Sorry to repeat what I said in the shout box but Sir Alex would not have sat back and relaxed after winning the champions league or the league he would of continued to bring in top quality players to build a lasting dynasty. I'm just scratching my head, we actually regressed instead of taking the opportunity by the scruff of the neck. We added Jota and Thiago but we lost Wijnaldum and Shaqiri so the squad is the same if not weaker due to thiago injury problems. We missed the boat, simple as. We could of and should of been winning countless trophies each season but instead we are struggling to get in a league cup final which I doubt we'll win anyway as Chelsea have a superior team and lost the league already. I'm really gutted at what has happened to the club in such a short period of time. Salah has been carrying the club on his back and there is still no news on a new contract. Club is a mess at the moment but you just wonder what could have been if we knuckled down and continued to bring in players and go from strength to strength.
Player for player, on paper, the first team is slightly better because Jota is so much better than Shaq. However, a few players have dropped from their peak, namely VVD, Mane, Firmino, Milner whereas City has progressed immensely specially at the back and Chelsea as well with new players and manager. Talking about Alex F, he constantly renewed his team by changing a couple of players, Pep is doing the same. For us, the only major change has been Jota
