Nothing I’ve said is defending Levy. This is all his fault. And imo, panic buying a mug player for £50-60m on deadline day would be stupid as fuck. But sadly that seems to be the only option. That or we buy Orban the kid, who is barely tall enough to ride roller coasters and will never be able to win a single aerial ball or hold up play on the counter.

It’s a shite state of affairs.

Long term, we either invest like our competition or the club is going absolutely nowhere, including in revenue growth terms for ENIC.

But in the immediate term, where we're at in the cycle of building a squad, there aren't deals that can be had in the next week that magically make Angeball the finished product, or a sure thing. We're miles off competing with the sharp end of the table, as much as we'll want to pretend otherwise in the afterglow of a nice victory.

We should expect better. But time and patience are going to be key ingredients of getting there, the major investment moment of this cycle hasn't really arrived yet.

Which is not to say we're not a player or two short.

Great, maybe we'll get a trophy for that instead of a real one.

Am I alone here? The rest of the league has been sorely overrated, we have a real chance to do something really great this year but as per fucking usual no chance of that as it's too expensive.

With our current squad we might scrape into 6th place, with the cups it al depends on the draw and Fulham away next week will be tough.

If you think we might scrape 6th with the current squad, there’s no way one or two players is making us contend for the league unless it’s mbappe and Haaland.

Come on mate, it was a joke.

We will get better going forward as the season progresses.

Did you take any positives form the game on Saturday?

Our front 3 has not been impressive at all. No point trying to pretend otherwise.

Doesn’t mean they are all hopeless. Just that this performance throughout the entire season won’t be good enough.

Also, neither of the 2 “assists” last weekend actually counted as assists. Kulu because of the large deflection and perisic/Davies because of the OG, though perisic probably deserved an assist from that.

Yeah, feels like we went from son and Kane making up for a nonexistent midfield to having one of the best midfields in the league with no one to actually score the goals.
