It’s not that I totally doubt he was on the right track with those comments, but he was still off on a bunch of other things. His style really only works for fans if he’s winning though, because as soon as he’s not getting results it’s terrible to watch and then of course he’s caustic after those defeats.
I didn’t expect Mason to fix that in a few days, and I don’t think we should be keeping him forever. But I did expect the players to play hard and work hard today. Instead we had a lot of passengers and some guys who just put in half-hearted efforts. I do question some of the decisions made by Mason as well. Sissoko? Winks for 90 minutes?
