Thought AMN had a good game. Not perfect, but not really the partner/system he will be at his best with.
Obviously the opposition wasn't great, but you have to start somewhere.

By far the worse performance from an English team in this round of fixtures, imo.

Job done in harsh conditions.

Ostersunds is swedish for "pub team". I just don't understand why players like Welbz don't see it as a chance to fill their boots. No character or bottle in most of our players...Sideways passing and passing it backwards when they get in the box when they should be going for goal. Symptomatic of the malaise affecting our team.

Our lack of cutting edge is sooo depressing. We overlooked so many opportunities to attempt a killer pass.
But thats what happens when you have bang average players I suppose.

I'm not having it.
The attacking positions in a squad are some of the most dependent on player confidence. Much more dependent on this than any individual skill a player may have.
Welbeck has probably started less than 10 games this season. You don't just come out of a layoff and start banging them in.
I'd rather judge him after a solid run of starts.

Gillespie Rd.......what's all this wimpy "confidence" nonsense... These guys are highly paid professional players doing a job that most people would give their eye teeth for....The culture at our club just makes failure acceptable. ...and some of the fans have grown to accept it. Not me.

Doesn't matter if a player is worth 5 quid or 500 million. Everyone needs an arm around the shoulder to get their spirits up.

Another Millennium snowflake. ... these guys are not 5 years old.... they'd be flipping burgers if they weren't playing football....Isn't that motivation enough?

Seems to be a common thread in many of the football manager autobiographies I've read.
