It's incredibly frustrating.
But that's not aimed at Ange or the players.
The football authorities and our owners have put us in this situation.
You can't have a serious lack of depth in key areas, play intensely, play twice a week and have players jetting off for internationals every month and expect consistent performances.
We had a huge win against City but even that would have taken something out of the players, we've followed that up with a very difficult tie against a decent Roma side and 2 and half days later play a very resolute and hard working Fulham team.
You can't expect us to be beating teams well and playing well game after game, it's just not realistic
The football authorities didn’t stop us not filling squad positions that everyone else on here could see needed filling, to provide some backup and mean we can more confidently rest people or overcome injuries.
We could easily afford a deeper squad, that’s on the club. That said it’s unfortunate how many injuries we’re having, compared to teams that play at least as many games as we do, and hopefully that’s also something the club are looking carefully at.
