They should, yes.
Our biggest problem is giving the ball away from good positions and not being able to recover as we've been pulled out of shape, usually through our own fault. Then there's set pieces obvs and goalkeeping errors.
Im not saying I want O'Neil there forever, but give him the...
Crap recruitment is the issue imo.
Some for better some for worse. See Man Utd. See Chelsea.
Bad individual decisions on the pitch, not a factor then? Misplaced passes, carrying the ball when you should pass, playing other players into trouble. Taking an extra touch when you should shoot. Not...
