This is what happens when you sign players in their late 20's who have never been at the top. Football is the biggest thing in any pro's life, they think constantly about it, they each have their own philosophy about it. And when you go for so long without winning and you spend your career fully understanding you're not the best and you always look up at others then you can never truly believe that you can beat the best.
We need to sign 2 types of players in the summer: 1) young and stupid and make 'em believe they can beat anyone, 2) players who've been there and done it like Ozil.
And no more Cinderlla-type players from France either. "Can you believe he played Ligue 2 football only last year?" Yes, yes i fucking can.
