Poveda looked decent in fairness and would have given most LBs in the league a good game based on his display. It’s almost like we’ve got a lot of talented lads in that academy of ours...

Completely agree though that we need a new LB as Mendy just isn’t up to it.

Yea dig wasn't at Poveda. It was more to highlight that Mendy was being targeted due to the fact the opposition know he is a weak spot.

Bayern's team that won the Champions League Final last season:

Neuer - €30m
Kimmich - €8.5m
Boateng - €13.5m
Alaba - €150k
Davies - €10m
Goretzka - Free
Thiago - €25m
Gnabry - €8m
Müller - Free
Coman - €21m
Lewandowski - Free

You don't need to spend crazy money for good players. Bayern's back four cost €10m less than Mangala.

Our recruitment is poor at times and a bit one dimensional.....too many similar players...mahrez, bernardo foden torres...all like to come inside...add jesus to that kist...all technically proficient but lightweight and besides torrres no real speed merchants

The club underestimated the loss of kompany

We cannot underestimate the loss of Sane and Silva - the club have however at present

If they make tge same mistake when sergio and ferna go we will get dragged back more and more into the chasing pack

If they make the same mistake

that’s because they get players to run down there contracts and then buy them cheap. Ala Sane.

We are already in the chasing pack.

Next step is Europa League level team.
 
If this last few performances along withbsome from last season dont ring alarm bells then a big shake up is needed...we need a rebuild....carrying too much averageness...mendy, gundo, mahrez, zinchenko cancello...all should be sold at the very least.

Serious questions over Stones and rodri as well

This transfee window has addressed one concern at centre half but there are other glaring issues

Smashed by leicester
Could easily have bern beaten by wolves
Beat a very poor burnley side
Could have lost to Leeds.

What will happen when we come up agsinst the scousers and chelsea? Everton look like they coukd beat us as well

We are in a battle for top 4 make no mistake about it.....we wint get near the title if we dont do something in the next few days and that seems highly unlikely
 
Positives, 2 tough away games out the way (1W, 1D). We will have a full squad post international break, and will undoubtedly look much, much sharper. Leicester result no doubt troubling but context matters, I think we will push on well from here. An added left back would be great, if not I'd like to see Aké there more.

The only 2 worth another season are Cancelo and Rodri, all the rest are simply not good enough.

I'd like to see Aké there exclusively.

What a disingenuous shite post. This isn't Bundesliga where you can buy Goretzka and Lewandowski from your rivals for free. Nearly every german player that plays in that league grows up dreaming playing for Bayern. You think Kane is running down his contract at Spurs to sign for City for free? They enjoy a ridiculous privileged position that no other club in world football has.

I said pretty much the same thing yesterday and was accused of being a liverpool fan! People need to get real and quick. We ain't a bad side but we look far from being a title winning one. No doubt people will say "Its only 3 games", they need to look at the last 18 months, lost around a quarter of our league games last season and have already dropped 5 points in first 3 this.

That doesn't explain them signing Davies from MLS for €10m does it? Or Thiago from Barcelona? Or Coman from Juventus?
