I’d argue that if all our players were at their peak level we’d have the second most talented squad in the league after City. Arse have a bunch of players who everyone would’ve said are bang average prior to this season. Everyone was saying United’s team were all bang average as recently as a few months ago when they got off to that dreadful start. What these clubs have that we don’t right now is completely buy-in to the manager from their players. That's it..when Man U made their signings there was a lot of meh what a load of average people no one to fear etc etc. And how quickly it's all changed! He is getting a lot lot lot from them! Got rid of egos didn't convince Ronaldo to stay after that interview... Same like you say with Arteta. Jesus injury a lot of ooo they'll now suffer yet apart apart from Newcastle which wasn't a bad result they're doing find still!! Ours just don't know how to play together..or how to play. Or how to give a crap atm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It's not true that football has become more physical so players are injured. Players like Rattin do not exist any more. The truth is football has become over the years a lot faster - so things happen. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva has a sketchy reputation herself btw Yet, there are plenty of great physios and orthopedics out there. Boehly himself has employed some at the dodgers and lakers... why did we still hire those common cold quacks? I think its just not so easy to rebuild a medical departement so quickly. So these guys who are here atm are surely only placeholders, and a lot of sources told us that the hierarchy is already looking for a better solution. This transformation process is going to take a lot of time. U cant just force pep to work here, u have to find some, convince them and so on. Sometimes I feel like some people underestimate what actually happened with this club and how quickly it happened.

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We’ve been so monumentally shit that I haven’t even glanced at the table or watched a single minute of any football other than ours in months.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Liverpool going from 2nd in the table last year to a likely Europa League finish this year. That's why I find all this talk about us needing a massive rebuild for 2 years to become challengers again, pointless. We could just as easily return to top 3 next season (injuries notwithstanding) and still finish outside top 6 in the season after that. The league is just that much more competitive now, and you have at least 7 teams in contention. If you don't get it right with transfers or injuries, it will cost you, and that's just how it will be for seasons moving forward. Only the clubs with infinite resources could hold an iron grip on top 4. UEFA also realizes this., and it won't be to long before they expand the Champions league slots to at least 6 teams from each of the major leagues.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) On a positive note, looking at the highlights, Colwill seems to have had a great game against Liverpool. Good defending and great passing.(Especially that through ball at minute 28 of the game. Almost Terry-esque) Hope we integrate him in the next season. Fuck Gvardiol.

It's not about infinite resources, it's about having a quality core of first team players that you can build around. If you look at our teams under Mourinho, Conte, there was a quality core there, players that could be relied upon to put in a performance week in week out. As of right now, there are maybe 3-4 players in our squad who would be considered "core" - Reece, Thiago, Kante, Kovacic.....and two of them are out for who knows how long.

If you look at our teams under Mourinho, Conte, there was a quality core there, players that could be relied upon to put in a performance week in week out. That used to be the case up until about 5 or so seasons ago. Even with a solid core and a decent manager you could still have shitty season, if you don't replenish the squad with the right talent or succumb to injuries. 1 hour ago, Reddish-Blue said: As of right now, there are maybe 3-4 players in our squad who would be considered "core" - Reece, Thiago, Kante, Kovacic.....and two of them are out for who knows how long. And that's my point. We had a core which, when fully fit, could challenge for top 4. With the injuries we easily slide down the table. In the past decades, we could easily make up 15 point deficits to end up challenging for the title again. Nowadays only sides like City can afford to lose players like DeBruyne or Aguero for extended periods and not experience a hiccup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
