That was what was to blame today, turned up clearly expecting to put 4 or 5 past crewe. I remember back to before these three home games when clough was asked about getting 9 points, and he said "no, we have to be reasonable". The players looked as if they thought "oh we've done enough with 6 points , we don't need to win today." That's what it looked like to me!
It was incredible how slow it was today, no one showing any urgency AGAIN, no matter how bad a team is, if you play as slow as what we did today you'll never break them down and outscore a team
The question is though...why? Why have the players suddenly lost their confidence after winning 4-0. That for me is a serious motivation issue in the dressing room. Now I'm not calling for clough to be sacked now, but his position will be seriously under threat if we don't go up, and has to go if we don't even reach the play offs.(which is becoming increasingly likely likely)
The least I ask for when I watch united Is a bit of passion. That was no where near good enough today. Not the first time this season either!
