That 2nd half performance should make Smith very nervous. That was well into diabolical territory.
Maybe he needs another coach, or someone on the staff needs replacing, like how Ferguson would hire Queiroz and the like when he felt he was going stale. Someone to help tactical management. I mean, if it's good enough for Ferguson then it's good enough for Smith.

Most people would rather have McGinn over McCarthy I assume. That's just one player. We have more players who can give the ball away cheaply than any other team and it all stems from the middle. Shit passing, dallying on the ball, no leaders or winners in there. I'll also add is McGinn as good as Eze?

Someone to help tactical management. I mean, if it's good enough for Ferguson then it's good enough for Smith.Ferguson for all his tea cup tossing bravado was also light years ahead of others in terms of what it took to run a massive club. That is coaching, analytics, squad management and the psychological warfare against all others in getting that edge. I don’t think Dean Smith is broad enough mentally to grasp all of that.
