Anybody who can defend and is fast, our lot are like tortoises.
Will be an improvement on what we have thenLooks bang average to me
They did notice, they thought it made more sense to try and squeeze one more year out of that team for a few reasons, and re boot next summer. They probably made a mistake, looking back now.It happens when u have a small quality squad that has pushed past its limits to win a 4th league. Add in extra matches and bang its dead.
All we can do is learn from past mistakes and try to correct them over the next few windows.
The demise started last season unfortunately the club didn’t notice.
it's a more than one window job and we don't usually like doing business in the Jan window so even if we could have squeezed another year out of some we still needed 3-4 signings last summer. Something else was stopping us, maybe Pep being uncertain or the charges but there was a reason(s)They did notice, they thought it made more sense to try and squeeze one more year out of that team for a few reasons, and re boot next summer.

Though maybe long term doing it next summer may work out better than doing it last summer with the players available and the money and squad places freed up to fit those players in or maybe we’ll never really know.
There were many reasons stopping us wasn’t just one, Peps indecision will be one though. We couldn’t do 4 last summer without players leaving so thats another one.it's a more than one window job and we don't usually like doing business in the Jan window so even if we could have squeezed another year out of some we still needed 3-4 signings last summer.

Has Ake gone and injured himself again? This might be an insane situation of recurring injuries. Never seen anything like it.
A CB who can play RB would be ideal.
Ake was withdrawn due to fatigue. Pep asked Ake to withdraw himself as soon as he felt tired, so he gave Pep the signal.Has Ake gone and injured himself again? This might be an insane situation of recurring injuries. Never seen anything like it.

maybe not world class but they need to be very good in possession and midfielders need a good degree of football intelligencejust get players in, in January that fit the system and you’ll see us win again. Right now the players don’t fit the system Pep wants to play. They don’t have to be world class just able to fit how Pep wants to play, midfield is key to Pep’s system
