Hopes for the rest of the season

[Blu1]

That’s not positive or forward thinking.

well we can always bury our heads in the sand & say we can win everything once injured players are back. Injured players being laporte & sane. 2 players don’t have that much impact on a squad of our size. Sane was hit & miss if we are honest. You need more than one defender.

it’s time to start planning for next season this one is over & in my opinion with at least 5 players game time being up.

waiting till the summer is pointless & will cost us more next season especially when other teams are better placed with youth in their teams.

it’s the lack of planning why we are in this position. We should not go from total
Domination to this when everybody knew the issues with the spine of our team which have now gone.

Its not just been 2 players though all season has it?

Focus fully on the CL. I still think on our day, when everyone is fit, we can beat anyone.

Fully integrate Foden into our prem starting 11. Give Garcia some game time over otamendi.

Start to plan for the summer transfer window.

either extend pep’s contract or start recruitment for his replacement.

I think a League Cup and an FA Cup, finishing runners-up in the Prem.

The Champions League is such a lottery, the teams left are of a quality that a crazy five-minute spell can be the finest of margins.

I also expect us to beat Liverpool at home again.

no chance with that defence! Laporte will take time to get up to speed as well again. Not signing a replacement for vinny was beyond idiotic imo and we are suffering because of it. To not be going into the market in January just compounds that fuck up even further

every team has injuries. We clearly have a fitness issue with the amount we have. Our squad is not good enough & we are relying on too many old players & others who are not good enough. It’s time to use Garcia & Foden if nothing else for their energy.

You are dreaming mate. If I hear this one more fucking time.

We are maxed out at 17 foreign spots. We couldn't buy even if we wanted to and they were available.

Which English players would you suggest will be available?

Players we currently hold aren't suddenly going to uproot themselves in January.

Laporte will solve plenty of the issues, he's not going to need three months to get up to speed.

I see people talk about making £100m bids for a near 30-year-old Koulibaly?

They obviously don't watch him much, as he's a left-sided centre-half. You know, where Laporte already plays.

We had more than enough cover in central defence when Vinny left, as the only player we targeted was Maguire.

They didn't envisage Stones regressing at such an alarming rate or Laporte being injured for half a season.

That's just bad luck. You don't buy for the sake of it.

Van Dijk was out for ten months with an Achilles injury at Southampton, if he were to suffer an injury the Liverpool defence would look just as ropey as ours.

and that’s a question that should be asked ???
Our players look slow & have zero energy plus injuries. Why is that ? In my view it has to be down to training routines.

The players out always get injured stones, Mendy, Aguero. The big loss was laporte but we all knew we had no vinny replacement
So that’s down to club stupidity.

I agree injuries have been a factor but also a lack of depth in key positions & playing players out of position have not helped. Just screams lack of planning to me sadly

I don't have any expectations at all, I do have hope though, hope we can shake off this lethargy and self destruct mode and start achieving what we are capable of....!
