Given slams defenders

“I do not want to dig things out or blame any individuals, but we have given Brian McBride, one of the best players in the Premiership in terms of heading the ball, total freedom of the six-yard box. It is amazing — but we have to talk about it privately and get it sorted out within the camp.”
