Also the players have been terribly coached for years. It took a long time for things to shape up under Keegan the 2nd time because Allardyce had fostered such deep rooted turgid football in the players.
Agree in particular about the Keegan thing. I remember my Grandad (not long before he died actually) said to me "It's only a matter of time before you batter someone".
A week later we won 4-1 at Tottenham
Was it not 12 games before Keegan started to turn it?
McLaren is no Keegan.
Strange comparison.
