We nearly won it all last season. We looked the most balanced we have ever been under Pep. We’re better at the back and in midfield. Sergio has left, but replacing him is very difficult.

No one will get it and rightly so because we won PL last season. Once pep leaves we have to go through a major squad change. New wingers, strikers, fulls backs, DMs etcOur squad has not declined from 2017/18? Sorry but that just isnt true.

I did not say we weren't good, but our squad quality has absolutely declined from the 100 point season. In terms of pure performance, that was our best season under Pep too.We nearly won it all last season. We looked the most balanced we have ever been under Pep.

How do you possibly work that out, since 18, more trophies, more points , more goals, more records. Unless you think 100 points is the new par, but that would be ridiculous.Our squad has not declined from 2017/18? Sorry but that just isnt true.

I disagree. We’re better all over the pitch than we were in 17/18, apart from a goalscorer. 17/18 team were great to watch, but I don’t think they would beat last seasons team.
It’s not a slow decline. We’ve got the number 1 and number 2 chance creators."until Chelsea this season" exactly, sorry for not being happy at the slow decline of squad quality, given only couple of years ago we were miles ahead of the rest.
We just have to use the guy that plays up front for Spain more.
I meant it out in the open for the club, not me personally.Why? What are you going to do differently now that you know?
The decline in the squad would be much sharper and harsher if he just fucked off at the end of next season suddenly.
If the squad knows now privately, it’s no differently to it being news.

We're much weaker in the holding role though, it's not just the lack of a goalscorer.

Thought it was common knowledge that he was doing two more seasons and then leaving

Im not a big fan of Rodri, but in terms of the opta graphs and charts, he’s brilliant. I wouldn’t say we are weaker in that position seeing as we have both Rodri and Fernandinho and in 17/18 we only had Fern.
