And I don't mean the Manager.... the players are as much, if not more to blame with slow play and crappy passing..
Personally, I would bring back Montoya, bench Propper & Stephens, bring Balogun in as DM with Kayal & Bissouma as AMs, and put Andone & Locadia up front as a strike pair. Wingers preferably March and Izquerdio, if fit enough otherwise AJ. AK has shot his bolt in this squad and Murray has a tendency to get caught offside with his lack of pace. That gives us a 4 1 4 1 formation which can't be worse than the dross we have been served recently.
One thing that should be pounded into all the players is that they are supposed to be a team working together. It doesn't matter who scores, as long as we do score. I have lost count of opportunities list due to players selfishly taking the shot when a TEAM member is a good position to receive a pass and score.
They must also remember that the direction of play must be forward if possible and to look for the opportunities mentioned above.
I am confident we will stay up but the attitude on the pitch needs to change.
