Football Brain
Top championship teams that get promoted have most of the players also with good football brains, until they come up against teams with better ones in the prem.
The last number of years where Blues have finished near the bottom of the table, I put this down to not having many of that skill set in the team. They get forward but don’t know what to do it.
I think it’s getting a bit better but still there’s a lack of cleverness going forward. Maybe Rooney needs a whole new squad and will be walking in quicksand. Fair play if he turns it around.
