I have though about this much.
May be something to do with a bit of complacency from some of our players.
Some (Kolarov, Yaya, Lescott to name but a few) seem to take their foot off the gas just a bit when playing the "lesser" teams, almost as if they think it is our God given right for them to succumb to the greatness of mcfc.
Contrast that with our raggy neighbours in whiskeynose's day when they approached the first 20 of every game as if their lives depended on it.
I think it is an attitude problem which we are in the process of addressing (I hope anyway)
I'm sure if you'd thought about it a bit more you wouldn't have singled out two players who didn't play today and one who came on as a subsitute.
I wasn't referring to today.
We have struggled vs the likes of Sunderland et al for yrs not just today.
The complacent approach involves the whole team and the players I mentioned were but a few examples.
It's about grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck from the get go. We do not always do that against the less fancied opponents do we?!
