How do we get better next season?

My worry is how tired they have looked 2nd half last 2 games
Most of these will be going to the World Cup so fatigue might set in earlier next season
Win league v Swansea or West Ham them let the big guns have an extended rest

Fatigue is a real issue I think. A few of our side have just gone past their peak for this season. Pep rotated very sparingly in the first two thirds of the season, in all comps, really. And I think we're paying for that now. When we have really need to in th past few weeks, we just haven't been able to step it up and find thst extra gear when we have needed it. We played with such intensity, with and without the ball, all season but thst has just dropped a bit. I hope pep rotates a little more, next season, which I think he will do if he further moulds a squad he has more faith in.
 
How about playing with 2 strikers, but most of all, how about shooting more. Shocking to think we mustered 3 shots on target over 180 minutes.
 
World class striker (Griezmann?)
A new DM
A LB
CB (umtiti?)
And a winger (play B.Silva as a CM)
 
3 key things for me:

- Having another striker option (given Jesus is 21 and sergio has injury/gametime issues)
- Having a replacement for Fern (he's in his 30s and could probably benefit from being spelled - Fred seems like the option there)
- Having an option for KDB (Gundog/Bernado seem the obvious combo but is there anyone else)
- Fullbacks: esp. at right back I think we are light

Anything.anybody else?

(EDIT: i said 3 but meant 4!)
Player mentality. We have a great squad that has a weakness IMO, when the chips are down we dont have the mental strength across the patch
 
Few things for me... Possibly already said. I would also say we've had a great season, with some of the best football Ive ever seen played anywhere. But....


We don't score enough from the possession / chances we create.

We don't hit the target enough

We seem to give up too many goals for the amount of possession / chances the opposition have

We have on several occasions shipped multiple goals in quick succession.

Stronger Mentality...

and finally, the refereeing we've been subjected too has been nothing short of disgraceful.


Still a great season, but if we can improve on some of those at least the next few seasons, we could be even better!!
