They have conceded 43 goals this season - he has no plan B from what ihave seen and would be ANge MK 2 with better attacking play and just as poor defending and injuries.
When you say "remainder of the season"; there' still the fact that 3 of those are still injured, so that formation hold significant question marks in the meantime.
He's still here then?
Our defensive shape was really really bad in the first half yesterday. It looked like the players had never been coached on it at all. At some points only the forward line would be pressing and the rest of the team were playing deeper. Other times only Solanke would press and no one else would follow.
City found it really easy to pull us apart and create openings. We were constantly running back to our own goal. The defenders were actually bailing us out first half. Which sounds weird to say considering they were also partly responsible for both goals. But that's because they were put under so much pressure due to our horrible defensive shape.
I don't know what the attacking instructions were but we had some glimpses of decent play in the first half but it never came that often. Then looking at how we tried to attack more second half it tells me that they were probably instructed to play conservative first half which only led to us being under more pressure.
I'm not sure if Frank deserves much credit for fixing the mess since he's the one that created it in the first place. If he got it right from the start we probably would've won the game. They really had nothing when we actually took the game to them.

Donnarumma, known for not being great with his feet, played several little chipped balls over our front line into midfield, like he was Allison or something
I think that speaks to how disjointed our shape/press was
Thats probably the worst Ive seen City in years, there for the taking
We handed them a lead, then settled for a draw = Frank 101
How are we feeling about Michael Carrick today?
Are you looking forward to next weekend's game?
He was seconds away from throwing away a2 goal lead.How are we feeling about Michael Carrick today?

Pipe down and wait.
I always said he started well then boro fell off a cliff. Alarmingly so.
I will put you on ignore if you don't wait.
He'd chip it to Haaland who would have acres of space in midfield, drag a defender with him and all he had to do was lay it back to someone who would just play it into the space and they'd be in. Or they would play 2-3 short passes in their own half and be in the final third. It's amazing that we weren't 3 or 4 down by the end of the half.
9 points in 3 games is not bad though?
Not bad, but could be better.
Hoping the direction of travel is our second half yesterday and not the first.
Think he’s ok for the next few matches, as they are tough and expectations will be low.
Still very much hoping to not see him for much longer though. Hopefully gone in summer at the latest.

This annoys me
(not you, I think you're great - I mean the sentiment)
The reasons expectations are so low is because Frank has done such a terrible job
We could be going into these games, flying high, looking forward to the challenge and hoping for a result...
Instead, Frank is keeping himself in a job, by being shit at the job
He's successfully lowered expectations far enough that whenever we come up against a decent team nobody expects a thing and he gets a free pass

10 points would be more impressive.
It's great.9 points in 3 games is not bad though?
For them.
But it still doesn't change the fact I always said his end at Boro was what worried me.
This isn't the end.
