I have already alluded to this on match thread. This is a consistent problem for us now. We do well, give ourselves a boost and a chance then go away to play opposition we are capable of beating and don’t just lose, but play absolutely abysmally.
Georgia twice, Slovenia. Macedonia was first campaign game but still - abysmal. Czech Republic.
Having read Archie McPherson book, witnessed some of these performances personally and now been told on radio that team only arrived in Israel on Tuesday night, I conclude that there really is a huge problem and it is chronic.
It is more than logistics though and I really do not know why we keep doing this with squad after squad, manager after manager.
All answers very welcome.
