Its very simple, RDM is developing as manager, this team is still developing as one. When you have a child, perhaps he will do a lot of mistakes because he/she is inexeperienced in a lot of subjects, and as father you should say whats is wrong, but this child still could learn with his/her mistakes. Its same with RDM, only fans that thinks everything is fine (we have a lot of these guys in this forum), would be blind to not see some of the weak points the team have. Asking for a a PL trophy in this season perhaps is too much for RDM and his team, but a top 4 finish is an obligation, but I'm sure if we went down to 5th, 6th position, people would say RDM is still the right man, just like we had a lot of this mad thing last season with AVB, even when it was clear that there was no way we would end up in the top 4. At this point RDM is doing a decent job, but nobody knows how his story will end up. I have to remember that some years ago, Arsenal started a rebuilding process, buying a lot of young players with a lot of potential, and they had players like RVB and Fabregas. In the beginning they were really good, but in the big matches they just failed, and many people thought it was because they lacked the experience, and in the coming seasons they would win some big trophies. Years passed, and they stayed as a team for the future, so its got to the point that both Fabregas and RVP decided that they had to move to win. Right now RDM's team is far from a winning side. A lot of young and inexperienced players, and a squad that lacks depth. yesterday it was like Juventus' game. We were the better side for the most part of the game, but in the end the opponent scored goals despite having few chances to do so.
