A few players have lost their mojo atm, hopefully Jose can get them playing well again. We need Pogba and Ibra back. Rojo looked good last season, he's even a decent LB. Obviously fullback positions need sorting, right forward and a decent hardworking box2box midfielder. We needed quite an overhaul, but couldn't do it all in two summers. I'm confident we'll complete build this summer and look a more balanced side, with a stronger bench.

I thought Rojo started to look good at CB but was usually pretty shocking at LB and I'm really not sure Ibra is the answer to any question, he is clearly talented and an icon but he is slow and ponderous. When we had Lukaku, Martial and Rashford on the pitch we looked dangerous but there was no link from the midfield. With what we have now I think 4-3-3 might be the way forward with Martial and Rash dropping back when needed to strengthen the middle. Matic, Pogba and Fellaini/ Herrera is a strong combination and with that pace up front we will worry anybody. I'm not sure why we need a specific number 10 when Pogba is back.

How many windows do you need to complete the project?

How many more 90 million duds do you need to buy?

We played a midfield of Miki Herrera and matic, 2 of them players bought by Jose and the answer to improve them is buy more .
Them 3 are all good players, people where raving about Miki when we bought him, Herrera was everyone's favourite player matic just a few week ago was the reason Chelsea was struggling and we where winning .

How many of our players played well today? Maybe the answer is to get the players we have and the players Jose has bought playing well .
City are playing out of there skin but players like sterling otamendi delph stones have got dogs abuse on here .

Jred, you're wasting your breath mate, we need to spend million NHS and buy better players.

I think we need Milinkovic-Savic, Fabinho, the wb Martin and peirrera back. Goodbye to shaw, the wig and Herrera or mata.

Our players are certainly lacking confidence Jred, i've said that. It's clear Miki and Lukaku are having a dip in form. It's not permanent and doesn't mean they need replacing. But I think Jose is not a huge fan of Herrera and Fellaini looks on his way, so can see us buying a busy, hardworking box to box midfielder.

Pep has gotten the players playing well and their tails are certainly up at the moment for sure. Form and confidence plays a massive part and agree you don't just keep buying and selling when players lose form. But LB is a concern. RB is a concern. We needed another midfielder today so that is a concern. And I think right forward needs something.

What do you think we need? What would you do in the summer if you were manager?

Tony is fine at rb imo lb is a concern.
Jose went into the season with Carrick fellaini pogba Herrera and matic it's not a bad set of options .

But why are we talking about next season at the start of November?
What if we buy a new number 10 only 2 year after buying Miki and that doesn't work out?
When do you say we need to get the best out of this squad never mind about next year .
At the start of the season would people of been happy with a front 3 of lukaku rash martial with Miki at 10 pogba matic cm lindelof bailly ddg.

If city where not playing well now people would be saying they need to replace delph stones otamendi sterling but that team as much as I hate to say it is playing the best footy in Europe.

As well as city are playing they like every other team will buy again in the summer and next season is another season . the important thing is they are getting the best out of there players in the here and now.

Of course it's important we get the best out of the players we have now. That is what we pay Jose for. I couldn't agree more. But I'm simply saying what I think we need to do to complete the rebuild.

Fellaini and Carrick will likely be gone and I don't think Herrera is someone Jose trusts. So when we need a three man midfield, I don't think Jose is happy with Herrera, Matic and Pogba.

Valencia is getting old, he's a winger converted into a fullback. He's not a bad player at all. I like him, but we need to build for future and like I said he needs ice pack after every game.

This isn't a knee jerk reaction to our defeat, this is what I think we need to get us to the highest level. I said this before the season kicked off.

I genuinely believe we'll turn this around. I think we will look a different side over the winter schedule.

You don't complete a rebuild, next summer we will need to replace some players the following summer we will need to replace some and on and on and on .
Jose has been very vocal in his support for fellaini you seem to be leaving him out of our 3 man cm this year .
Jose has a cm of matic pogba fellaini Herrera and Carrick this year next year is another season .

Are we getting the best out of our players now? What's to say we will next year?
As a team you could be playing well but just need that extra player or that touch of quality but is this team actually playing well at the moment?

Fellaini could be gone January Jred, that's why I am taking about another midfielder.

I think I'm losing sight of your point. I completely agree with you about us not playing well. I've said it for weeks now.

Syd
My point is I'm more concerned with our manager getting the best out of our players this season than looking at next season .
It all sound like excuses if we lose we need to buy x y z. Sometimes you just need to play better.

Who's the £90m dud? Pogba is our best player, Malaga. Make no mistake about it he's instrumental to us and the no coincidence we've been poor since he's been injured.

AJH, rojo is decent at CB, by but woeful at LB. we need a top class specialist LB, asap. As for ibra I don't think we miss him one bit.
