No. Bloody. Way.
I let him off last season but he’s somehow made the defence even worse and the players don’t even look bothered. It almost felt like a protest out there today – first N’Zogbia hands in a request and then goes AWOL, and then Diamé, Figueroa and Watson to name a few just did not seem to care at all.
He hasn’t got a clue: we shouldn’t be making negative changes at 3-0 during the first game of the season, but he takes off attackers and brings on defensive midfielders to employ damage limitation.
4-5-1 is a bloody joke and I hope after today everybody can see that.
