We have brought in stellar talent with KDB and Sterling but are we, as a team, improving or not?
Agreed off the field were making great strides but on it I can't see any progress. Not once have I seen us organized in midfield and control a game for 90 mins. Last night we postured for 20 mins passed the ball well and looked pretty decent but then Everton had their first spell of possession and then it was them who controlled the midfield and looked more like winning the game. FFS our first attempt on target was in the 62 mins.....with one of our strongest line up. Its just not good enough.
Off the pitch the improvement is incredible.
Personally think the 11/12 squad would thrash us atm so no, on paper we've added better players since then but our best players ( Kompany aguero silva yaya zaba) are all a shadow of what they was In11/12 this season
Competing for 4 trophies at the moment I don't think we will be after the weekend thoughWe're still competing for 4 trophies, which is an utter shock considering the form we've been showing. Our play is only getting worse. We need Vinny back with the armband to rally the troops
Off the pitch the improvement is incredible.
Sergio had two shots saved towards the end of the first half, one by the keeper and one by Nunes Mori, so 62 minutes first attempt is rubbish.
As a brand I agree but what good are all our training facilities etc if none of the youth are given a chance / good enough. I feel sorry for our youngsters
