After such a damning critique, it will be interesting to see if he gets a negative or positive reaction from the players over the next few weeks. I’ll wager he won’t. They may well think, ‘you need to take some of the blame here for how you set us up, formation, tactics, etc’. Unless he follows up with some positive feedback on the training ground, it may all backfire. It’s been proven time and again throwing players under the bus is often folly.
