‘The whole team was in shambles. For every goal, you can pick someone out. There was no awareness, the two full-backs Wan-Bissaka and Dalot not following their men.

‘As soon as you put that red shirt on at the moment, your performance level goes down 10 or 20 percent. I can’t think of one player in the last 10 years who is better than when they signed them. It’s unbelievable.
‘Getting the right manager is a must to start with before you start throwing £100 million at it again.’
