I think there’s a difference between:
1. Players full of confidence and crowd behind them
2. Players low on confidence but still trying
3. Players giving up and wanting the manager gone
PL is about fine margins though so if you’re getting spanked 2 and 3 might be hard to distinguish.
I know last night was bad defensively but the root problem is lack of goals. We go 1-0 down and that attacking limitation impacts defence. You can see beads drop. We huffed and puffed but lack quality and confidence. I still think if we can give someone a spanking if we get an early goal and don’t get tetchy.
When we beat Burnley I didn't hear about these players downing tools.
They've won 35 points for him so far.
The easier explanation is that we're a team with under performing strikers.
