I have been trying to tell anyone who will listen,for 18 months,, we will do nothing in Europe with this guy in midfield.
No effort , will not tackle, will not challenge in the air. legs have gone. Wallet fatigue.
Will be interesting to see if the new manager can see what Mancini, his 2 pals and 40,000 fans cannot see. I have been ridiculed on Bluemoon for stating this many times. This guy is no longer good enough. You need a strong, vibrant, fast midfield to challenge in Europe. Slowly the trickle is turning into a stream as people begin to see what has been obvious for 18 months.
