The closer we get to the transfer window the more convinced I am that we'll actually buy four players only one will make any impact next year due to injuries.
 
I'm watching the clasico and in the light of our performance today it's just so apparent we are just miles away from the level of these teams, let alone Peps Barca or Mourinho's Real who were much better than these two incarnations.

The way they move the ball, the way they play out the speed of thought, the movement...we're two levels below in everything.

4 or 5 world class players are needed and the owners just have to give Pep what he needs, and us fans just have to accept it and appreciate he knows better than anyone what a great side looks like.

If he wants to get rid of everyone or anyone in the squad to make that happen then that's what needs to be done.

Yep defending is shite though

This is absolutely correct. Not only that, they both played CL this week and were both going at it for the whole game. That shower of ours were out on their feet after 80 minutes after walking about for most of the game. It's no coincidence that English clubs are nothing but canon fodder when they play any team that moves the ball quickly and runs into space. 92 minutes Barca player crosses ball and there are FIVE Barca players in the box. I don't think we got five into the box all game!

Its not just the world class players, its the role players we need to improve.

Ter Steven and Navas made some magical saves to keep their teams in it. We need that. The guys off the bench were dynamic. We need players like that. Right now we are struggling to manage with error prone guys.

That's true but we already know that and I think everyone accepts it.

What everyone isn't on board with is replacing our best players because someone else is better, but I think that's where we need to get to.

not starting an argument but have you got a few examples? mbappe for kun, that sort of thing? because i cant think off of my head of better players than ours which are buy-able

Otamendi, Fernandinho, someone to bench Sterling and Sané. Someone who puts De Bruyne on the bench if he goes through another bad patch.

The players are buyable, we have the money, we have the wages and we have Pep.

okay i get that. First, why would you want to bench two young players who are having good seasons. Otamendi and fernandinho, aren't so young so probably are bench-able, but buy who exactly?
And you'll be first to say about the problems with rotation, so it's not easy to 'bench' players
