As we are about half way through the season I wanted to come back and reasses my rating for the summer window. I gave it a six when the window closed, if I could so it again is probably bump it down to a 5.

I have it as. Qualify for CL above par Qualify for UL OR UCL. As par. Top 10 below par but you close an eye. 11-16. Serious questions are being asked. 17 -20 unthinkable.

I think he's consistently over achieved tbh however I can't say that this season. I think the team and himself are currently underachieving and it'd obviously something we are used to. yed he's been backed and rightfully so, we want to compete with the best after all.

Doesn't that put you in a awkward place? I mean it's Eddie's squad which he's obviously made over the course of the last 4 years.

The squad is fine, nothing more than that though. It's very unbalanced and been moulded to play a way we seemingly no longer play. Its a massive head scrarcher how we've got here mind and I'm really hoping Eddie can fix it.

That's exactly how I feel, very little being done to play to this lads actual strengths.

Not going to put the boot into this legend but I do find it perplexing. A lot of our game used to be about forcing teams and hitting quickly now we barely force any mistakes and look like a poorly coached possession team with players I'll suited to it.

Yet more points pissed away. Well done to all involved.

I'm waiting for the summer window we had to come good. Yet it appears to only get worst

You would never guess we are a CL team.

We really miss having a flair player on the right who can invert. 250m spent and im still having to witness Barnes and Gordon playing together.

Yup absolutely which is fine right, however rules are in place to prevent others spending because spending is tide to revenue and not profit with outside investment also banned. It's an absolute farce.

Naaa cmon man, you can't make that assumption. After all Bunce seems to be very highly regarded and that was Mitchell's guy.

NGL it's very sobering this, just to remind everyone they are 750m in debt and spent so much with no negative impact. The rules absolutely stink.

They should they spent much more than us have a much bigger budget and way less games.

It's actually weird watching this because a lot of Guardiolas tactics have always been about preventing counter attacks by using clearly defending build up shapes for the purposes of rest defense. So his team are either doing what they want or he's essentially given up.

This sir is fake news. Because Paul Mitchell can't have possible do anything which might be positive. Impossible.

He will look amazing against those teams who show them too much respect and look below average against anyone who doesn't.

Thanks, that's from the athletic right? I was sure I read it Luke Edwards and Lovejoy had me questioning my memory

Cmon, let's not pretend he doesn't have an input on who they buy. We've been saying it for awhile but Arsenal have the strongest squad by miles.

Yeah that's what I'm saying we didn't have the energy to press them high but it's the correct approach. You can't play the reputation in football you have to play what's in front of you.

If we could have we should have, that being said we are obviously exhausted.

They've pissed away so much money and again because they've juiced up before the rules were changed it doesn't matter because the will just keep throwing money at it. Guardiola might be burnt out though, obviously his private life is shambles and he's been working none stop for years

Deserved it like, City are pathetic so much money spent and this is what they have to show for it.

Rico Lewis again
