We're not getting top 4 playing back to the wall defending for 90 minutes.

We have to play back to the wall defending for 90 minutes because when we try to play footy like we did the other day, we have zero options to change it up if it's not working.

Can you not see how one leads into the other?
 
It's not though, we aren't good enough yet. It's about getting 6th and progressing past Spurs.

It is though.

We've got 2 games in hand on Spurs and Chelsea, both of whom are on the same points as us. We're six points off Leicester with 2 games in hand.

Top 4 is absolutely up for grabs. If you aim for top four, then you're much more likely to manage to finish top six.

I'm not asking for a £40m signing. I'm wanting the club to strengthen an area that was clearly weak at the start of the season and is now even weaker.

If Leeds beat us on Wednesday - and I'm actually quite confident heading into that game btw - then they'll be a point behind us.
 


I'm telling you now we missed a trick not offering Atletico Madrid Lossl, Pennington, Kenny, Delph, Besic, Bolasie, Bernard, Tosun, Kean (loan with option to buy), Gordon (on loan) & Branthwaite (loan) plus 50m for Oblak

Thinking if we’d have just kept hold of Martina for one more year and threw him in there as well they may have accepted it. FFS Brandzzzz

The team is not good, we've spent 60m and finished 12th last season, Getting top 4 would be an almighty task and it's not helped that one of our best players has been virtually off form all season. One player is not changing this team unless his name is Bruno Fernandes, The signs all point towards improvement but this season it might just be too much for this thin squad.
 
Also Toff, I think when you're looking to sign a player like Perisic you don't leave it till the last day of the window.

Well, common sense would say that wouldn't it.

But then again, common sense would say that you don't go into a season when you're top after four games having won seven in a row in all comps and gamble that a then-injured Cenk Tosun would be fine as a rotation option in a season congested and impacted by a global pandemic.

You'd like to think if we were to make any moves today, they’d been in the works for a while.

I’d hate to think Brands is sitting there scrambling through his contact list sending “you up?” texts at the last minute trying desperately to sign a footballer.
