The Fear

Some thoughts on the manager, the players and 'the fear'.

 

Probably nothing that others haven't said before but felt like jotting down my feelings.

A good read as usual, would agree about MP's game management. You could see the Palace game turn and Watford's plan for the second half was clear as day yet we changed nothing. An argument could be made that we don't want to be reactive and instead impose our style of play onto others but, the reality is, we are in a scrap and can worry about style of play etc in the off season or if/when we have secured our place in the league for next year.

 

The Redmond baiting is a good point. Not many of our players have covered themselves in glory this season yet he seems to get far too much stick based on things like Puel's Henry comparison and MP's decision to stick with him when not at his best (neither of which were his fault). He strikes me as a confidence player, he has stopped trying to beat men as often and looks to turn for safer options. This is a young player who made the England squad and took City apart. He's certainly not as bad as some make out.
