In reply to gollancz and all you other "experts":
Something is clearly wrong with how our national team, and to my mind our national game, is performing currently.
I don't accept it is all the manager's fault. It *may* be coaching and selection issues but I don't think that's it really. And I don't think the majority of the pundits believe you can simply pick a better manager and, hey presto, it will all be ok.
Take last nights match. They played like morons for the first 45 minutes. They turned it on and played with fire for about 20 mins of the 2nd half, then sat back and got beat. It was clear as day. Where was the desire, motivation, belief etc?
Similarly, I don't care what you say, I won't pay to go and watch very highly paid players performing with such mediocrity. And there are many who feel the same as me.
If you are so ready to tell me that I am wrong, either we actually are doing better than seems to be the case (are you happy with the performances?!), or something has to change. Do you think it's as simple as needing a new manager? If not, what do you think needs changing?
My comments were intended to prompt thoughts/suggestions. You've just reacted precisely as most people do ie. head in the sand and we'll end up precisely back where we are now. Losers.
