Last night’s result hasn’t changed anything that we’d need to do anyway come the summer, we’re not out of the top four race yet although right now, the way we are playing it doesn’t bode well at all, however, the B’Mouth loss was if you want our game in hand so effectively it’s still the same sized battle we had prior to going to the Vitality,
We look a tired burned out ageing side that no longer has the legs, the quality, the stamina, the fluidity, the cohesion or the mental capability to return a style of football that would bring about a likely top four finish any other season,
A season that has seen the Arse become a serious challenger in the title race and Newcastle starting to throw their weight about too, we’ve seen the emergence of a Brighton side capable of taking on and beating those normally regarded as punching above their weight, their not, arguably they are better equipped than us right now, City are City as we all know and Chavs have emptied the bank rebuilding a side that will most likely be ahead of us recruitment wise come next season, and obviously have a settled side and will be a serious contender,
So what we looking at here is City, Arse, Chavs, MUtants, Newcastle, Brighton all ahead of us i for the top six next season, and we’re probably at least one season behind in terms of a transitional period, in short, our new side, won’t be ready next campaign either, look at the Arse model, look where they were two years ago, while we were ruling the roost Arsenal like us now were shambolic at best…..
…….So there is hope, there will be a plan of action, two years late in coming/ starting but the wheels are in motion…
It’s a massive summer for us, for Jürgen, for FSG, collectively we all know what is required, Jürgen has taken this particular squad to the brink of total exhaustion and nobody can ask of anymore than what they and he has given us the last 5 seasons, they, all of them have done their collective part, now it’s over to FSG now to provide the necessary finances to continue the ambitions of the club and Jürgen,
The goal or one of them at the start of this season, like any other is to finish within the CL spots, that hasn’t changed, it may well be the last remaining target but it was anyway, it’s all we have left so we may as well give it absolutely everything we have, it’s not going to be easy, or pretty or even entertaining, but it will be what it will be and there’s absolutely no point whingeing and f***in moaning cos that won’t make us any better,
We are clearly in transition, we clearly need a new style of play or system, current players will / may need to adapt and new ones will need to hit the ground running, that’s a tough ask for any side rebuilding and will take time, we all need to be patient with a capital f***in P !!
