And it's basically a really good summary of

everything that's wrong in a game of football in terms of we haven't got enough players we haven't got a strong enough squad we didn't fix the problems that were caused by players leaving in whether that's left wing or right back centre forward centre forward we didn't fix these things and it's all everything just coming home to roost in one thing and it just looks atrocious it's it's

as a game of football and a line-up that we put out it is as close to summing the whole shebango as you can possibly get I think it's not just one thing it's so many different things that are causing these well there seems to be something I mean mentality is a huge part of it and we've often talked about their mentality in a very different way but like this sort of passive nature of the way that they're playing is is

Yeah, they've switched off to allow Cucurella in.

About five minutes later, they get a quick free kick, and we let Cucurella back in again.

It was just very frustrating, the whole thing, in terms of how it went out.

The 50-70 was a little bit of an improvement.

They seemed to get a little bit less space, but I thought they found themselves retreating a bit, and they looked like, in that period, like a team who just had...

So I'm not sure they do at the minute.

I'm not sure if Bede have gone to Old Trafford and tried to dog it.

Ultimately, we go to PSG the other week and he goes five at the back and he gets absolutely slaughtered for it.

Trenton's the unfair to full-back.

That's April.

It is, but it took fucking ages to do it.

It took the international break for him to sit down and think about it.

But he also had that solution within his squad.

He could do it.

That solution in this squad just doesn't exist, does it?

Something like you can take a unicorn of a footballer and radically change how you play just isn't there because the squad is just lacking and it's a mess.

He doesn't see them as viable options.
