Strength in Depth Myth

take ramos , iniesta , busquets , messi , suarez out of Barca's side , and they would struggle against a top 6 spanish team never mind top 6 premiership , Harry Redknapp ? how does he know what a good squad is , hes never won f*ck all , and the mess he made at QPR confirms it .
 
Give me a break. We probably have the best squad the PL has seen thus far.

We've had the best squad for the last 4 or so years. We have never had the best manager tho, not even close.

We do have backup in every position but probably only have 2 world class players, Silva and Aguero. 2 years ago I would have added Zabaleta, Kompany and Toure to that list but Zaba and Yaya are both on the decline which is only natural as they are both in their 30's and on the evidence of last season Vinny is probably coming towards the end of his peak. In my opinion, the areas we desperately need to strengthen next summer are GK, LB, CM and possibly a top class striker to provide competition for Sergio. Along with Chelsea we have the strongest squad in the league and I think we will have enough to win it but I agree that our squad is overrated probably due to the inflated transfer fees we pay.

Fair points made with not enough pressure on CD as well when a fit and firing VK is available.

We also don't have a top class manager or a manager who knows how to get the best out of the team in terms of achieving best outcomes in games when they are presented to us.

The set up , mindset and tactics for the West Ham , Spurs and Juventus games were poor.

I hope MP has learnt something from these games on where he needs to improve and how to go about it.

You cannot afford to blow leads and come away with nothing too often in a season or come out starting in a slumber as we have on three occasions already in just 9 games.

Do it a couple more times and the season could be gone because we will lose games of football to teams that are better than us on the say as well which Juventus and West Ham were not.
 
That's it. The OP has made up my mind......I've had enough of this place, for the while anyway. See you all soon....ish.

It's not a case of it just being worse, worse I would understand and expect.

IMO (it's just an opinion!), the drop of from 1st choices to 2nd/3rd choices is absolutely massive and not helped by the fact some of them don't look particularly arsed that they are 2nd and 3rd choices.
 
you would have though someone has died, we have injury's and lost 2 games, don't go saying there is myth u MELON.
 
Take Silva, Kompany, Aguero, Hart and Toure out of the team and Man City are ordinary.

Not my words, the sage that is Glenn Hoddle.

A fucking buffoon. Take Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Neymar and Pique out and Barcelona are ordinary.

See what I did there, Glenn?
 
Laughable when pundits say things like "Oh this team is weaker and playing poorly because they're missing x, y & z" It's a bit different if we were missing Nasri or Navas, even if we just missed 1 of Kompany/Silva/Hart but to miss all 3 at the same time will be a rarity this season anyway.

It was like Gullit on MOTD saying we have zero excuses because "The money they've spent" I would have loved to see his view on the matter if Chelsea lost in such a manner without Courtois, Fabregas and Hazard (Some would say Costa but he's fucking dreadful)
