If the players can be bothered Ducado. Something stinks to high heaven with some of them.
I am not sure it's they can't be bothered, I just think the team is adjusting to new ways of doing things, yes especially in the first half some of the basic football was poor, but the 2nd half was much better, the only thing I will say I wish he would stop making YaYa captain it does not work and never has (Southampton away last season)
When changes are made you generally expect improvements in organisation, style of the team but at the moment we have regressed. The team has become less fluid than last season, we have no leadership to the team or spine. One reason the loss of Kompany which is understandable. Not replacing Kolo and the removal of Barry from the side currently does not make sense. I love having foreign players at the club, but I also like a number of English players in the side who have grown up in the Premiership and with that experience. Fernandinho at the minute should not be playing before Milner, Barry or Rodwell. The frustrating thing is we know how good these players are but, of late, the performances consistently never match to the price tag or reputation. Players like Cleverley, Welbeck, Young etc are outperfroming them
