People forget he was the clubs top scorer last season aha.
Getting rid of Abraham, Werner, Lukaku in quick succession and replacing them with... a washed up Aubameyeng and Sterling who is a winger who works in a very specific way... yeh, kind of easy to see why they cannot score. Felix and Mudryk are good players but also not "scorers"... both have always needed a #9 to really work well.
Felix had Suarez, Morata.
And Mudryk is a kid who while talented has scored a grand total of 12 goals in 87 games at a professional level.
The last 2 years they have really been very "Flyerish"... no overall philosophy, no actual team-building and direction in place.
Contrast that with City, what Arsenal has done under Arteta, Klopp's whole Liverpool reign, what Newcastle are doing under Howe... and even the way Ten Haag has worked since taking over?
Yeh, you can never win the Prem without building a "team" everyone is too good. No team wins with just a collection of expensive good players, no-one ever has!
Really they should do something like:
Bring in a guy like Nagelsmann, Amorim, Kompany... young with a very specific vision of how to play football and who have guys around them already who they would bring in to give team a real stamp and strong backroom staff. And give them proper carte blanche... to run things how THEY want.
Because they will know better than Boehly and his merry band of ill fitting puzzle pieces. It was COMICAL that Boehly himself was sporting director for so long, lmao, what hubris.
I mean, they now have Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart and Christopher Vivell in key roles... all have solid track records, but also screams "going out and buying the best toys in the shop" without a thought for how their philosophies fit together. Unlike City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle... and now United, who have far more consistent teams in place ideology wise.
