I know Denver said you don't miss Mane, but i think you miss him quite a lot. I think with a lot of the mid level teams, they just don't care when playing the top 5 anymore. They play more aggressively with the fear of losing not really worrying them. It's great for the game as a whole tbh.

The prob with Chelsea was the scattergun approach to transfers. There didn't seem as though there was a plan. It was just buy him, buy him, can't buy him, so we'll buy that other one instead. Might take a couple of years for the new owner to calm down and start implementing a real strategy.
Obviously we miss Mane, but the problem has always been sell to buy, so it's always one out, one in. We have 87yr old Milner getting more minutes this season than he has for years. I was talking about these problems 3/4 years ago, and this was always destined to be the end result. FSG convinced fans that not improving the squad was the best way to improve the squad. We'll get back on form and prob finish top 4, but the squad is a shambles, and FSG will no way in hell pay the money required to fix the issues.
