Well, in hist first season (after taking over in October) he only managed 8th, while ole managed 6th (3rd after he took over
Link), and his first full season they started well enough, but were fecking awful from New Years and up til February with 1W, 3D and 3L. Its also worth noting they only got fourth one point ahead of Arsenal which they beat 3-4 and 3-1 so its not like they were sailing into top 4 easily. We finished 6th that year under Jose, who pretty much everyone thinks is a good manager, so what does that tell you?
No doubt our league form has been shite, but the current top 4 have all had flying starts. Before this weekend both Leichester and Chelsea were above City and i really, really doubt many people saw that coming in August. So we being adrift from top 4 isnt just about us dropping a lot of points, those teams have been in terrific form so far
