Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Mr. Zucchini Head"I agree with him to an extent. The way Koukash handles himself at times is indeed an embarrassment. I don't agree that he's to blame for this though.
The players didn't appear to be demoralised last week when they came back to win. So what has changed in the last 5 days?
Regardless of what Koukash has or hasn't done, the players should show a bit of professional pride.'"
Yeah this was kind of my line of thinking as well. Sure Marwan is erratic and controversial with most of the things he says, and he can come across as being very unprofessional at times, but I'm not sure how he can be directly blamed for this performance.
Off the top of my head, the only thing I think he said this week was that he didn't expect his side to win tonight. I mean I guess the players could read that and be demoralised, but I'd be surprised if that alone led to tonight's scoreline.
I think it's more likely tht they had one eye on next week's far more important and winnable fixture.
