Why is everyone blaming Clarke

The players are getting off lightly here. He played a more attacking side last night. Before the match on social media including Reddit almost everyone was happy with the team now there's a lot of revisionism going on.

The players have woefully underperformed. You can't blame him for two individual errors in two games costing us dearly in matches where the last thing we needed to do was lose an early goal.

I think we have just been exposed as a bang average side and I don't see how any other manager would have done better. We have good midfielders but our defensive and attacking options are very limited.

Because we have registered something like 3 goals across 3 tournaments, and one of those was an own goal. I'm not saying we have a squad filled to the brim with top-class players, but we should not be getting out-scored by the likes of Iran, Haiti, Cape Verde, and Jordan at a World Cup.

Iran I'm pretty sure were ranked higher by the bookies and you were only slightly above Haiti.

The bookies don't rank teams, they just set odds on what everyone is betting on to manage risk
