Well said! Such a lot of money wasted on average players. Mangala not good enough for even Championship football. Barry let go by Pelli after a week and replaced with the useless Garcia! That made me mad!! A disgraceful decision! What a performance Barry gave in the C1C - he was superb. Were you watching that Pelli? I agree Bony is not as good as Dzeko and Navas just runs and gets nowhere. Team has not progressed in last two years. Only KdB and Sagna have been worth the money (and Sagna was free). Whoever signed these players should go, along with the manager, at the end of the season!! Totally agree with you DDBlue. Well said! Such a lot of money wasted on average players.

I have come to believe he lacks defensive strategy for the team and that has exposed the defense more than any other areas. All these near-death wins are totally unacceptable ... he has spent over 130+ mil till last January and the team performance has not made any improvement compared to second half of last season. I am counting the minutes for the time when I can see him let go ... Pellers is the big part of the problem.

One fundamental change that I did noticed in the last 10 minutes was that we got the ball in the box. I counted 4 excellent crosses 2 from Navas, 1 from Kolarov and 1 from Sagna (for the goal). Maybe this is something we should do from the start of the game. I also would love to see us try something different. Maybe try Yaya at centre back with Fernandhino and Delph in midfield. I wouldn't have Mangala on the pitch. Excellent review of the game. One fundamental change that I did noticed in the last 10 minutes was that we got the ball in the box.

Agree Sterling and KDB not played well away but Silva the key, he has made us tick away for years now.

MD won't be there either and is a worrying back up for rest of season. What is your view on Txiki B and his signings? He tried to loan Mangala after one season so clearly recognised he had made a mistake. Garcia & Fernando not as good as Barry or De Jong. Bony not as good as Dzeko. Jovetic & Negrado soon sent packing. Navas not good enough. Hasn't bought a left back. He has lot to answer for I think, wasted a lot of money and we still relying on same players who have been there and done it. Agree re Mangala.
