At risk of repeating what I said on another similar thread, PV couldn't do it in the MLS with the likes of Lampard, Villa & Pirlo in his side (amongst others)as well as no promotion or relegation.
I pretty much kept my thoughts to myself when he was appointed & obviously I hoped he'd succeed. Forget the investment for one minute & look at his managerial qualities & to me anyway he seems incapable of switching things up.
Hopefully we can drag ourselves over the line, but changes at the end of the season must come either with substantial investment or a clean sweep managerial wise including Osian Roberts.

Pro USA & Israel

If my memory serves me well, Vieira said he was pleased with his team's approach to the game, the manner in which they defended as a team and their organisation.

The lack of left back cover was apparent to me since we sold PVA and we have had numerous transfer windows to address this. We currently can deploy Schlupp or and Riedewald who are really midfielders or bring across one of the right backs which unbalances the team. It is also debatable if the right backs are of premier league quality as well.

As the top 6 seem to have now become the super 7 the fixture list will have an even bigger part to play next season in terms of dictating a run of games that could scupper many a mid table clubs season -

Thankfully next season we wont have to contend with a WC slap bang in the middle of it -

I am firmly in the 'perhaps PV is not the answer, everything asides from our league position looks awful and this could end badly now' camp as opposed to 'PV out, full stop, no ifs or buts' camp however I think you've made a very good point.

Let's just say hypothetically, we somehow limp to April not looking too bad then pick up quite a few points to climb back to mid-table obscurity, I would then be inclined entertain more the 'playing squad investment' stance for improvement than a 'PV out' one.

I'd rather be in the position of 'We can't beat better sides but can flat track bully and finish comfortably mid-table' as opposed to 'we should be in Europe, winning cups etc so let's just get a new manager in every time until we fulfill this delusion'. Certainly for the time being anyway.

I really did see PV in a different light on Saturday where I thought we just looked mentally frail as a team albeit highly fortuitous. I suppose time will always tell and give us the fuller picture.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

for gods sake, wake up, the guy is a car crash.
