I said a few times, I think he lost them in the preseason in many respects. Those very public long runs in the Korean heat wouldn't have gone down well with a lot of people's egos. I can't imagine too many were pleased to have been shown up so publicly by the youngsters beating them in those runs. In Korea he was also making them do double sessions on days and then play a friendly match in the evening. I know players have to be professional but sometimes it just goes too far.
Now it actually looks to be doing us harm, we've conceded so many late goals recently, I suspect the players are just shattered from chasing the ball for 90 minutes every match, having to bust a gut both physically and mentally to come back from being behind so many times in games too. I'm glad there is no tournament this summer before preseason.
