Biggest difference for me in our great escape squads and this one is the demeanor of the squad.
The escape teams had an intensity and focus about them, no smiles just determination. They looked gutted when results didn't go our way.
Contrast that with Smiley Selles and our current crop. They look like they don't have a care in the world. So disconnected. At the end of games they are all smiles and chatty with the oppo. WTF?! I'd be fucking devastated and already planning how to fix it and up the performance. Not this lot, off to post on tiktok and give a soundbite that they don't even believe in. All smiles in training. It's weird.
