If we think FSG are going to splash more cash in January, and add more to the wage bill above and beyond Markovic, Lallana, Lambert, Balotelli, Can, Lovren, Moreno, Manquillo, then we are wrong. I can see us having to spend before buying because FSG are all about keeping that wage bill manageable.
Actually thought we looked worse without Balotelli today, and we all know how crap we are with him in the team.
Face it, we're expecting these current players to start turning things around, but why, why should we expect this? What glimmer of hope can we look to, who can we turn to for help on that pitch? It'll be the same guys turning out against Ludogorets and then whoever next weekend.
For the first time in decades I see no hope. Literally. Where's it coming from? Sunderland bound Borini? 31 year old worst right back ever Johnson (who was moved to left back because the Gaffer knew Bolaise would tear him a new arsehole and preferred a 19 year old kid at right back instead)? Position-less, cowardly Lovren? Aging 34 year old Gerrard? A confidence shattered Sterling? A keeper who can't kick the F***ing ball straight? How about a 32 year old no paced Lambert, or a half fit Can? Or a Coutinho who blows hot and cold or a Joe Allen? Joe Allen!? Only last week we were ready to throw him to the dogs. What about a 19 year old Manquillo whose head must be spinning right now?
I'm not knee jerking; it's five and a half hours after the final whistle and I am genuinely worried for our Premier league status. Things are that bad and we are starting to look like a well beaten outfit. This is not a one off, this is an ingrained mentality that's bereft of the courage and will to F***ing grind out results in a rain soaked Crystal Palace; who were second from bottom. Teams can smell our fear and that's why they all think they can beat us. We are prey right now
I have never, ever, in all my life seen a team so low on confidence.
I think we are fu**ed unless we start taking a long hard look at ourselves and start being sincere with one another. A few home truths need to be aired and every single one of our players need to start getting nasty, or we'll be playing Championship football next season. And not the European type.
Sort it out Gaffer because the clock is ticking.
