You completely lost me here

Roy's job isn't just to turn up and say "go on lads, give it ya all!" after naming 11 players

Look at Spain's 4 year domination, nobodies talking about the great attitude the players had. It's the iconic style of play that'll go down in the history books.

Agreed, Roy H imo probably spent too much energy fostering team spirit and not enough on tactics and strategy. We now realise the Man U players hated each other and Fergie, most have fallen out (SAF with Roy K, Becks, Jap Staam, Blanc, Ince, and Rooney and yet won titles and trophies), Italy's ex captain Cannavaro said when they won in 2006 title the players were bored with lack of facilities but this focused them on winning united by league scandals. This England spenta lot of time tweeting like a holiday camp when they should have been reading The Art of War.

How can you give tactics to players like Rooney, Gerrard, Sterling, Barkley? they're players that play whats in front of them, they play in the moment, off the cuff.

How does any manager know how a game is gonna pan out? anything can happen in a game of football.

You can have a game plan of how you want to play, but if the players don't have the attitude to do their jobs to the best of their ability then it means nothing.

The main messages Woy would have given his team would have been.

1 Concentration - You know your jobs, make sure you concentrate on doing your job for the full 90 minutes (one switch of and you can get punished against World class players).

2 Don't leave nothing in the dressing room - This is the pinnacle of your careers, dig deep and give everything you've got, you may not get another chance.

3. Enjoy it - You've worked hard to get here, play with a smile on your face and be positive.
