The key word is hunger. It's affected us all, as even many fans have become entitled & just expect things will be alright come May. They won't!The engine room is broken, just like with the dippers, Rodri apart the players in the midfield are a shadow of themselves.
Big summer coming up for recruitment and I hope Khaldoon will blow the doors off the Sheiks safe, Arsenal have over taken us in recruitment, signing top quality, hungry, technical players, something we used to do.
Bernardo wants out. Well he can fuck off. Gundog is 33 this year. Kev is 32. Walker will be 33 soon & Mahrez will be 33 early next year.
Players physically wane as they get older, but whether 23 or 33, if you don't have the heart, desire & will to succeed, natural talent alone will never bridge that divide.
I see KDB like Gerrard. Brilliant players, but what made them special was their lung-busting effort. Take that away from their games at the highest level, & we're left relying on moments of sheer genius, instead of a concerted effect across 90 minutes.
After what Guardiola said last night, only one manager in the world has the status, experience & respect to rip into our underperforming Superstars, tearing them & our fans a new arsehole, & that's Pep. And when talking about our fans, I include myself too.
