Thats the issue. It was the same last season. We started off slow.
In the past we played 5-6 pre season friendlies. Under Poch its 3.
The idea is probably to save legs for the end of the season.
But we sent out a very rusty team. Only 2 players (Wanyama and Lamela) had played more than 90 minutes in the last 6 weeks.
At least 5 as far as I know.
