Not interested, because it doesn’t suit your argument ?

Can't wait. Swear sometimes even our CFG fodder doesn't make senseBench at Girona. Probably won’t start 10 games
No interested in how Liverpool did it, we played Chelsea 3 times last season and never looked like scoring.
Scoring 5s against weak opposition is no indication, it's in the tight games where a single chance is the difference, those are the times when we miss a ruthless striker.
We’d didn’t look like scoring because for some inexplicable reason, we didn’t once pick our best team or even trusted formation.
So is my missus…..apparentlyPossibly mate but he answers definitively either way and is always right?

We have 2 great DMs but don’t always play one.Ironically for all the need for a striker it's so obvious we lost the final due to lack of a proper DM handling counter attacks.
Still persist in my view that we needed to also try strengthen at DM and left back. Every season we've made it work in attacking terms but the defensive frailties have always been our achilles heel. They continue to be the difference in whether we win the title or not, or whether we win a big final or not.
Next season we need to replace Fern with someone like Ndidi.
I worry about our team and we simply miss too many chances.Not interested, because it doesn’t suit your argument ?
Kun at his very best in this team would be the cherry on the top of a beautiful cake.
Personally think Haaland would take us up another level, but that seems highly unlikely.
That's a different argument, and Pep must have had his reasons.We’d didn’t look like scoring because for some inexplicable reason, we didn’t once pick our best team or even trusted formation.
Get replacements in early. Fernandinho couldn't play 3 games in a row. Our only DM is Rodri. Given a long season what if there's an injury? Then you're stuck relying on a 36 year old for a good chunk of the season. Our only recognised left back is Zinchenko, the other one in custody till hearings are over and who knows what the outcome is? The preparation should've been better.We have 2 great DMs but don’t always play one.

Bissouma is a much better footballer. Ndidi’s passing is nowhere near good enough for us and we haven’t played with a pure destroyer since De Jong. More likely to end up in united’s workmanlike midfieldWe have 2 great DMs but don’t always play one.

We do seem to allow other teams to catch up to us far too often.
Should always strengthen and improve even when well ahead. LB, DM and striker are clearly weak/weaker areas. The club keeps expecting Pep to work miracles.
Like last season there is a big chance not improving those areas will bite us at the deeper end of the season.
