That's a fair observation. I'd say though we've put in less than stellar performances under the so called "Elite" coaches in Europe too. The way we whimpered out against Milan, with Conte defending a 1-0 deficit for some fucking reason was a disgrace, the way we embarrased ourselves in the so called "Farmer's Conference".
It'll probably be a bit like early Poch days - a bit ropey to start with but if Levy is serious about a long term project and vision then he needs to be very careful with that trigger finger of his. Fans too, a quick look back of the Poch thread shows a loud minority calling for his head after less than 10 games. The players have been playing defensive non-pressing counterattacking for years now, it's going to take time. The squad needs major surgery and we all know we won't be able to do it all in one window so there's going to be a fair number of players we'd rather be shot of still playing next season. That's not Ange's fault, we know who's fault this is.
It's not Ange's fault we're in this position right now, and we need to give him time to try and get us out of this. He has the spirit and determination and self belief, but not arrogance. I like his attitude.
