That is equally worrying. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,562 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Difficult, nay impossible, to find any positives after that. Quite simply the manager must account for these insipid displays and find improvement immediately. If not, he cannot stay. However, most of the players who are doing less than the bare minimum should be ashamed. It's tough to understand the manager's decisions though. If Morelos is in the squad on merit then why not give one of our best players at least 30mins? Similarly, why persevere with a deep passing tactic that is completely ineffective under any sort of opposition press? Onto the players and I'm astonished at their lack of commitment. Heroes from last year stroll around at walking pace; others refuse to track defensively and the schoolboy basics are beyond most. Very few take any sort of responsibility on the ball and most hide. Appalling. Ultimately, the standard won't stand. The manager can't allow it to and, if he fails to find improvement then board will have to step in. Where that leaves us with players with a disgraceful attitude, I don't know but the start to the season could not have been much worse. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,751 Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Born Barasic's reaction when he thought he had scored to make it 3-1 summed it up. Did he run after the ball and place it on the spot? Nope. He looked deflated and just strolled back with almost zero pjayers celebrating. That was with 20 minutes to go.

Don't know if it was because he/they knew it would be offside, but I doubt it. Sums up the attitude and spirit right now i.e. none 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
