Pointless blaming the manager. How many have to pass through? Koeman Allardyce Silva Ancelotti Benitez.
They can’t all be wrong. These players are not very good. No conviction, no confidence on the ball. They literally came out and for ten minutes couldn’t make a simple five yard pass. Doucoure couldn’t control the ball and he’s one of our supposed best players. As a bell weather for where we are, Demarai Gray looks one of our best players by a mile and he’s a player that Leicester and Leverkusen two upper mid table sides decided they didn’t really need. Townsend who is also good for us sometimes didn’t make the Palace team.
It’s a bad group that needs shifting out. There’s no leadership in defence when Mina doesn’t play. The midfield two are all hustle but not much technique or creativity. The attack is almost non existent without DCL and Richarlison (who also both have their limitations). There’s zero off the bench. West Ham are a mid table team and have a far far better squad than us with players sat on their bench who would have walked into our side today.
We need to stop blaming the manager. It’s years of horrendous recruitment, mixed with awful player fitness and conditioning which is effectively killing every manager we get through the door. None have a chance.
