There is no point to him keep saying that "If the players are not good enough we'll get more in.... simple" He has to make do with what he has, and manage them to play to the best of their ability. There's no point in flogging a dead horse trying to play a way that is clearly no longer is working.
Now other teams have sussed us out, its hard to see where the next 3 points come from, all the time Gus persists with his way of football.
Nine league games without a win and 3 or 4 points, suggests it isn't working any more.
He can't keep asking players to play a way they are clearly not up to playing.
Anyone manager can manage a team when they are winning every week. Great managers show their true worth when sides are struggling, and Lord Gus at the moment is coming up woefully short. He needs to sort things out fast, otherwise forget about Tottenham or another top side poaching him, he may well get his wish and go home.
Sure he has been unlucky with injuiries, but he has to manage the side, and manage the players he has left to their strengths. We all love the pretty football, but nows the time to change it for a while until we get things back on track. If he can't/wont do it and can't get the side playing another way, then we are in trouble.
Not many managers get away with this sort of run these days, and whilst thankfully no one has called for his head yet, he's going to have to start rethinking things, because its clearly not working any more Gus, and if he cannot come up with another system to kick start things again, I think Lord Gus of Poyet, may well be in for a bit of shock.
