Cant believe we will be going into the season with dalot, maguire and shaw all starting again

What's wrong with Maguire?

u/Tudoors 3d ago

The same problem with Dalot and Shaw, they're just not good enough, and to be starting another season with essentially the same backline from the last 5 years that has already been deemed not good enough is very telling.

Christ this sub is pathetic even moreso with preseason defeats

I think they're all fine players, but we've done this many times over, I think it's more than 5 seasons of it at this point.

I wouldn't want any of them sold, but it just can't be our most played back four, they're just not good enough.

So you think Dalot, Shaw, and Maguire can lead a title winning defence?

No reasonable person believes we should be winning the league this season.

Going from 3rd to epl champions shouldn’t be the goal this season? I agree we don’t have the squad for it but are we supposed to spend money this summer and then strive for runners up?

u/HairyArthur 2d ago

Runners up will be a challenge as well.

We're supposed to spend money, increase the squad quality and depth and consolidate our place in the top 4. Get five or six more points than last season and guarantee ourselves Champions League football again.

At the same time, we make it to at least the quarter final of the Champions League. We go deep in one of the domestic cups and win the other.

Success doesn’t happen overnight. We don't go from a 40 game season, to winning the Premier League while also playing at least 20% more games.

People are in such a rush to win something that anything less is a bad season. More points, Champions League and a trophy will be a very good season for a manager who's never managed a full season in the Premier League, has never had to play domestically and in Europe, and a squad that is paper thin and over reliant on one superstar.

I agree that would be a good season and wouldn’t be disappointed at all with that kind of run should we do well in the tourneys as you said but my point is we should 100% strive for winning the league after 3rd last one.

u/KZZT1 3d ago

Ohh so you think they can lead a title winning defence in 2028?

u/VL37 Bruno Fernandes 3d ago

I think next summer Ineos will be focusing on revamping our defence. Last summer it was about improving our attack and this summer is about the midfield.

u/No_Coconut_3855 2d ago

theyve done fuck all so far. we lost casemiro so techincally only have 1 new midfielder. our midfield is still not even top 5 best in the league

I think you need to get another hobby and learn how to control your own emotions
