    EH is an excellent manager. I think he makes mistakes with loyalty but I get it. I think he isn’t diverse enough in some transfers but we’re far more hit than miss. I don’t know how he’s to blame for the likes of Gordon, Joelinton and Elanga being so awful. Pope, Burn and Trippier aren’t what they were but ones out of position and trippier ordinarily wouldn’t even be playing.

    Criticism for me is just around an identity. We’re struggling.

    The managerial influence is massively blown out of proportion in good and bad times imo.

    They're glorified PE teachers and you get some that are better than others, but ultimately it's what players the clubs got that matters most.
