i obviously hope you're mate, but what i've witnessed in the last couple of months it will take more than a couple of new faces to put this rightI do. I'm not having it that there are 4 teams better than us this year. I reckon a couple of new faces in Jan will get us top 5.
that was a bad utd side yesterday and we had completely gone second half

We have certainly made mistakes over the last few years with many of our larger signings being release clauses. Maybe the rough and tumble of hard negotiation isn’t for our existing DOF. We do need a focus on A list players to improve our former A list that have come to the end of their time with us.We went big for Grealish and he's on the bench these days. I think that move spooked the recruitment team. Lets face it we should be in for the likes of Mbappe even when we have no chance. In for Salah just to make Liverpool give him a contract. Getting up teams noses just because we can. Our recruitment and off the field guys have not been up to scratch of late and have taken their eye off the ball. And Pep needs telling things like you can't go into the season with just 1 striker, we know your a genius but one striker even god can't do that.

I made about £150 backing those fuckers yesterday. Of course, I'd sooner wish that I lost my money and we won or even drew the game but like you say there's money to be made backing the opposition at the moment and it more than pays for my piss-up at Villa Park on Saturday"If the rot continues" keep backing the opposition rags I got 4/1 ,Aston Villa are 9/4 .

There are several players who should not be playing apart from 10 minutes to see out a game we are comfortably winning. Remember those!
Walker, Gundoghan, Nunes.
There are quite a few that cannot be relied upon to stay injury free but are still good players when not injured.
Stones, Ake and Akanji. On balance one of them at least should be fit to play alongside Dias.
So we need a RB now to partner Dias, Stones and Gvardiol. Akanji can do it but given the injury record of Stones and Ake he'll be playing plenty of games at CB.
Midfield? Where to start? Kovacic and the new midfielder?
In front of them
Phil who is showing signs of life. Kevin and Bernardo, but not at the same time, Doku or Grealish depending on the opposition.
Haaland up top.
So 3 signings in January. As everyone knows a RB, CM and a goalscoring 10 to give Erling some support and rest.
On paper this sounds good. But the biggest problem the squad faces I feel is mental. We've, the players,have lost belief in each other and in Pep's way of playing.
Lots of talking needs to take place in the dressing and new leaders need to emerge form the younger group.

Could have been but the players were too busy getting pissed apparently so hard to tell.In hindsight, was the FA Cup Final a sign?

That was my point really. Had we ever before seen the players drop their professional standards like that? They effectively threw the game.
I know it was an outlet after a gruelling, but still successful, season but they might have waited a few days.
Was there a suggestion that we’ve seen it all and done it all now?
