Ive calmed down now amd slept on it. I suppose the choice for EM is do you sack a decent coach, who's prived he's very capable, to try to salvage this season or are you prepared to take some pain, get set adrift at the bottom and hope he can sort something out after the world cup when we could be 8 or 9 points away from 17th.
My view this morning after witnessing the performance last night is that the problems the players are experiencing on the pitch is deeper than them simply being unfamiliar with their teammates. There's fundamenal errors being made and a lack of basic orgnaisation and preparedness. The players seem to lack basic footballing ability and look nieve. We have defenders who lack pace, no physical presence in midfield, attackers who cannot score. All over rhe pitch its poor.
Ive seen a few sides get relegated in my time. Its inevitable when the team concedes at one end and cant score at the other. Im afraid to say this team is as poor as ive seen and I'm almost certain it goes down this season without a change of manager.
So the question is does EM want to try to save the season and see if a new man can effect a miracle change or does he see that its not going to happen and stick it out with Cooper? I think he needs to try someone else, unfortunately. It pains me to say it.
