"It's like..."
We did this for an entire 45 minutes today. Is this what we signed Maguire for?
Second half was a panic and a mess because we played the entire first half like it was the 93rd minute of a pre-season friendly.
People will moan about tactics, or not having players to break teams down, or Lingard controlling the ball in the same way punching a hive might control a swarm of bees. It doesn't really make much difference when we literally don't even try to win a game of football until there's half hour left and we're a goal down.
I'm sick to death of watching us lose games while our players spend over half of it just strolling about the pitch. You do not see this from any of the other top six sides. They might have bad managers or poor players in the starting line up, or no fit strikers, or whatever. They still manage to come out and actually try to win the game.
We're the equivalent of a racing driver who spends the first 50% of the race driving round like it's the wwarm up lap, and the last 50% frantically trying to overtake everyone in a panic and then crashing...then next week does the exact same thing again as if it's some kind of effective tactic.
