Agreed.

We’re crying out for a Wharton/Neves quality DM… a Palmer esque attacker and a dynamic LW & RW (Kudus is burnt out).

But those 4 players above are a reflection of years of diabolical recruitment and panic buying.

There’s lots of moulding to be done, especially with the younger lot.

But there’s not enough technical quality.

Bentancur, Palhinha, Porro, Richarlison… I’m inclined to leave Gray, Bergvall, Xavi, Tel & Odobert out until they get a couple of seasons to prove themselves.

This is years of poor recruitment finally being exposed.

This problem was here even with Ange.

There has been a lack of technical ability in our midfield and attack for years… Poch, Conte, Ange and Frank.

We’ve relied on a few to get us out trouble, and now we only have two left who happen to both be injured… it shows more.

Lad clearly has something, but had no desire to try and win that

Sums up that whole game… gutless
