Maybe one day I’ll see a football team who have been coached. A team with a genuine understanding of set tactical approaches. A team who have been inspired to press and work hard. A team who have some confidence in each other, confidence in at least being able to pass the ball a few yards.
How many times and teams do we need to play against who look so much better and more of a team, even if they don’t necessarily beat us, before we stop blaming and judging individual players and just accept right now we’re an awful football team. We’ll play awful against Brentford even if we beat them, same again against Leeds. Individuals might do things, opponents might play worse than us on the day but none of that means we haven’t been awful now for 4+ years.
