Ok, so maybe my posting of a door and flights to Brazil was a bit drastic, but in reality.....if things keep going as they are that'll be what he'll be looking at.
If this was Grant or any other half arsed manager who lost our home record, who doesnt seem to have a tactic to break tough opposition down other than hoof the ball into the box we'd be calling for his head and screaming "You dont know what you're doing".
But this is Scolari. The saviour who'll bring a bit of flair back to the team and stable the ship............
He's too long in the tooth to be given an easier ride just because he won the World Cup. He's done the rounds in domestic football throughout the world and should know what to do. I honestly thought the Liverpool game was an off day, but the cracks that appeared then are turning into caverns. This has to be our worst run of form in some time. I've been there and done it before, got the t-shirt and all that when results like this were half expected. But I'm certain that during those days we could muster more than one shot on target in a game. Thats totally unacceptable.
I dont believe it to be a confidence issue. when Grant was here, the players took it upon themselves to pull together and keep the team moving forward. Its basically the same players.
So whats the problem?
The loss of Steve Clarkes influence on the team?
Scolaris inability to have a few tricks up his sleeve to turn games in our favour?
Training methods?
Injuries to players?
Something is not right. Abramovich wanted flair. He got it, but at what price?
