart from; "no increase in market value" ? There are multiple guys that are easily worth more now... Starting with all the youngsters; Iling, Yildiz, Cambiaso, Miretti, McKennie too,...

If you read as well, you would see that I mentioned that as a stupid game. If we had another coach 3 seasons ago, our team would have looked very different, and they would play very differently.
