To get back on track.

They're going to get worse over the next few seasons.

happen but is a nice wish.

We owe them a proper thrashing this weekend. Hopefully they get no new manager bounce. At least Ralf Rangnick is not in charge until after our game. He actually is a decent manager, so I expect somewhat of a rebound perhaps, especially if Sancho and Penendes start to heat up.

Slabhead and Lindelöf are shite CB's, and Varane is still out injured, so that remains a huge weakness, plus their DMF and CMF with dregs like Fred has been pants, with Penendes also having been a trainwreck this season so far.

Their fullbacks are poor on offence as well, with Shaw falling back to earth and AWB beings so one dimensional. Only thing remotely saving them so many times so far is CR7 late in games.

We suffered a big blow though, with Chilwell out until February at least, and maybe the entire remainder of the season, which fucking sucks. It will be Alonso and perhaps Saul (he can play LB and this may be his bug break, as he has been dire at CMF so far, in his limited minutes, a shadow of the WC player he was 2, 3, 4 years back) there, plus Azpi in a true pinch.
