Minus Sigurdsson and James - our two most creative players. We also did not lose DCL for the bulk of last season, like we have this. The James loss is no excuse, though, as Benitez rid himself of him. We simply cannot do without DCL, Mina, and Doucoure out together for extended periods while also losing Richarlison and Digne for good measure. This crisis is far worse than anything last term. Put simply, the manager needs to do way better but he'll need better players if he really wants to progress because most of these have cost four managers their jobs now.
