The problem with them comparisons is that even without them two players unavailable they still have other good/world class players to pick up the slack. We lose are inform player (De gea) we've got Heaton because are back up wants out too
Pool lose Fabinho they have Salah, Mane, Trent, Jota same with Chelsea they lose Kante they have Jorginho, Reece James, Silva, Rudiger etc. Also they have a good coach and a world class one, while are manager seems to be struggling so far, regardless of who he is and what he's done.The problem with them comparisons is that even without them two players unavailable they still have other good/world class players to pick up the slack.

We wouldn't look weaker i'll agree there but still think top 4 with the way we're playing and with how out of form are players still doesn't get us top 4.
Maybe. It's a big if though and both are on a baron run atm we're 20 games deep and in the prem they have a combine goal scored of 5! Hopefully both pick up form like they did last year but can't see it in Sancho anyway, Mason does look lively at least.
Well here's to that, hopefully tonight is the catalyst.
I think it's a no-brainer but our club has never looked at it that way, they're always obsessed with the short term. Getting in a decent midfielder — of which there are many right now for super to cheap to cheap, relatively speaking, makes perfect sense. Getting top 4 isn't just about the money, it's about the players and coaches that we can attract to come and play for us when we're not at the Champions table. Sure, some might come, but only if we pay them more. And that's been our whole problem. A decent midfielder won't just give a platform to play, it will enable us to rest more of our squad in a season wrecked by Covid. It will improve morale by probably enabling our forwards and creative players to start firing and our defence to stop conceding. It will enable us to function better as a team overall and help us process and perfect Ralf's tactics faster. And that will all help the new manager next season. It's a win, win, win, win. But we will probably lose because our board doesn't look at it like that. And yes, I appreciate this isn't some magic bullet. Ideally, we need much better players than what we could get now. But you can't tell me, a decent midfielder wouldn't improve things a lot. And wouldn't be too expensive. We need to grasp the chance now.
I find the new hype around the phrase "press resistant" players a bit cringe. It basically means players who are good on the ball and don't give it away cheaply. Basically not McFred.
We were meant to have about 12 games in a row that we were meant to win or were "winnable". It's already gone to shit. Newcastle, Wolves and Villa all cocked up. Struggled over the line against Norwich and Burnley. There literally is no game that is winnable for us anymore. We are shit. Shut the club down.
How is it "new hype"? It's been around for over a decade.
We got plenty of those during the last decade. We don't need pretty good anymore, we need really good and I am not sure any of those are available in January. I am all for buying players and we desperately need a few midfielders but I am not sure signing one knowing that the manager will be gone in 5 months is a very smart idea.
