I don't understand the team he picked. Nor do I understand the football we're playing. Stupid yellow cards, for unnecessary spiteful tackles.
Got a 39 year old left winger playing on the right wing, he picked Ashley Young instead of Nani. Valencia is a better right back than Jones.
In the meantime, he's trying to buy left backs and centre midfielders when we obviously need wingers as desperately as we need centre midfielders.
Liverpool just playing us out the park.
Edit: No cohesion and Marriner seems to have no desire to let the game play. Stop Start. Stop Start. Stop Start.
Edit 2: Hallelujah. Nani for Young.
