Mcleish put out the team everyone wanted to see....fair play
But his instructions completely destroyed the players then, I don't blame the players for not keeping possession, midfielders are set to rigidly, it isn't bannan or jenas natural way to pass and sit, these players pass and go, he has obv instructed them to sit back after they pass and hold position, which is the job u would think herd was in there to do, no ones getting ahead of the ball hence there is no open passes forcing midfielders to play it backwards for the hoof.
Once early on yest bannan got ahead of the ball and made a penetrating run into the utd box and only for a poor touch would of created something. There are some good players there but everything mcleish does contradicts what he says. Numerous people on the site have said they have heard from players etc Ireland is amazing in training, mcleish says during the week he is one of best trainers, praises his forward runs and then at one down plays it safe with petrov when he had nothing to lose, a two or three nil loss is the same as one nil to me especially against united,
And then after the game he praises the second have performance, it was slighty better than the first but still pathetic.
Utterly clueless tripe talking clown
