Sure its been said a lot, but first half only highlights our failures in the transfer market. Especially (and shocked me number of people saying we didnt need one) the failure to sign TWO centre backs of quality let alone one. And before people say the board let Mourinho down, these are the two centre backs Mourinho signed remember.
I like Bailly, but if he cant cut out the rashness in his game he wont be a top centre back. Lindelof will never be a top centre back, how any fan not blinkered can rate him is beyond me, he is so averae in every facet of being a centre back. Worst signing since Fellaini.
We have also seen the need for a right winger, Mata as much as I like him, shouldnt be at the club still, there is no place for him in 4-3-3. Fred has struggled first half too but it is just his second game.
Other player I want to single out as a dud though everybody seems to like him is our goalscorer. SUre he scored, but bar that and the time he nicked the ball and fluffed his finish I am pretty sure he gave away the ball on EVERY other touch he had. SO many moves break down around Lukaku, he is such a poor player with his back to goal it is unbelievable.
Only player with any credit from the first half is again Pereira
