Boxing Day 2013 - a victory over Sunderland and we would have gone a full calendar year without being beaten at home. Osman and Howard fanny about with the ball, we concede a penalty, Howard gets sent off, and we get beaten, and we've been broken at home pretty much since. There's been odd good or great results, but they're becoming a less and less frequent high point in a series of defeats. We've now gone almost a full calendar year with only 4 home league wins.
I said a couple of weeks ago that despite the false dawns, I wanted to give him time and to do better, however it's one false dawn too many now. We've lost twice as many at home this season as we've won. He's not learning any lessons - why didn't we go at them, hassle them and close them down like we did against Chelsea?
I've given him every chance, but I can't support him any more. He maybe deserves the Wembley game, but any more defeats between now and the and that should be curtains for him. But I could totally understand if he was sacked tonight.
