The amount of times I’ve seen us fail to trap a simple ball to feet beggars belief. The biggest difference I see between us and the truly top teams is the accuracy and crispness of the passing and the close control.Well , looking at the recent Chelski match ,it seemed plain to me that their expensive players had better technique on the ball .
That level of technique is what your millions will buy . We got to the top table with our amazing energy and press . Toby's key quote 'Without our effort we are nothing' still resonates in these days where those exceptional energy levels have dropped away .
Why that has happened I can't say , but in this new situation the probs stem from the technical shortcoming of many of our players
rather than their mentality IMO .
