Let’s face it, we have a rotten squad. There’s a few bad eggs in our team that just aren’t giving it there all and that has permeated to the whole team. Jose’s comments are right, you can’t flick a switch and get them playing intense football when they haven’t played intense football for the better part of a year. Plus intensity or required from the whole team, not just a handful. Aurier is a lazy sod and Moura hasn’t exactly been doing a lot of running either. Winks, Sissoko and Delli are the only three players in that midfield/attack who seem to move off the ball. The rest are just reacting to the ball movement instead of anticipating it and Winks/Sissoko are not world class midfielders although I do personally like both of them.
Our back 4 needs to be reestablished next year and that means two new full backs. In modern football, most of the energy comes from those two positions. We also need a world class DM, Kante-esque. If we can only get three players this summer, it would be those three. Off-load Aurier, Rose, and Wanyama and just swap them out. Maybe get $50m for those three (maaaybe) and spend $150m on those three positions. I have a feeling we will keep Vert and Alderweireld but Eriksen is almost certainly out the door.
Overarching comment is just to get through this year. Just get top 4 so we have a platform for next year.
