What games have we played like champions?
It’s not a throw away statement at all. Had we done real analytics looking at profiles we wouldn’t have broken our transfer record three times.
We started playing 4-3-3. With a massive fee for Wirtz who can’t play in that system. Same for Frimpong. Two CFs for over £200 million to share the same place. Now we’ve switched to a more accommodating 4-4-1-1/4-4-2 which means Salah isn’t needed meaning his contract renewal was stupid. Had it been a proper plan to have a formation to accommodate the signings we would’ve played that from day one of preseason. Not fumbling our way into November and throwing away the league.
We still didn’t address centre back or more defensive minded midfielder. So yes. We signed names not profiles.
