You are in a really bad position going into next season. You need a whole new defence & midfield to mount any kind of challenge. Kompany is finished, Otamendi & Mangala are the most expensive yet least talented CB's in the league. Your full backs are also past there best. In midfield, Silva is done. Stirling looks over priced by about £48 Mill. You don't have a decent defensive unit even if the 2 Ferns were both allowed on the pitch at the same time but only counted as 1 player. It's a tall order to get in 5 quality players in the off season. If Pep was top manage this you are still then hugely reliant on Aguero staying fit for the whole season as you have no backups in attack. Bony is a mid table striker on a galactico pay packet. Nacho is a good squad player but he's in the Wellbeck bracket & won't get you 20 goals a season.
My word!
What a knowledgeable, bitter little man you are.
NOT.
Nic and Eli are nowhere near as bad as the rag-dipper-loving media would have all you sheep believe. In fact, we've only lost five - yes, FIVE - games that they've started together, and that includes the CL - remember that? - semifinal second leg away to Réal Madrid.
The two Ferns complement each other very well; we look much more solid when they're both on the pitch than when one is missing and are far better than your "dynamic duo" of the pig keeper and round the (Carrick) bend.
Sagna and Clichy are still better than anything you have at full-back and as for your laughable comment about Iheanacho not scoring 20 goals a season, that really proves you know nothing about football. He has scored 14 this season and only started a handful of games. He's a better prospect than Rashford and whatshisname.
