The thing that you have to wonder is: Why with different players over several seasons, the mental block remains. Is it something in the water there at the training ground?
No, its because of the manager. He cannot rally his players even if his life depended on it. And on top of it, we do not have a captain on/off the pitch who can do it either.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
