Yes and no. If they discuss tactics and what to do but then don't carry them out as instructed that's on the players. Tent Peg can't go on the field and play, although looking at last night he couldn't do much worse.

But wouldn't a good manager find a way to drill something into them? It's nearly the end of the season, he has had time. How do we know they're just not poor instructions, rather than it being a case of the players not following them? That's only his words.

Look at the turnaround from Gerrard to Emery at Villa. I'm sure Gerrard would tell you he was giving them instructions and they weren't carrying them out, because he isn't going to say he was giving poor instructions is he? - yet a good manager clearly got the same players to follow instructions no bother.

Of course players should take some blame. Decent players should at least be able to organise themselves on a pitch. I just think when it's going on for months and months, it's mostly poor coaching, instructions and management.

Good managers find a way to get them following instructions, regardless of if they're good or bad instructions.

Could be an upgrade until the end of the season

Brolly winning a cup with boro and getting them into Europe a few times and UEFA cup final is pound for pound much better than what Tent Peg has done in English football.

Mind you that was about 3 decades ago.

I bet he couldn't do any worse in their remaining few games though.
