Brave or naive? That seems to be the question on many people’s lips.
I say neither.

Ange needs his players to *believe* and to *trust* and to see that the consequences of failure in his system are nothing to fear.

@ravipatel @coys Also, sorry to be nippy with you. Feeling, among many other emotions, a bit nippy after that game. Primarily proud of the integrity on show, but also annoyed and disappointed by the injuries and suspensions. But it’s early days - mustn’t expect too much. 😄
