So what’s your answer then? Those players are here to stay for the foreseeable future. We just watch on for the rest of the season as Gio has us playing dire football every week?
No matter how much you try and blame the players, it can’t justify Gio playing with 3 sitting midfielders and Arfield at RW today. It’s not the players who told Gio to make only 2 late changes when we needed freshening up after about 55 mins.
You can try and defend him as much as you like but your becoming in the tiny minority that thinks he’s the man for the job.
as I said to another poster I would be pulling players into meetings and tell them they are on thin ice and time is almost up.
Maybe it a Dutch thing and Gio's style rubs players up the wrong way, look what happened with ten Hag and Ronaldo and ten Hag is your typical straight talking no bullshit Dutchman but he is the boss.
We've had issues with Morelos for years now and its took Gio to come in to say "nah we ain't putting up with this!"
I have never once said Gio was the man for the job, what I am is not putting all the blame on him and then piling on like the rest, that is the reason why I take the piss out of posters with "that's on Gio" posts etc.
I watched him today demand more intensity, and it just wasn't coming! That happened under Gerrard as well.
The players MUST take a large portion of the blame, he said "intensity" literally in the presser before the game and we get it served up for 10 minutes then go back to the usual, hanging on fucking fear another defensive collapse like Goldson fluffing his clearance or being a shitebag.
People can also moan about team selections as well but when you actually sit and look at it in the clear light of day, there is actually no one else to bring in. That whole starting 11 at times could have been bombed out after some performances this season. Who are you replacing them with?
Plus the injuries, don't count on them coming back to make things any better either apart from Lawrence.
We don't have the players. We will lose the league with these players and the one's being asked to replace the senior players won't win us the league either.
