Dismembered
seems a bit silly to me to throw away what was clearly a great project last season just because we’ve looked very low on confidence this season.
some won’t like to hear this but, and RDZ holds as much blame as anyone else, this all comes down to the recruitment last summer being poor. everyone knew we needed a right back, many suspected we needed another midfielder. and then january was too difficult of a market to operate in.
it’s irritating that there’s been all this negativity in a season full of club firsts, and the manager has contributed to that, but ultimately the ‘balls’ he spoke about last season is confidence, and that’s very easy to come by when you beat liverpool and chealsea twice and win 3-0 away at arsenal. so it’s no wonder that hasn’t been the same this season. the issue, as ever, has been too many points dropped against teams who just sit back and look to counter. i don’t know what people are expecting RDZ to do about that when he has no mitoma, no march, a weak midfield and a poor defence.
so, as i said, it seems silly to say that we need to throw away what looked like a very good project last season just because it hasn’t been all roses this season. he’s still a young manager, he’s still learning, give him better players in the summer and remove the passengers like fati and milner, improve on players like lamptey and lallana, and if we’re still in the same situation this time next year then fair enough, sack him
