Totally agree, we've seen this time and time again, either he's buying and bringing the wrong players in or he's just not able to inspire them and bring out that fighting spirit and never say die attitude, either way he's to blame in some form.

These powderpuff efforts in big games that matter are nothing new, it's been happening for years now with different groups of players, clearly there's a lack of hunger or belief somewhere, some of the smaller teams seem to have greater belief in their ability to beat the top sides than we do.
