Can't we give an honest 'assessment' without people jumping on our negativity?
We all have opinions, personally I feel you are actually underestimating Terry when you say you feel it took time to gel. We won 6 out of the first 7 games! The sticky periods we had were nothing to do with new players coming together.
I'll say it again, he did a fantastic job last season. In my opinion, he developed a tactical nous which wasn't evident early in the season and certainly the previous season. Because I pointed out that this was a weakness, I am been negative despite the context of me saying he has developed in this area!
