He hasn't sugar coated it.Sugar count it how you will he can't beat the first man.
He's given you a fact.

His overhit corner against Sunderland lead to their bloody goal, after watching Arias NOT beat the first man 10 times in the prior games (which is clearly a instruction - to hit the near post.)Unless those 13 goalscoring chances were through balls then it suggests otherwise.
If anything he overhits his crosses more often than not.

Overachieved (reached playoffs) in his first season against expectations then failed to live up to new expectations the following seasons (missed out on playoffs twice). A general criticism was that he didn't seem to know how to turn possession into points - Boro would frequently dominate matches but end up drawing or losing, with little cutting edge and lots of pointless safety-first possession.What actually happened with him at Boro, I paid very little attention but wasn't he doing well at one point?

Who, Gary O'Neil??Would never pass full judgment on a manager after just 1 role at a club.
Really don’t think we have anything to lose now by giving him a try.
