I think you under-rated how bad some of our players are, looking at that squad I'm shocked it was only by 3-0 they lost.We weren't even in the top 3 in the league for number of players lost to injury or total days missed due to injuries last season.
Tottenham arguably had worse injuries and finished noticeably above us with a manager in his first season who hadn't spent much, played attacking football and lost the best player in the clubs history.
Excuses, excuses. A good manager could get far more out of what our available squad was for most weeks of last season. Just as a small example the squad that got battered 3-0 by Newcastle at Old Trafford last season included
Onana
Dalot
Wan Bissaka
Maguire
Lindelof
Evans
Reguilon
Casemiro
Mount
Amrabat
McTominay
Eriksen
Bruno Fernandes
Hannibal
Antony
Garnacho
Martial
Hojlund
Give Eddie Howe that squad and I wonder what happens in that match. It's not the Harlem Globetrotters sure but it's an available squad that so many managers would do a lot with.
So many examples of this.
Maguire, Lindelof that alone is a defensive sabotage, McTominay, Amrabat are just shit and should be shamed for wearing our shirt, the less I talk of Antony the better, Martial made of glass, Casemiro was out of form or legs gone and Eriksen is the same.
You are now left with Bruno, Garnacho, Holland, Dalot, Onana that I consider up for it.
