It’s not long ago that a lot of people thought we were genuine title challengers. In fact, it was only a few weeks. Let’s not over react. Today was bad, but we’ve had worse. In another day, we would have only lost by the odd goal. We need to go back to basics. Get some heart back into the team. We need fighters. I know most don’t like him, but Phil Jones has got more fight than all of todays 11 put together. We’re not title contenders yet, we have at least 4 years before that happens. Let’s concentrate on trying to get into the top 4 and accept that a trophy is beyond us at the moment. As for Ole, I doubt he’ll survive, but I would keep him until the end of the season.
Yes and those people were seriously blinded by three big glamour signings when we still dont have a single quality central midfielder consistently. A lot of people were concerned we didnt sign anybody in that position. We have been poor almost every single game this season, just 15mins of magic often saving us Leeds, Newcastle, Villareal and Atalanta are all examples of this....the first half v Atlanta without the ball was almost as bad as today.
Phil Jones helps solve our problems? FFS.....Whay are we at least four years away from winning a title, what utter nonsens, we are four players away maybe, what changes in four years otherwise.
Ths simple truth is our process in terms of signings and outgoing every single season for a long time hasnt een enough in any window, same this summer, three signings and only one of them was in a position in dire need of improvements when there are several others more needed....and again a squad of over thirty....we only sold Dan James! Add poor coaching and management.
Its easier said than done, bt the right manager and coaching, clearing out some of the shite still here, such as Phil JOnes and signing a coupel fo good players. That can all be done is a season or so, look at Chelsea as an example, K;lopp took over a weak squad and got them challening within 3years too
