last summer at the end of the window there seemed to be a split between euphoria at our signings and not being far off a title challenge and those concerned at no central midfield signings.
I dont think anybody would have forseen just how poor we were last season. I thought with our midfield we would be fighting for 4th place.
My worry and subsequent predittion currently. The manager is happy to start with Dalot as our right back and will sign a playmaking midfielder, but currently no clear signla a defensive midfielder is on the agenda. If that happens, for get the coaching, formations, other signings.....its poor.
I would have thought it is blindingly obvious we need to sign a defensive midfielder (that can be an all rounder that can defend not jsut an anchor man) alongside another signing liek DeJOng.....but I have seen loads of comment of people being happy with Fred or McTominay or VDB alongisde him for now and there are other prioirities.
Each to there own, all entiteled to opinions, but I am flabbergasted. Have people forgot jsut how open we were in the middle and how poor all of our midfielders were defensively especially, positionally etc etc.
We start with Dalot and one of those three, we dont finish in the top four, that is how strongl I feel about it, its that simple in my eyes. Ten Hag isnt superman, if he doesnt see it now he soon will, if he doesnt see it soon he worries me
