So JM takes off Roca who with Adams had controlled the middle of the park and moved to a back 5 and so we lose the midfield. He leaves BA and Rodrigo on to make it worse. Once they were subbed with 2 minutes to go energy in the press was resumed.

He can’t see what is in front of his face which means he isn’t good enough.

We have the same points as this time last year and have conceded as many goals so any idea we are better defensively than under Bielsa isn’t born out.

He either needs someone as a number 2 who can sort these problems out or should go. We are reliant on other teams being worse than us too much.
Great comments and insight Hope. Greatly appreciated.
