The Valencia head coach has made some bold changes in an effort to turn things around at the Mestalla, but luck is not on his side.

Los Che had been enjoying one of their best performances under the Englishman, only for visitors Sporting Gijon to go ahead through a penalty and cling on for a 1-0 win.

Plenty felt it was harsh on the former Manchester United captain after a spirited display against the strugglers.

But there were plenty of people quick to jump on the rookie manager, who we should remember is just a handful of games into his first job.
