Therefore he needs to be given at least 2 seasons to bring in his players, just like Pep and Klopp were.

But he won't be given time and not money really... We all know that

He's not going to get a chance to create his own team. You can't play like Sarri's Naples team with Alonso, Luiz, Cesc, Drinkwater or Morata...

Most of Napoli players were terribly average before sarri...though I agree with you on Alonso Drinkwater Fabregas and co

The difference between aguero and Morata  

Fact: With that fraud Morata as our striker, we will struggle for top four

Fact: You're making assertions based upon a game where we've made no presence in midfield or any support whatever.

Actually we wont be fine until we sign a great striker to replace Morata. And if the answer is Martial who hasnt even played there in years and who has been a flop at United, then what is the question? With Morata up front we won't be finishing in the top 4 again 

One player does not fix a broken club, team or philosophy- it's this mindset that has put us in this position.

We need to back the manager with a 3 year plan and overhaul the squad and youth teams to align with our footballing philosophy.

Simply signing a striker will ultimately change nothing and is painting over the abyss.

Thing is what nobody seems to mention is that it's clearly not working this game but we did not really change anything. That is not a good sign from the manager in my opinion.

Cant believe how horrible Alonso is.While getting 90 minutes.

The downside is that we have no time. You think our star players will stay here after 2 consecutive seasons without CL football?

If they dont want to be here then let them go. Liverpool sold Coutinho and became stronger. We eother buy into Sarri 100% or whats the point of bringing him in. We cannot be expected to match City this season, but given time we may. And stars come and go at clubs all the time, it's never the end of the world

This is a comedy now, Alonso and Drinkwater trying to combine... Like an elephant.

We need to sign a striker as we currently dont have one. How can you talk about multi-year plans when your squad lacks in one of the most important positions on the pitch? This is 2013/14 all over again and it could even be worse because the level of our rivals is far higher in 2018/19 than 2013/14

It's not... I promise you. Look at Loserpool had the best strikeforce in the league and won fuck all.

City keeps buying best players. They spend every year 2 or 3 times as much as we do on net transfers. It is translated on the pitch.

Wrong, I'm making assertions based on a full season and preseason of watching a weak "fall on the floor" striker that  cant score with his feet, even if its a penalty.

Can't believe Sarri of all coaches that prioritise Quick High intensity pressing game will just look Alonso for that huge amount of time on the pitch..

[dreamcfc 182]

Not even interested in trying to win this one are we lol.

With a new manager and a new approach.

Hell, Bats could become number one striker for what we know!
