Thats so depressing
Why???
Mane - the player who has by far been the RS' best this season and scored 15 goals last year?
Or Long, the 10 goal striker.
Or Pelle, who also hit double figures?
Or Tadic, who assists and scores...
They finished 6th for a reason. Just like we finished 11th for a reason.

funny thing is mate, you say this now.
when he is playing champions league football and we are still mid table signing all our players from the bottom half of the league, will look a little silly then.
He'll play Champions League football because some absolute sucker with too much money will look at his goal return on buy on that basis. He'll never get close to the trophy though, and we can get down to the serious business of building a cohesive team once him and his cannonshins are gone.

But it isn't, and it worked, much better than anything Martinez tried for two years.
Look at most of the goals we scored in RM's first season.
All of the best were when we got the ball forward quickly. Not long balls, but just quick, incisive play.
That's what we're missing.

Except, imagine this.
He plays in a team who don't hoof the ball up to him and have players supporting him on the pitch, maybe even more than one (which is what any competent team does) and he then thrives off the service when it isn't hoofed 20 foot into the air to him.
What if, and a big if here, what if our attacking play to him for the past 3 years from bog average players is the problem?

Id rather we mirrored ourselves on a title winning style rather than a Koeman team tbh.
what title winning style would that be?
to be fair here, Leicester were a punt and hope team.
I was wondering about this, too. Does it make sense to sell him in January and begin "rebuilding" now so things are more settled next summer?
Aye, I'd prefer if we did it now and got ourselves ready for next season. Not that we'd necessarily have to give up on the Europa or anything.
£100m for Barkley and Luaku in January and i'd happily take it. May actually get 2 footballers who look for space in the final third rather than opposition players
