Agreed we need a big squad overhaul in the Summer.
VVD and Joe back will be huge for us next season but we're still carrying too many passengers.
Ox, Keita, Origi, Shaqiri need to be sold. Gini, Milly, and Adrian will likely be leaving. I'd say Tsimikas and possible Matip will leave too.
I would also consider selling one of Mane or Bobby if we replace with a top class attacking player.
So that's 9 or 10 players potentially departing.
I said a few years ago, that we needed 10 new signings for the following season. We signed 4, which is the usual number we sign these days. 4 new signings in one window is not a big squad overhaul.
Fair enough, VVD and his centre back pals will be back next season. At least we hope they are anyway. But that doesn't mean the forwards won't be injured instead. There's certainly no guarantee that the injury list next year will be lower. All our main players atm will not have a summer break again, with the Euros/Copa America/Olympics around. Yes Hendo will be back, for at least a month or so before he gets injured again. You can't rely on him as he's very injury prone. And if results are affected as this season, we know who will be held responsible. He's on the sideline with a beard.
Thatâs a horrendous VAR call
It's a correct call. If you handle the ball in this league before scoring, you will be caught red handed. It's a clear handball and he was. No point in complaining about it, that's the law, and it will be enforced.
1 home win in 10 league games. 6 points from the last 30 available. A disgrace at any level of the game, let alone this one. I think of all the biggest clubs, it's just us and Juventus, possibly Dortmund, that have underperformed this season across the main European leagues. Everyone else has somehow found a way to deal with the unique circumstances they have been confronted with this season.
