As disappointing as the league is turning out, the only reason we are in a title race is because of him. This team was gone when he arrived and he's eeked every last drop out of them to the point where I don't think a lot of them have much left to give, hence the dowturn lately.
He's exceeded my expectations TBH. Two cups would give us optimism before yet another summer rebuild.
If we don't win the league this year I'll be gutted but like Gerrard at the start of his tenure, Phil shouldn't be blamed for the mistakes of the past that was hampering him from day one. I think he's shown more than enough to put our trust in him going forward. Having a structure in the background with Koppen and the new scout should also help.
He does need to beat Celtic this season though. We cannot go into next season with him still not having beat them and especially with the first OF at their place. The longer we go without beating them the more it'll hang over him and used as a stick to beat him with.
