Vital Champions League
It feels like you've made a rod for your own back KDZ. Cos you've said how highly you rate the players, you seem compelled to attribute their failures to the manager and his tactical choices ... even though that doesn't really make sense ... certainly not re the defensive shortfalls and lack of movement.
Maybe we as fans should try and analyse each performance a little less, and enjoy (or not) each game as it comes.
We play well, we play poorly, we win, we lose, we comment, we move on.
2 things can be true at once.
I believe this squad is capable of doing all the good things required to play well (as proven against Peterbough, Oxford, Bolton, Derby, etc). The issue is they aren't doing those good things every week as we saw against Exeter.
Manager and players should both have done better against Exeter, they are far better than what they showed.
