Looks well though, doesn’t it? When the opposition manager can see we’ve a load of shirkers in the side, and has to come out and say it.
Roberto is coming across as being too nice, too soft. The softly-softly approach won’t work with the ‘big time chalies’ we’ve got.
Are our coaching staff able to motivate players at this level? I don’t know. I may be jumping the gun, but I’m already thinking we’ve dropped a massive clanger by letting sentiment rule our heads, by bringing the ex-Latics connection staff in.
Could you imagine someone like Souness accepting what we’ve seen recently? No, me neither. We should have gone for Souness, and even had Tugay as his number 2, whilst still being registered to play. Your struggling to keep the ball……so you stick Tugay on for the last 20 minutes. Sorted.
Unless something really drastic happens, can’t see us escaping, this season. Let’s see on Sunday, when we face a really under-par Everton side. Get stuffed there, and it shows how dire we really are.
