No I disagree, the team hasn't changed much in the last three years and we have challenged but, as far as trophies go, we haven't succeeded.Not to be a debbie downer but haven't we already been rebuilding for 6 years now? When are we going to challenge?
It is clear we approached the summer window differently and brought in three players even if they haven't been available and we have to move on some of our players all of which has an effect, I am hoping we get our new players playing soon and make a few more changes in January too.
An example is Davidson Sanchez is the future of our defence so maybe we should make him the first name on the defender team sheet and build round that rather than skirting around it and falling back on the old guard who are coming to the end, it has to be managed.
That said we lost so badly last night because at 4-2 we didn't try to hold that and at least stop them scoring more we took off Winks and Ndombele and brought on Eriksen, Lamela and Moura to chase the game as we had nothing to lose but unfortunately it didn't work and we collapsed in the last five minutes. That and the fact that they are clearly better than us.
