He's had 100 games in charge now and we still act like he's some kind of novice and we should just be happy to be in the competition

But his tactics have done well throughout his tenure.

He's qualified for every tournament they've entered. He's reached the last 4 countries in the World at a World Cup. He reached the last 2 countries in Europe last Euros. And he's reached the last 4 countries in Europe again this time. Still with the opportunity to improve on that position.

He's surpassed any other English manager in history besides Sir Alf who won a tournament. But even he failed to qualify for the 74 World Cup.

As an Arsenal fan, you should know from the George Graham days, that you don't have to be the most attractive team to be successful.
