Our problems are nothing to do with skill, fitness, tactics, team shape or motivation. It's the teeth!

Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the pitch, say dentists.
Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, showed nearly four out of 10 had cavities.
They found 53% had dental erosion, 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play.
Around 40% had tooth decay, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.
Players from Manchester United, Hull, Southampton, Swansea, West Ham, Brighton, Cardiff and Sheffield United all took part in the study.
Something for our coaching staff to chew over
