In recent seasons we always start well, and start playing as a relegation candidate side in the latter stage of the season.
Fitness levels probably play a part in that, which Igor has spoken about.
Prioritisation on the EL last season and poor performances overall.
This group of players always react to managers, and quickly revert back to type which is absolute rubbish, but its not as if we were that good in the beginning of the season under Frank.
If we say it how it is, theres no way we are near the relegation zone if we didnt suffer so many injuries. Kudus, Maddison, Kulu and Bergvall would be a massive help and elevate us to higher positions.
It still does not excuse poor decisions and managerial incompetence, or the relative inertia of the winter window.
