I think we are for a long season to be honest, pep isn't going to change his system anytime soon, he will continue to play it no matter what, yes its going to suck arse, but in the long run I think it will work. As pissed off as I am with todays result, If this is the system we are going to play whats the point playing a different system only to have to change it next season and suffer later on, we may as well become accustomed to it and take the pain now so its easier down the line. I know we all want results now, but I'd take a shit season this year and continual improvement there on in. Look at loserpool they had a shite first season under klopp but now they are looking a pretty decent outfit, we just have to have patience, and in hindsight, the first 10 games got us all giddy.
We all knew the weakness of the team last year. I'm damn sure pep did too, we did go after a centre half (laporte) but the lad shit out at the last minute, thats not really peps fault and shows he was aware we are shit there, we also struggled to move on the players in their last year so we could only do so much in bringing players in.. We have had our hands tied to a certain extent here, and as much as it annoys the shit out of me I'm glad the club didnt panic buy and leave us with more dross and a huge wage bill. Out of all the players in the last year of their contract I cant see any being kept on, that frees up a huge chunk of money and plenty of places for us to improve the squad, I know it hurts now blues but the future is bright, so fuck it have a drink, the only way is up.
