He came out looking like a clown with no spine. He should have been smarter. It was obvious he was a very short term approach and should have used that short term to make any decision he thought it has to be done. Go balls out.
He basically behaved like a puppet without any incentive to do so. Being a short term, the last-ditch solution should have given him some advantages to be braver, but he failed.
He declined his power and his attribution, like others before him when facing Messi and the Amigos. If things are as bad as you say with the behavior in the team, and there are players who cause problems, fucking bench them with all risk. You have nothing to lose.
He came to the club with totally the wrong mentality and is now complaining that he was dicked around by the dictators in the team, saying he couldn't be true to himself. Come the fuck on, what are you, a chair or something?
I'm sorry Sarabia wasn't the manager and Setien his assistant.
