No sense in keeping the same XI. Its not like they're about to go on a run of form. Half decent bench for the championship.
Among the worst performances of the last decade. Not even basic skills were present. Complete lack of effort, passing, movement, communication, awareness and skill. Pathetic. McGoldrick was made to look like Messi.
His lack of work rate today was unacceptable. His touch was poor and he never made runs into useful space. For the first time, he was less noticeable on the pitch than Gylfi.
I'm struggling to get my head around the complete lack of effort in the last three matches. It's not just that we play poorly, but that it all seems to stem from laziness. We're not starting matches with intensity, and by 30 minutes quick touches vanish and we play ploddingly and sideways...
