Mate, no one is saying get rid of ETH, but there is an element on him. That gap in the defence.. Icardi has had so much space for since the first half.
I 100% doubt he's telling Casemiro Mount and Eriksen to not track back. Our players are just lazy, they don't track back. The only one who did it was Mejbri and we took him off.
If you believe that the surely some blame lies with EtH.
Don't get me wrong, I 100% support the guy and would be apoplectic if we got rid as quickly as this.
But if our players are lazy (especially the ones he signed himself) then he has to take some blame for that. Part of his job is motivating players and not everyone seems to be motivated, certainly not for 90minutes.
And taking off the only midfielder who was tracking back can only be on him obviously.
100% it's always a gray area. Some of it is on EtH, and some of it on the players of course. But the fact that the players just don't work enough is on them. You shouldn't need a manager to constantly have to motivate you to run and track back. Playing for this club used to be enough to make you work your socks off, not anymore...
