I think it would be unrealistic and also naive to be aiming for that kind of football at the moment.Fuck. We need to really go back to basics in terms of Pochs style.
Where's that high intensity pressing game gone?
If we could get our act together after the International break we'd be in business because we're in a good position despite some abject performances.
Players back and back to basics and we could go far this season. But performances of late have to be improved upon.
We've unfortunately had a number of players enter the latter stages of the World Cup and they need to be managed. In addition to that we've got players susceptible to injury like Dembele, Wanyama, Rose etc.
Beyond those players we've got deadwood and players simply not good enough. Llorente, Sissoko, Nkoudou etc.
A midfielder or two was obviously needed but I can even see why Poch wanted another forward now. It gives us more room to breathe with regards to intensity. Just allows that extra bit of rotation to keep players fresh and on their toes.
He's been severely restricted in what he can do.
