Things that are, in my opinion, not the answer:
1. VAR
2. Changing manager
VAR will just make it all the more infuriating when the officials still get it wrong (and they will, like in the PL) and it also means the game is constantly stopping which is a pain in the arse.
Hitting the panic button and getting a new manager is just starting the transition period all over again. We’ve got a lot of new players, they need time to settle in, get used to the players around them, the runs they make and the roles being asked of them. Those connections take time and for many of them, settling into a new country / league takes time too. On top of that, all the players that are coming back from the ACL club are essentially like new players. They’re all players the new signings haven’t played with before either.
Obviously if after the summer, we’re still struggling to click and achieve consistent good performances then yeah, you’re going to be asking some questions. There’s no international tournament in the way this year, so they should get good time working together over the summer (unlike last year). But I’ve seen some really great football from this squad already this season. It’s there, we’ve just got to get that consistency and personally I don’t currently see any reason why Jonas isn’t still the man to do it.
