It looks like they'll be spending big again but on that midfield this time. We shouldn't be standing still and letting our rivals over take us and if we dont sign anyone and refresh the team it will be very difficult to retain the title.
They wont get near the same points total next season. Everything went their way this season. Injuries, decisions, time between matches, media and catching teams at the right moment (star players injured or tired/out of form). Where as we had bad injuries, bad decisions, terrible media, etc and still only dropped 2 points from previous season.
Alison looks a bit over confident.
Defence looks solid but backups are definitely below standard.
Midfield is only missing creative player player but again no backup. Fabinho, keita, Chamberlain are good players but the rest are just busy.
Front 3 are very good at causing panic and mayhem in defenses. Decent finishers but again after that very poor. Again they lucked out with origi getting important goals, wont happen again imo.
Summary
They need 1 creative mid for 1st team.
Gk, lb, CB, am and 2 forwards for cover. They cant be as lucky as last time with injuries and form.
