The whole outfield squad, in any combination, or formation, is just not good enough for the top half premier league. We have been collecting average to poor players for far too long.

Time to rest Ramsey, drop his teammates in the middle and see what Carney, O'Reilly, and Iroegbunam can do, maybe continue with Sansom as the glue.

Then ‘BANG!!!’, wield the axe in the summer. Em1 and the Brazilian loanee, are the only two that I’d miss.
