Get the feeling this manager has taken these players as far as he can.
Manager not the problem-let’s admit it it’s the players.

To me do not look even close to scoring.

Actually, Clive's analogy attracted up arrows. Again this shows the importance of reading carefully before responding!

Actually I demonstrated the importance of getting the wording correct .! I meant the OP was down arrowed ... 15 now

Either way, it demonstrates a propensity by some on this board to react too quickly. To be clear, not a criticism of you, just highlighting how easy it is to slip.

For me the Curbishley analogy reinforces the OP's point and demonstrates how perception alters reactions. Clive and the OP are broadly making the same point (that the manager isn't the problem) yet one gets umpteen up arrows, the other umpteen down arrows. It's as if some folk are paying more attention to who's talking rather than what's being said.

If MC has indeed taken the team as far as he can, the fairly obvious conclusion is that this mainly flags up his limits as a coach, I'd have thought.

Au contraire. If you read the OP's entire paragraph (as opposed to focusing on just the first sentence) then the obvious conclusion is that the players are limited and there's only so much that MC (or indeed any manager) can get out of them.

As the time-honoured saying goes, a manager is only as good as his players.
