It's clear the squad needs a complete kick up the arse. The world has seen us and they would undoubtedly think that we were poor, if not pathetic.
I would never be upset losing if the team genuinely tried hard. The way we played was worse than making me angry it makes me disappointed. It's one thing to lose 3-2 to a goal in the dying seconds, it's another to have Liverpool stroll to a 2-0 without them getting out of 2nd gear. This is the biggest game of our teams lives and they seemed to treat it like a preseason friendly. Barca or Ajax would have humiliated
I still think it was a bad decision not to go a hot weather conditioning camp. Liverpool did and they were always quicker and more energetic than us. But there did seem to be a more serious issue. Constant negative passing, that's if we even when we strung a few passes together at all. No one seemed to know how to beat the Liverpool's back 4, except for just hoofing it and hope.
Eriksen needs to be sold. Alli needs to find his place back in the team where he was comfortable. Sissoko needs to learn to pass and shoot ASAP (I mean how can a player never get near the target, despite being just outside the box and under no pressure?) People like Trippier need to be put on final warnings or just replaced if they argue. We need need players with an aggressive, leadership attitude that will kick the other players up the arse if they deserve it, like Keane or Viera.
At least Poch is staying because his work is far from done, that much is clear.
