you know I love Marcelo. And no O'Leary, Blackwell et al dodging responsibility either, taking it full on the chin. Not BPF, Not Dallas, Not the players. All my fault. Nice.
He said the aim was not to concede the ball in our half, where it would hurt us. But that's what happened. Is it just that our defenders are not up to passing it to each other when under pressure? Had Marcelo told them, instead of playing the high tempo game, to take it nice and easy and careful and not lose possession. Which they tried, and failed? And wasn't that what seemed to be happening when Mr I-was-at-Barcelona-with-Johann-Cruyff-and-Total-football's team got found out by Millwall and then everyone? Christensen seemed to want them to build up patiently from the back, which i thought proved his undoing. This time, though I'm sure Bielsa will have figured out ways to overcome this. I still think, we have a team of average championship players, but a coach of real quality who is proving that just 'buying players' is not the answer, better to improve what you've got individually and collectively. And we have a chance. fingers crossed.
