Ashley Williams quote:What a fatuous comment. Since I presume you are not a professional football manager I assume you preclude yourself from having an opinion as well?
I have been watching this sport for over five decades so I am comfortable having an opinion.
I understand altering a team to suit the opponent, but I also know that the longer a good team is allowed to play together they develop a better understanding of each other.
For this game , I understand resting Coleman. I would have understood swapping say Davies or Rooney for Schneiderlin. Instead he went for wholesale change. If it would have worked then he would have displayed his outstanding skills as a manager compared to my humble opinion. But he failed and failed abysmally at that.
Everyone is angry and disappointed with the performance and result," he told the club's official website.
"The manager was not happy - but none of us are. It hurts like any defeat but when you go down like that - 4-0 in the first half - it does really hurt. It is football, and whatever formation you play, or whichever personnel are in the team, you have to do your best.
"You have to compete and we did not compete in the first half. We have used different formations and won, so that is not an excuse."
