‘Train all week with a plan and then on the Saturday do as you please. No manager is accountable for this. The players have let everyone down.’
Absolutely the players are responsible, but so to is the manager. It’s a results / performance driven business and most managers across every league are judged this way. Apart from that, we don’t know what they do in training all week so we can’t know if they’re ignoring what they’ve been trained to do or not.
