Snowball effect. Start doing that, and we're off that list sharpishRemarkable how we're the 10th richest club in the world and can't afford to pay Alderweireld what he wants.

Oh, bad luck mate. I was more fortunate and didn't have to sit through a second of the game. Great movie!Now that is quality. The best Star Wars film ever. Saw it today as well... then got back to watch the game.
I think the whole he’s only managed top aides excuse is a bit wrong. I think if he managed our team and we set up how his teams do in a 4-3-3 coached by him with a line up of the below + mabye strengthening in 2 positions, and you take this man.city team and say pep has never coached them and they have Mancini in charge let’s say, I think our team with 2 years of peps coaching would win. Yes he manages teams with top players but his teams don’t just win they absoloeuly suffocate and batter teams and you have to understand that is just as much down to the impecible and unique coaching ability for the team and players on and off the ball as it matters the actual quality of the players. Real Madrid once bought the galacticos but peps Barca team would tear that team apart. Trust me he’s an incredible manager and poch still has a long way to go hence his one away win vs top 6 in 18 away games.I truly don't agree about Guardiola. He has NEVER managed anything other than the creme de la creme. And his career at Bayern (the weakest of the three IMO) has to be seen as a flop considering he took them over after they'd won everything possible - something he couldn't repeat. Put him into a squad of lesser talent, who simply can't execute his philosophy and let's see how he does.
Not going to happen Rose is off in Jan to Utd, Dier will follow once the wolves start circling around Ali oops gone. Levy will not pay the wages for the players you mention. Mark my words if we get anyway in Jan it will be the likes of Sessengon from Fulham young talent which will be sold for a massive profit. The biggest worry for me is getting Toby sorted because if he doesn't extend that will fuck us right up. Just think Walker, Rose and Toby gone we had the best defence in the league. But we are not a selling club my fucking arse!!!Agreed.
Our flaws were exposed.
To compete we need and have needed some of the below for 2-3 seasons:
-A capeable back up to Kane who can compete with him and play alongside him when needed. Batsyuai would’ve been good enough but we got Jansen and Llorente instead.
-A class RB to replace walker, Aurier seems decent but why didn’t poch play him today, loyal to trippier or does he not trust him yet?
-A creative top class CM (the Gomez fella from Barca)
-2 extra attacking options, at least one with pace any of( marhez,Zaha,bale,Barkley)
Even if we got all of that we’d still have struggled today but if our line up was the below I think we’d have had more of a chance.
Lloris
Aurier
Toby
Sanchez
Jan
Rose
Gomez
Dier
Son
Eriksen
Marhez
Kane
With attacking options on the bench with quality :
Zaha,Alli,Batsuhai,Winks,Dembele,Barkley
we are a good 3-4 players away from where we need to be and we need to keep all our current lot.
You know what makes me laugh, years ago if a player was an ‘international’ we’d be ecstatic that he was in our team, let alone the subs bench, just shows how hard our league is with clubs who have a bottomless pit of cash to waste...They have won so much for us haven't they?
If you have a group of decent players you would expect to add to them like any top club does not Nkudo, Jensen, Lorente, Sissoko etc.
Anyway with another season without a trophy half of those you mentioned could be gone next season then who do we get. We can't keep relying on our academy it will dry up at sometime and you can only play so many young inexperienced players. As good as those players are we still can't beat the top sides.

I reckon we'll beat them. Might not be a classic but I'm confident (as well as optimistic so, yeah, bring on the inevitable optimistic ratings!!).

Manner of defeat mate.Almost 90 pages and most of it grown men menstruating over a loss to City and now the Spurs failing because of XYZ ...
The last two games I don't think have reached the same number of pages and we won those games.
You couldn't make it up.
At midnight?Manner of defeat mate.
+ 1 trophy in 16 years and 2 in 25, seeing just how far off the top we are and now with ???’s around a good 4-5 of our team is worrying and depressing, let us menstrate ok .
The curse that is the smartphone... It's never too late for one last post from under the covers.At midnight?
Go to bed mate.
Of all the things in the world to worry about at midnight in the middle of December, Tottenham Hotspur, transfers, Daniel Levy and Enic are pretty low on my list.The curse that is the smartphone... It's never too late for one last post from under the covers.
Indeed, I’m hoping to god my Amazon order comes in before the 24th otherwise I won’t be able to post again..Of all the things in the world to worry about at midnight in the middle of December, Tottenham Hotspur, transfers, Daniel Levy and Enic are pretty low on my list.
A one season wonder who's done it for multiple seasons.... interesting

Maybe but we’re in our least successful period in terms of trophies in 70 years.We have already gone quite far to where we where when they took over to be fair
Their average age is still low, but because it doesn't fit your hypothesis you choose to downplay it.I don't understand what you are trying to say. I think the age of the squad is not a specifically extreme stat any longer.
