Of course our defence will be better, but it's not going to solve the problems we have up front, its not going to solve our lack of goals from midfield, it's not going to stop our sterile posession against a low block. I think this team has peaked and without serious changes we are not doing anything of note next year.
We do need additions and changes. What I take issue with is the "serious changes" bit. The defence being back in one piece, and Fabs' consequent return to where he really belongs, will allow the midfield to play on the front foot again. Sterility against the low block was a problem even last season at times, but I think the signing of Thiago was primarily intended to address it and we'll be in a far better position to do so with the rest of the line-up slotting into place as originally envisaged.
My fear is the spine of the team is now 29/30 and some of our key players either look shattered or have serious question marks over their ongoing fitness.
I don't think they have another 90+ point season in the.
They're in their peak if you listen to the gobshites on here.
Its knee jerk because the difference between Champions League and Europa is huge in money terms.
This team needs an overhaul.
Other than playing in a completely different position, you fucking mongIf we are to lose Gini and sell Keita then he would be a great replacemnet
Who said we're qualifying for it.Mbappe won’t like playing EL for 12 months 😀

Is it any coincidence that Minamino was in DONAVANs (sic) profile pic and got sacked off, and now Mane is.... and it’s clear to everyone how that is going?
Shitty winning the champions league and the scum europa.
Considering I work in R&D, I think I’m good to meddle. I understand the risks.
The failed attempts of other pre-match thread starters means we need a change. Jota’s wife and kids must be sacrificed.
Calmed down a bit now. It still grates more than most matches this season because we were so dominant. That said we were doubly unlucky to lose Phillips for these two games, no way he wouldn't have won the header vs Leeds and in this game it forced Fabinho back into the back four. Then I'm pretty sure the Willock 'goal' was going wide but took a wicked deflection off a great Fabinho block.
The Lady (Luck) is not for turning, she's fucking us every which way this season.
