He's convinced people that we're a club that ought to fight relegation every season, despite actually having 3/4 of a really good squad now: Pickford, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Garner, Gueye, Ndiaye - these would get in any starting XI from the 'worst' 10 teams in this league.

There are no longer arguments for selecting BOTH of McNeil and Harrison, for EVER starting Keane, Doucoure or Young, yet that's exactly what he does.
