His problem is not refreshing the squad in the last year or so. Then again, I suppose not everyone is Fergie.

Indeed, and that has been our problem too, in the few seasons we won the title.

I have no idea why we didn't bother to strengthen significantly in Mourinho's 3rd season following the title win. Same happened with Ancelloti's second season. No signings of note. Just an ageing Benayoun of all players. (I'm not mentioning Conte's title win here, because his second season transfers were mucked up by him).

It's as if management thinks that the same group of players are a bunch of machines that can reproduce the exact same results year after year. Just illogical.

Liverpool are suffering from the fact that there is no challenge or respite being offered to either of Salah/Firminho/Mane from their bench, besides Jota. Minamino and Origi are below par.

This is exactly why Ancelotti has won only 4 league titles in 20+ years as a manager. Can galvanize his teams for one off games or big games but can't do the same against smaller teams. Everton have beaten Spurs (twice), Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea this season but contrived to lose to Newcastle (twice!), Fulham, Burnley etc.
