I often go back to the old adage “under pressure, you sink to the level of your preparation”

To play with pace, you need all 5 guys playing with pace. That means they know where to go and you know where to find them.

There is an argument that the blender, while used to search for short term chemistry, may not exactly help develop the line chemistry that comes with familiarity.

I see it as not just the player effort, there are several layers of coaching to look at. Strategy and motivation are a couple.
Just like with anything it's probably a bit of column A and a bit of column B but his poor play this season is mostly on him and not Monahan/Lindholm/Peters
