Literally he seem to be handling the team like it is his first time as a Coach, even when the team had a first timer, they did much more better and now they are at a point where we cannot say that they are even sure of a decent finish by the end of the season, at a point it is beginning to be clear that somehow Manchester United was not the problem but maybe he had some work he is supposed to do on himself but has not taken time to factor that and put it into consideration. I am only been hopeful Leverkusen do not get far worse than they have been so far.
Bayer has changed this off-season, they have sold several players and new players have joined the team. It is also necessary to take into account that a different coach is a different strategy and it seems to me that it was naive to expect that Bayer would immediately become a team that could compete with Bayern, if even with Alonso last season they could not do this. I would like to tell you not to rush and give ten Hag a little time, but I myself doubt that he will be able to make Bayer better than it was with Alonso.
