Impact at a slightly different angle and laporte stays fit and the season takes a completely different course. Of course it's luck.Nothing whatsoever to do with luck.
Tikxi and Co have made some great buys and decisions BUT they have made terrible errors of judgement at times, especially this last summer window.
The defensive lack of recruitment was pathetic, naive and arrogant.
JFS is simply not good enough and prone to going missing in action, Otermandi is way past what was always an erratic player. Mendy is Mendy, mostly hobbling with one knee, and has done since he arrived 2 1/2 seasons ago. Zinch is a stop gap/ fill in nothing more.
Tixki , Pep and Sorrano have a lot to answer for in the last summer window, and it must never be allowed to happen again.
Getting back to the scousers level is going to take a hell of a big transfer budget and an enormous amount of work on the training ground.
He has played there for us.He's nowhere near the level of our midfield options, hence why he never plays there.

JFS? Quit wumming.
We're one player short. Having a weak central defence has cost us in so many games but the defending is all that's declined.
You are the one who is naive and arrogant if you think that City can at the drop of a hat just find and bring in a world-class defender.
Seemed like a good atmosphere on t tellyGreat game of football to be at, VAR notwithstanding.
It was decent and in pretty good spirit among the fans - apart from a City fan after the game taking the piss out of a Wolves fan’s Wolverhampton accent; which is fair comment imo*Seemed like a good atmosphere on t telly
I'm not sure about Rodri. His speed is an issue in the Premier League.We need a revamp in defence and look to replace Kun and another DM if you don't mix things up especially in the areas you need to you go backwards especially as we lose players for long periods of time on a regular basis.
Good for moral as well and keeps players on their toes.
This season is just a stutter to get ourselves automatic qualification to Chumps next year.
Fortunately at least in the first half of the season Manure , Chelsea , Spurs and Arsenal have all regressed.
"rarely if ever makes a decent save" Did you stop watching City in August. How you rate him is expressing your opinion. Look at every game he's played this season and form an opinion based on fact.Has anyone on Twitter asked him why he was Shepherding the Ball out of play to secure a Wolves corner ?
I dont actually rate Ederson as a Keeper.I think he is great with his feet, also his Eye for the occasional killer Pass is exceptional.His general Goal keeping is not very good,he rarely if ever makes a decent save,his positional awareness is not that good either.
we concede way too many goals from few chances.The defenders mostly get the blame because they are the last line of defense. People forget we also have a keeper that rarely saves fuck all unless it is directly aimed at him.
Tonight was School Boy stuff from him.It dont matter if there was contact or not.The attacker will always milk that kind of situation for all its worth.You come racing out of your area like that you are giving the Attacker the chance to simulate contact even if there is none,and giving the referee the opportunity to give you a straight Red.
Who has said world class, we just need a defensive CB who is reliable and not a mess like JFS.Impact at a slightly different angle and laporte stays fit and the season takes a completely different course. Of course it's luck.
