Something has to change or it will be many, many years before someone other than City, Manure, Liverpool or Chelski even come close to winning the Premier League.
Strange things have happened to me due to lockdown. I am now beginning to believe Leicester City won the PL by intelligent design because the amount of money spent by the clubs since that fluke tells me something like that will never happen again.
Is it just evolution? I know Forest were the first club to spend a million on one player and look at them now, where is there billionaire owner. God only knows what the future holds for Football but it does seem a shame that our only hope of progression is not decided on the pitch but in our ability to attract another Billionaire playboy to compete.
Great for him that he has burst onto the International scene with a bang in arguably the greatest Football nation on Earth. Crap for us because i can't see him making Southampton away and that places a little bit of negativity in my mind regards the result.
Bielsa must address worrying statistic:
It is a concern that we are not very proficient at either end of the pitch at the moment, Watford wasn't a very good marker, hopefully Llorente will be around long enough to help out at one end. I would like to see us with a disciplined solid block of 4 like England do (2cb 2 dm) and let the rest run about like headless chickens. I think we would see a difference, although i am not sure who would sit in with Kalvin, possibly Koch when he returns or Pascal currently. This man is not for turning tho and i can't blame him with his experience.

It couldn't happen again. Debate on the radio would Arsenal threaten the top 4 in the next 5 years and they have money...
