He's either completely deluded, which I think is true, or he knows his team is completely full of soft arses that can't take him being honest in public.
Either way, I'd be fuming if our manager seemed satisfied with that performance from the players, but then maybe it's just an indicator that he sets very low standards and that shows it their team. If your manager is setting standards that low then don't expect your players to bust a gut for you.
Watching the rags last night was one of the most bollockless performances I've ever seen, that's not an exaggeration. You're in a must win game to stay in the champions league and you go out and show no desire to take the game to them and try to win it. Bayern put it on a plate for them, they weren't arsed either way and the rags still didn't have the bollocks to go and try to win. Their fans were shite too.
If that was us, I'd rather see us get whacked, 4-0 and go out because we tried to force a win, rather than go out without a fight at all.
That's what they've become and it's great. Regardless of how shite they've been for a while now, 3 or 4 years ago I think they would have at least given it a go last night and now they can't even do that.
Yet their manager thinks it was good haha.
I'd love to remember which user on here told me last season that the rags and Ten Hag are going to improve and challenge us after they won the coca cola Cup of whatever it is and I said its nothing but a false dawn.
