The club has replaced two of his assistants, and the defeat at Brighton last weekend raised more eyebrows.

He has been backed in the transfer market with some high-profile signings, meaning his expectations are sky-high.
They beat Fulham and suffered a last- minute loss to Brighton in their second match, and they are seeking to bounce back against Liverpool.
Man United told to fire Erik ten Hag
Dwight Yorke has called the Dutchman a good manager but feels the club needs a manager with "pedigree".
“Erik ten Hag is a good manager but there is a difference between being a good manager and being an elite manager,” Yorke said via Football365. “United need a manager that comes with a pedigree. Until United get that manager in, they will struggle."
He said they need to hire Zinedine Zidane.
"There is an ideal candidate out there who can take the club forward with a huge lift and match that expectation. That manager is Zinedine Zidane. Ten Hag hasn’t got it in his locker to attract big names, Zidane is an elite manager who can attract the biggest players in the world."
The Red Devils have not won a Premier League title since 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester City have dominated the league, winning the last four, while Liverpool and Arsenal have remained competitive in the last few seasons.
