I think everyone knows that we didn't replace Kompany then had a shocking injury to Laporte who's simply our best defender. No team in Europe can handle losing players of this calibre. The club knew Kompany was going and I think they've realised they can't rely on Stones and Otamendi. We all know that Zinchenko is a great lad, but he's not a good player really - we wouldn't sign him now. We know Angelino isn't good enough and signing players on the cheap costs us. We cannot go into next season without quality players in defence. This will be corrected when Koulibaly and Ake sign, I'm sure of that.
We also didn't sign a striker. We only have an ageing Aguero and Jesus really and we lack someone who can give Aguero a rest. We desperately need a Plan B and without it, too many teams fancied shutting up shop and just defending and it worked for a lot of them. We just couldn't break them down.
Maybe the pressure and intensity of the last two years and the World Cup just caught up with the players?
I've complete confidence that Pep and the Sheikh will fix everything and normal service will be resumed next season!
