Let's be honest... Fred the mascot has got more chance of winning the ballon d'or than Fred the 'player'.

How can a team bringing in Haaland, Phillips, Cucurella, and Alvarez be considered complacent in any way shape or form? This is getting more ridiculous by the day...I’m not in anyway panicked I’m just merely pointing out lack of options last season effectively cost us 2 final places. The 3 paragraphs was more of a reflection of my boredom than anything else.
Football is cyclical we can’t become complacent and at times I think we rely on peps brilliance to paper over some cracks I.e no left back and no striker last season yet we still won the league. We also didn’t replace kompany and as a result we suffered in the league. The club is run amazingly well but they are not infallible.
To compete in the 4 competitions (which is obviously our aim) I think we do need more numbers.

We only suffered for 1 season in the league & then signed Dias, Garcia deciding he wanted to go back to Barca probably accelerated that. I'd rather we look long term rather than short term even if it means short term pain.I’m not in anyway panicked I’m just merely pointing out lack of options last season effectively cost us 2 final places.

If selling Raz & Jesus means Bernardo stays & Palmer gets more game time, then it will be worth it.

Our team got a kicking in Madrid a few days before the semi. The Dippers had a home tie against Benfica where they rested first teamers.We threw the fa cup at the semi final stage (again) as everyone said we needed to rest players at that stage. That horrible team managed to play every single game last year, as mentioned during the season their depth probably eclipsed ours. Considering our recourses I don’t want us to get deep into a comp and feel we have to forfeit it
Went to the semi final and was gutted on the day but throwing it was the right thing to do. I think the Dippers have got a bigger squad than us but they burnt out near the end. Klopp was prioritising the CL went he sent out the reserves at Southampton but they got away with it

We actially threw fuck all. Stefan had 2 major brain farts and Jesus missed a fucking sitter to make it 3-3

Exactly. I'm sure the club are not using it as a selling point either.This 4 th choice bollocks has to stop ….
It’s not a Richard Wright or Scott Carson situation .. if we signing a CB I’m pretty sure they will be backing themselves to grab a starting place …. Unless it’s Phil the face or JFE

Bernardo obviously needs to stay, but Palmer is nowhere near good enough to adequately replace Sterling. We need a signing at least on Sterling’s level because over 60 games we cannot afford a drop in standard when we have injuries and/or suspensions, and CL games two days after a league match, etc.
We can put out an absolutely superb first XI when everyone is available, but over so many games we need double that amount of players without the drop in standards a young kid causes. We need a left back, hopefully Cucurella, and a top class right winger, ideally with pace.
