Exactly, and I'm sick of ALL the blame on the manager from a lot of fans.
I ain't saying Silva's good enough. At the moment he's proving to be a pretty one-dimensional manager, and it's crap.
But I'm fed up of these players making the same mistakes and getting away with it. I'm glad Silva's dug them out, while at least accepting it's his responsibility as well.
100% Toff, regardless of Silva ( who I honestly now believe has 4 games max to save his job ) he's got every right to call out these players. These are seasoned pros. Coleman switched off, Keane constantly not showing enough aggression, Poor decision making by Baines ( who it was blatantly obvious was injured and should never have started and as a seasoned pro he should know better ), Walcott, Gylfi, all seasoned pros putting in limp performances and this is now under a fair few managers.
If it was an inexperienced kid like Feeney at the back or even Kenny to a lesser extent than you say "fair enough" but it's not it's so called seasoned pros.
It's why I have no qualms about dropping the lot of them and give some of the u23's a chance. Give Feeney a game, bring in Gibson, get Hornby or Sambou on the bench, bring Broadhead in, drop Schneiderlin from the bench and bring in Charsley.
You know if he doesn't Toff, he deserves to be sacked because playing the same players who are either incapable or unwilling to put a shift in or are so lazy that they can't mentally concentrate on the basics for 90 minutes well I can tell you there's a fair few u23 players who might be limited ability wise but I'd back them to be able to put a disciplined performance and not capitulate like this lot do.
We are talking now nearly 4 years of constant below par performances ( bar an upturn for one season in Koemans first season and even then we had a horrendous run ).
It isn't acceptable, it shouldn't be accepted so if he's gonna get sacked cos he's out of his depth I hope he takes about 7 of the lazy beauts down with him.
