Watching Unai in pre and post match interviews, he looks absolutely knackered and fed up, lets hope that he still wants to be our Manager next season.

Of course he'll be here next season.

Dear Unai.
Bogarde is not a fullback.
Nedeljkovic is a fullback

Well done Unai. Now go home and get a good night's sleep. He looks absolutely exhausted and worn out. Needs a good rest.

Unai - for the love of god do something different away from home. We are too sloppy to try and control possession and then we make it so easy for teams to defend against us. The style doesn’t work, stop repeating the same mistake.

He won't change. He'll feel that the way we played in the second half is enough to wear teams down eventually. Keep the ball, keep probing in their third, wait for the gap and exploit it. He was almost right.

He’s not though - across a long period of time our away results show it doesn’t work.

I’m not normally one to criticise the boss, but he needs to trust the squad as we was much sharper second half.

Some of it is the fault of the players, so is Unai and the coaches, some is the recruitment.
