The team has weaknesses in almost all areas.
Too many players that are either not good enough physically, not good enough decision makers, or technically deficient - AWB, Bruno, Casemiro, McTominay, Malacia, Amrabat, Lindelof, Eriksen, or just plain lazy bastards like Rashford and Martial.
That is without including players that, while competent, need to be accommodated due to obvious issues such as Martinez.
Or perma crocks like Shaw.
I reserve judgement on a few of the newer ones.
Most teams have a couple of pressing triggers against them. Half of our players are pressing triggers. It's abysmal.
When the stars align and our lazy bastards are motivated, we can produce moments, they are only that though, moments.
To me, yes, there is evidently a failure of coaching for us to produce a performance like Brentford.
But the most damning issue is squad construction.
