He's bang onIt was more his body language but basically said we cant keep talking about winning stuff and keep throwing it away, we are not learning and we keep throwing things away and we need to stop
I’m torn between is it the manager or the quality of players or a bit of both. I just don’t know who else could’ve got much more out of these players... but then I do think if we’d has Mouriniho for the last 4 years would we have won something?Agree that we need to upgrade both fullbacks playing today.
Very good point re Dembele, great in possession but i can't remember the last assist or goal he was involved in so i think CM needs looking at. Kane backup also needed to state the obvious.
I think thats a lot to work on in one window but at the top level we keep getting found out so lets hope we back the manager.
I wouldn't read too much in to that. He's 100% right.It was more his body language but basically said we cant keep talking about winning stuff and keep throwing it away, we are not learning and we keep throwing things away and we need to stop

Who the fuck would be stupid enough to buy Rose?! He's not been fit for the past 15 months, has looked terrible when he's got on the pitch this season, and is arrogant enough to think despite that he deserves a pay rise and a bigger club. Absolute liability.Been saying all season our full back are not good enough (Davies and trips).
Rose and aurier were meant to be first choice but have been disappointing. I'd sell both and bring in 2 more. Only need to look at City to see how important good fbs are
From memory in recent times when Wigan can win a cup I can see no argument as to why we can't except only for predictable tactics and poor see belief.So that was gutting yet again, 8th semi final FA Cup loss in a row is not good enough.
On one hand there is the arguement that we’re punching hugely above our weight with the resources we have and clearly Poch has done an incredible job but there are a few things we can improve on:
-Set pieces! Man.U looked dangerous from all of theirs but we never ever threaten from a corner and rarely from free kicks. We win so many corners we need to use them better
-Style of play: we are quite predictable and man.u set up perfectly to stop us playing in between the lines. We throught Moura would help with this with his pace and directness but he’s not quite up to speed yet. But we need to mix our play up a bit which leads me into the next point...
-We NEED at least one more back-up striker of real quality. Llorente doesn’t fit our style and is past it. Instead of just always sending on different or more creative n.o 10 types how about putting on another striker for their defence to worry about?
-players who can score goals and change games. This isn’t knee jerk but I really just don’t think the following players quite do enough consistently:
Son (has been much better this season but still lacks a little consistency)
Alli (Yes he scored and tends to do so in big games but does he threaten teams enough during the games, so often he is just passing sideways or falling over, if I was a defender playing against Alli I’d be thinking just face him up and watch his runs behind, as opposed to a Sane, Sterling, Sanchez type with their pace and trickery it’s much harder to defend against)
Lamela (Tries really hard and has fairly good creativity but he barely scores any goals, is a poor finisher and often flatters to deceive)
Don’t get me wrong they’re decent players and Alli and Son starting is generally fine but if we want to be super critical and get to the next level then we need another top top level AM player like when we had Bale or someone like Pulisic and we also need a bloody decent back up striker option to Kane
-CM (Dembele and Dier as a 2 is too defensive!) for all his great work, when did Dembele last score or set up a goal? I know that’s not generally his role but usually one of the 2CM’s in a 4-2-3–1 can offer a bit going forward.
-Full backs aren’t good enough and don’t have enough pace for the way we play. Trippier has improved this year but he’s no Walker and Aurier is more what we need but has been a little disappointing, Davies is ok, solid defensively but not quite enough going forwards.
We’ve come on leaps and bounds and playing in our normal home stadium next year should hopefully give the players and club a lift but we have some work to do in the transfer market in the summer if we want to keep competing and to go closer to winning things, Man.U are 2nd this year and we are 4th and today that showed, we weren’t quite good enough + Jose teams manage big games so well, they just killed the game at 2-1.
Chin up and onwards and upwards but that was another tough one.
Thoughts on these improvements or were we just ‘unlucky’, I don’t think so, that’s 3 big games now vs Juve, Man.C and Man.U which we’ve lost and I don’t think it’s luck I think we have another level or 2 we need to go up.
Next year we might be on a part with them financially. But that doesn't improve the team we have on the pitch now. Right now we have far less money to spend than either of those sides. If we could've just offered Walker £350k a week when he wanted out like Woolwich did with Ozil, he would've stayed. If we could've just bought Salah rather than Llorente, we'd probably have won the league. But right now we don't have those resources, simple as that, and it means we have to try and punch above our weight to compete with these sides.Stop going on about resources.
We will be on a par with Liverpool and Arsenal this year.
We have the most expensive STs in football..
We can Stop with that excuse now.
What we need more than anything else is someone with experience of winning the big trophies, someone who's a natural leader. We need someone who will, when we're losing, take charge and rally the team. No one in this team can do that.
