We need to move on Wilson, Miggy, Almiron and Targett. Sign a CB, a first choice LB, a first choice RW and a striker. Would ideally like another press resistant midfielder.
Something just doesn’t feel right with the performances. The team are lacking confidence, they don’t seem to know what to do, defending has become a farce.
I think in each of their cases they will be wanting to see how ambitious the club are in the transfer window and how each of their games can go to another level. Isak will be wanting better service and more chances and Bruno will be wanting to play in the number 8 role. The answer has in a change of system. Play with a proper number 6 and two fullbacks that can push up.
I think a pass mark for this season was to finish best of the rest. So 7th or 8th. I think anything below that will be concerning for the owners, even with the injury issues.
I don’t think anyone in this thread want Howe to fail. I’d love to see him turn this around and challenge near the top again. But there are valid concerns and questions being asked. Thomas Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea 2 years ago and now can’t hold onto a job. Times change.
