We ended the game with:
Dean
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
McT Matic
James Bruno Rashford
Mason
On the face of it, if you didn’t watch the game, you’d think we played for a draw, like the 1-1 against Blackburn in 2011 when we won the league so had every reason to.
The players were embarrassing but the manager...jeez. When his substitutions are like that, is it any wonder the players took the mentality that a draw is fine? Why not take Matic off for Diallo and play an attacking 4-1-4-1? When you play the most defensive 4-2-3-1 possible, we were never gonna score were we? Would City end a game they needed to win with a Rodri-Fernandinho midfield? Pool with Henderson-Fabinho (in midfield, not defence)? You can go through my post history and see that I’ve been on the fence with him all season, but Ole has to go now. We can go on runs, but we’ll never be good enough to find the consistency to challenge for the title under him. It’s been proven 3 times now.
