I think it’s totally right to call them out, today was another day when the performances were unacceptable from many players. Also yes we can afford to replace many of them, I know FFP makes that difficult but some will be sold and make ok money. Total revamp needed.
It will be shortly, he'll be stuck with this lot plus free transfers next season, the more he calls them out the less we'll get for them and the less he'll have in funds
They have contracts, some may be thinking it's the time to move on (Richarlison, DCL) others may be looking at how long they have left on their guaranteed income.
They all want PL football.
What about 6 players played out of position today.
Dave stop crushing our poor manager under the weight of your grandiose expectations.
As badly as the Leeds, Brentford and Burnley players? That's what counts.
As much as.
"We are playing at the cut-throat end of football here. This is a cup quarter-final to get to Wembley and if you haven't got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say have you got the bollocks to play?
This is it. They are thoroughly unprofessional...professionals being able to consistently perform well.
Not having the confidence to ‘play’ (ie in a certain way) and not trying are absolutely not the same thing. We’re very much guilty of the first, I don’t believe we’re overly guilty of the second.I’m not saying every single one of them is giving it everything they’ve got but in general I don’t believe they’re lacking in effort, they’re just severely lacking in ability.
Richarlison has 2 years Doucoure has 1.
They're not my words
