To me he doesn't seem to know what way he wants to play. 442 fair enough but to play that you need wingers. If we want to play a narrow 442 we are to easy to defend against and the players don't know what they are at and get in each others way. You can add May, Afobe, Lavery and Keane have all played on the wing.
SG is to blame for the playes performance at the beginning and the lack of of a plan etc but the players surely must be able to motivate themselves too ?? Do they want to be in the PL with us ?? This should be there motivation and if yes they have choked.
Was Melo or the Vermijl kid in the squad last night ??
Vermijl was a sub.
I take choking to mean that a player on the verge of success just falls apart.
Our players haven't been on the verge of success.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
