Right, so the season is done and I think this needs to be addressed because it’s been really bad all season. Lo and behold in our final game of the season it happens in such an embarrassing way. It would be unfair to attribute this just to Ole. The whole point of Phelan, Carrick and McKenna is to assist with this and advise Ole.
But what the feck is going on... I can count at least ten games this season where we’ve either been losing control of a game, getting run ragged, certain players are looking leggy or just having complete stinkers and nothing is done to change it.
Nobody on our bench can work it out yet you’ve got hundreds of us whining in the match day thread pointing the problems out and then finally about twenty mins later (and by that time too late) do our coaching staff make the required changes.
Tonight, Rashford having a complete stinker. Fred and Williams tiring... but nothing is done until the 87th minute.
West Ham and Southampton games too. We’ve been able to make five subs yet it has weirdly made our coaching staff even worse at making required changes during a game.
I get our bench isn’t great but If the players who are starting are having complete mares or are completely shattered whats the point leaving them on.
There’s no point signing Sancho, having great team spirit, developing young players, getting the best out of certain players if you ruin it all by being so incompetent at managing a game of football. It’s such a massive factor. It’s literally the difference between being a team who finish 3rd and lose lots of semis to actually challenging for titles, getting to finals and winning cups. It’s been a year lads, sort it out!
