Its 100% not a tactical instruction that you stand there doing nothing and just ball watch. Unfortunately it is the weak mentality of our players who buckle too often when under pressure. Just look at our away record which is a real sign of a teams mental fortitude. After Christmas we won 2 away games with 1 of them against 10 man villa and then last day of season against relegated sheff utd. That's a horrendous record. Our players are so mentally fragileThat clip was one of the occasions yesterday where that exact scenario played out. To be fair to Romero it seems like the whole defence just ignore the opposition and allow them free runs at us. Makes me think it’s a tactical thing. I can’t fathom how defenders at this level would keep allowing that to happen unless they were told to do that.
