Down to the players, we've got too many who just aren't good enough, or consistent enough.
We need a fully fit Kompany, or a defender as good as him who's not always injured, a monster in midfield and a clinical, greedy goal poacher.
For what we've spent we should be unstoppable but we continue, bar two or three examples, to select players a level or two below the best in their position. In my opinion although we have 3 or 4 better players than we had in 2012, our strongest XI is still weaker than that title winning side. We (I?) still miss Tevez, as a player, and Barry and Bellamy. The last two not good enough now, but we haven't replaced them adequately.
We talk a good game, at high level, as a club, about ambition, but to match that, and the targets set as a club by bringing in Pep, is signings of the quality to win more games, more easily. I'm talking about signing players like Bale, Dele Alli, Busquets, Alaba. Until we sign players that good, we'll struggle.
