Its about time people looked at the bigger picture and realised to get into that top 4, you need world class players in one or two positions. We have sold the only ones we had and havent replaced them. We cant pay these players the wages to attract them to the club.
The only player in that team tonight that would get anywhere near any of the current top 4 would be Lloris, Walker at a push, the rest are average players, who potentially, one or two may come good.
Its really that simple for me. You sell the likes of Modric and Bale (becuase we had to) and rather than bring in the likes of Moutinho, Villa etc that the manager wanted (even if they were pipe dreams) we bring in the likes of Siggy, Chadli etc, then a few others with very bright futures and then sack the manager after 16 games or whatever it was.
So, take away our best players, replace with average and then sack the manager when we arent performing even better than we were when we had the better players.
What a mess.
Yet sadly, thats what we are faced with, and thats the way it will continue to be until we are able to pay the top wages for the top players - if we ever will.
