The fact that so many fans sang his name in the final game last season is one reason he is so protected ..we wanted him and it has gone badly wrong.
His buys havent worked ,perhaps long term they may come good.But after last season it was obvious we need to steady the ship he went flat out rebuilding the
team with ''young ,hungry '' players with not enough experience.We have no leaders and yes we can point to Vlaar being out but we hardly great with him here.The midfield has no experience and no strength.
Over and over ex players and the media have pointed out these flaws but he is determined to stick to his plan ..a plan that is failing badly.To the point of us not only risking relegation but going down in an embarrassing style.We are clearly vunrable at the back yet still we don't shore things up.Swansea we were very lucky the first 20 odd minutes we were as bad as the previous games.Despite what he says the Chelsea game as knocked the stuffing out of the team the defence are scared shitless and have no protection.The formation last night at no point did we adapt to Bennett being exposed not once.The 3 behind Benteke seemed to all be given freedom to attack leaving the defence and Bannan and Delph exposed.I fail to see this tactical genius we supposedly hired.
Norwich last season couldn't defend and nor can we dif players same issue.
