I'd probably add Davies to that list but otherwise this post is spot on. It's more than just the quality of the players (although clearly we need more quality), our whole style of play and identity seems to have disappeared over the last year or so.
Stand corrected apologies to everyone should have known he would be the one to score after I dissed him.I read this earlier today and wanted to tell you to watch tonight.. There is a player there. He was lively against Juventus too.
Contract situation this has levy with his pyjamas on written all over it if he can get something for almost nothing he will , nothing makes him happier I would think.
I think we've become too rigid in our style personally. Too regimented in you pass here, he passed there then you get it out to the wing and pass it to him etc.
We seem to have lost a really expressive and expansive way of football. Personally I think it's been hindered since we lost true width in the fullback departments and whilst I don't have anything against Davies, he really isn't good enough for elite football. Consistent and reliable yes, but a killer he is far from being.
Their movement and passing into moving players to open up space using triangles was wonderful. It had tempo and verve in its short spells before they retreated. We've fallen back on a philosophy of get it to Sissoko and see if anything opens up. Big steps back that we'll be lucky to get away with should we secure 2 more points in the league. Tonight was an eye opener, even if we go onto beat them over two legs.
No conviction in our passing, too slow building attacks that allowed their back line to settle and our crossing was cowardly. No awareness of how to develop danger, just kicking it up in the air towards a big man. It really was lame stuff
I think it will be very hard to deal with Leicester as they’ll demand top dollar...
Probably bs but I would bite their hands off for that sort of money. Crazy!AS saying Eriksen has a contract agreement with Real and the fee’s 130m euros. Seems bizarre as Zidane’s pushing for Pogba.

It's useful having the press being able to place pressure when negotiating deals for top tier talent. Imagine if we were able to stack players like this.AS saying Eriksen has a contract agreement with Real and the fee’s 130m euros. Seems bizarre as Zidane’s pushing for Pogba.

Dier has to learn he is not good enough holding. Alli needs to not be an automatic starter. I don’t think we need a new forward as a priority. I think two new CMs and a RB are a far bigger priority. For one summer that is enough change.
2020 we should invest in a new versatile forward and LB.
Step by step and investing in quality.
