Not saying it was okay to lose but we put certain teams to the sword under Bielsa and it was good to watch and exciting.

The squad he had wasn’t good or deep enough to play the football he wanted and when we got injuries we couldn’t cope.

If we had bought Adams and Aaronson at the start of last season sure we would have played some scintillating stuff - though no doubt they would have both got COVID and injured!

Bielsa never said he didn’t want more players he just said there is no point buying journeymen if you want the squad to improve. He also had a very good eye for a player - look at the ones that got away White, Gvardiol, Downes, Nketiah

He needed whoever scouts for Brighton to be on our staff too. Orta has pulled off some decent signings but some dross too.

Brighton seem to be either incredibly lucky or have a very good system- Bournemouth too.

We seem to be standing still at best and in some respects going backwards by not moving on or addressing the areas that need tackling - aging squad and positions with weakness.

This was the season Radz and Kinnear were also clear that the ground development would start - so far nada.

It’s just frustrating as it could be so much better without signing galacticos. Jesse Marach also sadly seems to be naive and tactically inept at times for all that he seems a lovely bloke and able to make the players feel good.
