PED use is so obviously
their players magically improved their physical performance by 35% in one off season
Their average shit players suddenly press non stop every game 90 minutes without subs
They look identical to Barca/Real/Atletico a few years ago when they were given PEDs by that notorious doctor
At least they are winning on the night though 
How fcuking long to go FFS?
Where as we have the complete opposite and our players are just all injured :mourfacepalm:
20+ minutes
Notice who ATM had to take out in order to get upfield and score? At the critical juncture they couldn't rely on him Sammy.
Won the CL, gonna win the PL. They know what they are doing
I also said it in the summer, that they'd get burned out
but iirc they had to pay out like 100m in bonuses after the CL so they had no money to spend lmao
Guess
Same way their players magically improved 35 % physically over a single summer
Stop tagging me on this shit BC. I'm out.I think as you (ortodd1882 ) said above, an important factor was to keep looking for coaches that fit the general ethos, in the same way Poch was an evolution AVB - High line, possession, pressing - problem was we (the committee inc Poch) had failed to identify the areas that most needed surgery - midfield - and added pretty mediocre players everywhere else. You look through the whole of the signings made during Poch's tenure and only Alli and Alderwiereld have been a first team players from start to finish of Poch's time. And I'm not sure Alli should have been. Son took about 3 years to get that trust, and again, he's fucking unreliable in terms of performance.
And we only lost Walker as a first team regular in all that time.
In what 8 windows, that's a pretty meagre return. And I don't believe that was all about budget, just look at the recruitment of Dortmund during Klopp and since. They don't have our budget or resources.
The committee as a whole have to share the blame, but Poch was "manager" by year 3 and he has to take a big chunk of responsibility for the recruitment - in and out.
And he also could have made much better use of the academy, not because there was a conveyor belt of world class kids coming through, because there were fresh minds, hearts and legs there that he could have used to keep some energy and aggression in his team, even if just to get rest into the senior legs.
Don't know why some are laughing, despise Juve, but hope Rugani gets well soon.
