It's a young team, this has been mentioned so many times. The bad run has been a collective effort of crucial injuries at bad times, terrible recruitment in Jan and a lack of experience. Some of the over reaction has been a bit mental re. Brendan. Bournemouth away was absolutely the fault of the playing staff, not the manager in my opinion. Some of the crying on here post has been remarkable. This shit takes time.
The plan against Brighton didn't work, that is true, but I remember thinking at the time that by winning the central areas of the pitch we would be able to dominate, or at least that was what I thought the thinking was behind playing Mendy in there with N'Didi. It didn't work and Brendan acknowledged that.
All in all you don't become a shit team or a shit manager over night and we have neither.
But, if this is also part of the players again dividing the dressing room, as has been alleged, then this is actually the problem. How many managers are they allowed to throw under the bus if that's true?
