Defensive organisation was the worst i've ever seen, for their first goal Sotis & Skrtel were in centre mid!
And isn't that your best quality Roy?
Oh and just putting this out there but wasn't our defence like the best in the league with Rafa in charge for about 3 straight seasons?
A worse thing though for me, was that the players didn't support each other, it's one thing not wanting to work for your manager which may be understandable, but when Gerrard scored and ran on like to lift everyone, the players around him stood where they were originally and just walked on
And yes all the pundits can have their go at him not inheriting a good squad, and when you look at it they're right, on a general squad it was not good enough, but Rafa had his plan and worked to it, wasted money along the way but he did alright with his squad
Different managers look for different squads, and unfortunately for Roy he won't get time to make his fully his, but o matter what players you can or cannot bring in your tactics are immediately implemented - and they have not worked.
Fact.
No 'expert' can doubt this.
Do go on about this dressing room split though!
