i reckon both of these things are related to be honest, i saw the conversation between dunne, collins and warnock too. dunne looked to be both pissed off and confused, to say the least. if the players are not REALLY clear in what they have to do then the way they work together is compromised. there was no good movement for the player on the ball as a result of this, so limited options going forward, so we give it away a lot.
this is something MON was very good at, making sure that every player understood exactly what they should be doing. give them simple instructions and don't confuse them, the results are his direct and attacking football. the down side as we all saw was the one-dimensional and predictable stuff when we weren't in a situation that suited playing on the break.
today we were woefull apart from some stuff fonz and alby and nzogbia did. it was only little flashes though and as a group we looked clueless and gutless, second half most of them looked like they didn't want to be there at all. i've been trying to reserve judgement on AM. it's hard to see what, if anything positive he is doing with this group of players though. you can't even say we're hard to beat or tight at the back.
