This is so lifeless. some of them look like they know he is done
I don't think they've stopped playing for him tbh, I think they're doing exactly as they're told, but those instructions are clearly nonsense. I don't think they're choosing not to make off the ball runs, or to press - they're instructed not to because his defensive plan is based on rigid, inflexible shape.
Defeat here won't make a difference to Jeff, it will have already been priced in imo. We'll scrape enough points out of the games between now and United on boxing day so that we're somewhere between 16th and 19th, and that will be enough for him to point to 'improvement' and keep his job, then survival is basically a coin toss.
