I’d say for a lot of us it is not about blaming the manager, being ungrateful for the job he has done, but much more to do with whether his modus operandi can ever progress us into being real trophy contenders. His historically displayed limitations and the current playing style / in-game adjustments (or lack of) like use of substitutes are all fair game if the question is about how the club can most quickly (potentially) become a real force to be reckoned with on the pitch.
