After Liverpool at home and the first half at Arsenal he left me a bit underwhelmed, he looked pretty helpless on the side lines against Liverpool and didn't look like he knew what to do to effect the game, his first substitution was very late in the game and it was not as if we'd been battering them after we scored.

I genuinely thought at the time it was another Scolari/Villas Boas situation and he'd be on the beach before Xmas. I am not sure too many saw a 13 game streak coming on the back of Arsenal away and if I'm honest, I would have snapped somebody's hand over if they'd have offered us a Europa League spot at the start of the season amyway.
