What always got me

There was NO movement. It was all SO static. People on the ball, with absolute nothing to hit...nobody running into space....in behind...dropping back to get open for the pass. I'd often be watching and there was literally nothing for the person on the ball to do but hump it.

Wtf were they doing on the training field to produce that?

I could go on....how lame the press was....how we had obvious tactical flaws that cropped up every game. Players in roles where it felt obvious they would fail.

The difference is incredible.
