Some of us who never ever spent time in coaching or running a football club knew that beforehand and yet they didn't...If I was Chairman I would have gone mad him putting out a team as though it was pre season.. The policy of a manager/coach is to put the very best team they could and have some fringe players on the bench to introduce later in the match. Bad bad decisions by so called experienced coaches suggests they could learn very quickly what not to do next or may just do the same again. People think I am nuts and that can be true at times but really in the old days club managers put out the very best team they could and why when we played double winning Spurs around 1960 they had about ten internationals playing. Today they are only interested in money and managers will play a second or third eleven to save them for continentall matches that mean absolutely zero to fans like me and I would never go to any of those matches even with free tickets..
You don't need 'coaches' in football but ordinary people who understand the purpose of football and how many goal chances did we have last Saturday? Was it zero or one or two over 95 mins...Three managers and not a clue about football....
