No we played a weakened team and a much changed team and the result was the consequence. It says nothing about the signings. Cherki did well I thought when he came on but the game was gone by then.
it shows the squad that we have aint good enough.....very few if any of those players that started tonight are good enough to play regularly....
Trafford, Khusonov Nico G aside.....the rest just showed they aint at the level required.
You can argue Marmoush but he doesnt start cause he aint replacing Haaland. He doesnt have a place in this team...nothing to do with ability but where does he play if Haaland starts
We have no winners in that starting 11 (yes previously Stones and Ake were but not now) and no warriors at all
Reijnders is fucking awful with what appears to be a very weak mentality. Sav even worse - his mentality is so weak. Bobb aint a wide player. RAN is a shameful player at present.....he is an absolute disgrace at present.
As for Cherki - at present he is a luxury Im not sure we can afford. I dont doubt his technical ability BUT he needs a different team around him and we dont have that team at present. The game wasnt gone....he brought Haaland on at the same time....20 mins left - we have won league titles twice in much less time. - do you believe any of that starting 11 would be capable of that?????? I dont - nowhere fucking near.
That weakened team is the other half of our squad! that wasnt even a championship performance from them
Ake is done as said over summer, Stones aint far off either.
Not many of that starting 11 should start against any decent prem team...and certainly not away from home....Zero aggression, drive or fight, Zero leaders
Haalands reaction to the second goal and at the end of the game says it all...he was looking as if he had given up
This weakened team bullshit is an excuse....our squad is weak barring about a starting 11 and a couple of subs.
