Agreed, we are in this mess due to chopping and changing managers and providing them with a big budget to spend on ‘their’ players, no wonder we don’t have a style or identity.
I think the closest we came to a style and identity was under Silva. I actually think he was massively unlucky in his last season with injuries and we failed to get a striker in and the CB he requested to replace Zouma and also Doucoure in.
it completely fell apart for him, but there was legitimate reason such as injuries. He had a shocker really with them, especially to key players.
He was much better than Martinez and Koeman IMO and looked to be building something long term.
should we have been patient and give him another season in hindsight? Then strengthened the weakened areas in the TW.
