Sorry JE your facts are wrong, prior to those games we had more than one win out of 12 and also draws against Arsenal and Man City. 1 Watford (D), 2 Brighton (D), 3 Newcastle (L), 4 West Ham (W), 5 Southampton (D), 6 Norwich (D), 7 Derby (L), 8 Arsenal (D), 9 Man City (D), 10 Southampton (L), 11 Sheffield United (L), 12 Everton (L). You're right, one win in 12 not 13, still extremely poor. But it still makes abysmal reading, especially when you look at who we played. Not sure any other manager would have survived that run of form.

Not sure any other manager would have survived that run of form. Have a look at our starting 11 during most of that run of games and have a look at our bench. Is it any wonder we picked up little to no points? Il keep saying it, we may look like we have a decent squad but we don’t. A lot of you constantly crying about subs but who in the name of Christ can we bring on? We have no options

Can anyone tell me that that is a first 11 and bench fit for the best league in the world?

Starting 11 and bench against Norwich. Great isn’t it folks. Such a strong squad we have. Have a good strong look at that bench and ask yourself why we struggle to change games.

Yesterday’s bench is a little stronger but who would you bring on to change that game?? 6Dann It is not as easy as it looks is it ? Meyer and Townsend are our strongest attacking players and they are well off the boil. The rest are defensive players or unproven young lads and what Iv seen of Pierrick he won’t be getting a start anytime soon. Roy can’t wave a magic wand and make Ronaldo appear on his bench. We have a piss poor squad and that is a fact. Edited by EddieMac (05 Jul 2020 2.18pm)

We will go down next year unless some serious signings are made AND we have more than a Plan A option. We can only have a Plan B and C etc. if we have the right resources to allow that to happen. The best we can do with our current squad is to let Wilf and Jordan have free roles and let Meyer, MacArthur or even Riederwald play as attacking midfielders.

Let's remind ourselves of how much Premier league clubs spent last summer (according to Sky): Man U 148 mio Apart from Chelsea who sold Hazard and Morata for loadsamoney and had a transfer ban (bar the £40 mio deal previously agreed) we had the biggest surplus which, of course, was not reinvested in the squad. How can we continue to compete?
