Damned if he does and damned if he don’t.
Personally I’ve no real problem with his team selections. Criticism is to the players who, whoever is selected, can’t (a) manage to put ball in net, or (b) defend (delete as appropriate). As far as Roberto is concerned maybe his unwillingness to change the team with substitutes earlier(without giving them a ten minute talk beforhand at the 85 minute mark).
And they’re not impressed either

“Lemmings chuck themselves off cliffs”
One of my favourite cartoons of all time had a huge number of furry animals rushing to the edge of a cliff and one is saying “Hang on, lemmings are brown. We’re grey. We’re probably wombats”.
Well, it made me laugh.
I can’t help you by taking any I’m afraid, Phil (I used to keep tropical fish but they appeared to be a money making scheme for fish shops as they kept dying), but I can help you on the terminology.
The correct phrase is “baby guppies”.

Possibly even football related:
In Roman times a vomitorium was the entrance and exit from a stadium, not a room where people went to vomit after overindulging on meals. In fact, the entrances to the stands in stadia now are still called “vomitorium”.
Very often find exactly the same words in match reports across a spread of papers. Quite often they use agency reports.
