It’s not exactly rocket science. We need more players who can score. We are completely reliant on 4 players for all our goals. We have scored 7 goals in the league and 1 in the champions league outside our four top scorers. We need more goals from our squad players, both when they start and from the bench. Right now we get nothing. That’s why it’s a problem when players is out of form, because we don’t have anyone to replace them with. We don’t have unlimited money and we don’t have unlimited room for players, so if we want new ones we have to sell someone. It’s one of the reasons why United is number 2, even though they don’t have a better starting 11 than us. But they have depth and players that can score from the bench.
Try and google and see how many goals we have scored from squad players and subs under Poch. It’s depressingly low.
Not really the point I was making. If we were so good when he was out for the best part of a season and wasn't missed, I fail to see why replacing him is our number one priority. He's a decent squad player, I don't mind at all if he's replaced but we have far more important concerns in the squad and upgrading a squad attacking midfielder is pretty low on the agenda imo and not the reason we'll be "left behind by our rivals again". Our central midfield and full backs are of much greater concern.
