It has been coming for a while now. Players can only take in their stride, what seems to be unfulfilled promises from the management, for so long. The frustration was bound to hit the ceiling, and it has.
Lisandro Martinez just let the cat out of the bag after losing to Atletico Madrid. The irony was that the team was a little better than what they had shown in the Premier League. But the same problems were there to see. Lethargic football, weak duels, and simply no threat in the opposition's box.

Clearly there was something wrong with the mentality of the players and today we found out what it was. Lisandro declared his dissatisfaction at the poor business that United did in the summer. It was clear to everyone that we were desperate for defensive reinforcement, but the management seemed more interested in penny pinching.
We needed a left back desperately in the summer. Instead we had to line up without a recognized LB against Atletico because both Shaw and Dorgu are injured. It is no surprise that the players are so dissolutioned, Bruno especially.
The next few weeks are looking bleak. Where do we go from here now?
