Levy and Hitchin two of our football geniuses who have brought us to this point are still involved in transfer decisions..

This will end in one of two ways. Conte and Paratici are listened to and backed and we get back into the top five teams.

Or we listen to the geniuses and we end up like an Everton or Newcastle pre takeover stuck in no man’s land going nowhere watching actual well run and financed clubs pass us by.

It was the reason we came up short in the title race with Leicester. I believe they had 3 strikers on their books at the time and weren’t playing in Europe. We had 1.

Average first 11 is being very kind. We maybe have a decent first 3.

I think it is more that he wanted to rest Kane and Moura and Son is injured. He, therefore, needed someone as a number 10 to Dele’s number 9 and despite the abundance of back up strikers we have (as we have had for years) he foolishly picked Gill for the role.

Is that the one where in Poch’s infinite wisdom played Son as LWB, and we know what happened there .

Even when we had a highly promising and useful outfit under Poch, lack of squad depth deep into the season would often result in us coming up short. I don’t remember who we actually had on our bench that FA Cup semi final afternoon when at a late stage of the game Chelsea brought on Diego Costa! And, of course, went on to win the game.

Note how Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling raised their games to get back in City’s first team ie the benefit a club derives by having real competition for places, clearly a concept old baldy doesn’t get!

So poor for so long at least Antonio showed what a complete and utter shower make up the playing staff. Grateful for the win but my God so many of ours were poor..I’ll exclude Winks at least he looked like he gave a toss.

NDombelly has said multiple times he wanted to leave, yes he could take a wage cut to help a move BUT the chairman has said he’s staying. So where does the fault ultimately sit.

When Poch’s team was flying we had a first eleven as good as anyone’s but no depth.

Now we have an average first eleven and even less depth, if that is possible.

GOT to be the end of Deli and NDom. NDom in particular, not a good look to be booed off by your own fans when subbed. I’d be devastated if that was me!

Basically we have a 12 man squad, the rest are excreta. It’s been like that for many years too which is why we never win anything, because by the end of the season the first 11 are shattered. Come on Levy even a 5 year old can see the problem?

Seriously, the problem is that there is not one of this starting 11 that can knock on the manager’s door and demand an opportunity.
