4 mil a year lol. Rather pay 10 mil for klopp. Atleast he will ensure we play an attractive brand of football and get us results.
We can pay 10 mill for Klopp ......but we can't then pay 80 mill for a striker and another 60 mill for a winger and also give him a few 50 mill mids in a window.

If Gerry would stop pumping money into F1 and movies we probably could

What this has to do with Giroud. Grow up
Yes let's stick with the tree up top.
A striker is not something we need urgently.

Gerry is one of the first few heads that needs to be chopped off the block. Anaconda and cocklani next. We can start there.
Pioli and then so forth. Need a complete overhaul.

Feels like the banter era when I dont even feel too dissapointed after a shit result, its just something I expect.

But I am fucking angry because this team is much better than those sorry excuses of a squad were.
The quality is there. It comes down to the coach that prepares and motivates them. Management haven’t yet realized where the change needs to be made. Hopefully they figure it out in the next few days.

100%. Team is still good. Missing some other element. Coach being one and just ideas really. Too much reliance on individual brilliance.

100 Million spent, same coach and same place as last season after the same week. Gerry better make some changes or this season will look like a joke for all the money he spent and convincing almost everybody that he and his team knows best.

End of the day, it’s clear to see we are still a work in progress. We could do with a better coach (idk who right now), but the team is young and largely new. We’re dependent still on a few key players.

- The whole “Musah is good, but raw” is true.
- Chuk is flashy but ineffective.
- Jovic is useless
- Romero is primavera level

We’ve made good signings, but not all signings are ready, and with the small squad we have + reoccurring injury issues there’s little chance of us absolutely dominating the league. At least in this season. We’ll have great games but also poor ones. But we won’t be that consistent machine churning out results. We’re too naive.

As much as we wanted us to be scudetto ready, we’re still in the rebuilding phase. Pioli will most likely be sacked by next season, and we’ll clean up by plugging the necessary holes in the squad.

Top 4 is the realistic target, and just hope we make a good run in the CL. Time to lower your expectations and enjoy the ride.

Well yea. And rlc. But precaution reasons we can't play rlc. Not sure what the excuse is for not playing adli. Krubitch of all people starts.
The problem is Pioli doesn't seem to understand the value of keeping the ball through passing. He really fucking doesn't.

Good (not even great, but good) managers will drill their teams into just keeping the ball, cruise their 2-0 lead, and sit back, relax, and hit their opponents on the break when needed.

Pioli starts to free-style at 2-0, like... playing Romero at RW against Napoli after Pulisic gets injured and neutering the team. Or putting Musah as a RB at 2-0, again at the half, again because of another injury.

All he makes our players do is to dribble, dribble, dribble. That's fucking it. Dribble and cross. Hope.

Everyone is getting injuries. Sportiello is getting the same injury as Maignan, same calf injury. Fucking how?

Pioli stretches out the field, so we aren't compact, it's insane.

Calabria and Pulisic were very important players for us in these few weeks, especially for Pioli. I understand them getting injured at half-time must suck.

But Pioli handled both injuries in the worst possible manner.

Musah at RB and Romero as the RW. Shocking decisions.

Aside from Pioli and his complete mismanagement, one of our biggest errors was not signing a substitute for Bennacer. You can not replace such a quality player with players like Pobega and Krunic. That's just asking for trouble. Our midfield is fragile and lacks an anchor.
