The thing is Dean has got us to mid table and that’s what we look like - a wildly inconsistent team who can pull off a couple of excellent performances and then turn in some shockers (either whole games or enough of a game to lose it). Dean won’t have too long to prove he can take us on the next step I suspect. His game management was badly wanting again today.
Nothing wrong with wanting a little more sometimes though?
Go back 2-3 years and Leicester were bumbling around in bottom half despite having a squad full of proven quality and potential. Since they sacked Claude Puel, they appointed proven manager, won FA cup and been very close to finishing 4th in two seperate seasons.
I get it's different for us but not sure for how many more years we can play the "we only had two decent players when promoted" line. Since then we've spent 200m + and now have a good squad in most positions when all fit.
Depends what people want really. Just loitering around in bottom half and won't take long for Newcastle to pass us with what they're likely to sign in next 18 months.
Think we also need some form of european qualification in near future to keep likes of Martinez and Luiz and they're two of our most important players.
