We had a shocking player on loan from Liverpool(Neal?) who had a horrendous debut and was written off after just 1 game i believe. It does happen i'm Afraid.
First game we tore Southampton a new one at St Mary's in front of the camera's. I will never forget that. We then wobbled a bit like you say before he turned it around.
I thought Poyet had experience as a number two at Leeds and Swindon? Then in the Premier league?
He knows a lot about English football and players over here. Garcia was a gamble granted and a very good gamble that paid off.
That comes down to coaching. The team and players are making basic errors and playing with no belief. We were appalling in pre season and it's carried over with no signs of improvement despite what Hyypia says. Even more worrying is what Mark Yates said(read my sig)
