Watched the highlights on MotD2. Not a chance any of them are playing for the Rentboy.
There was absolutely no effort there, nobody was prepared to put a shift in, no one seemed to know where they were supposed to be - in short, total chaos.
It doesn't matter how often the manager goes over the tactics with his players if, on match day, no one seems to give a fuck anyway, there will be turbulent times ahead.
I watched so many times players not bothering to close down, giving the ball away and not bothering to try and get it back, being woefully out of position and seemingly unaware that there were opposing players around them when they did get the ball.
I don't believe any manager would be able to arrest their decline, I really don't. They just have way way too many passengers in their side to mount a genuine challenge for top 6.
