We finished a point off. Chelsea are very dependent on internal improvements and a rookie coach, while United will be doing United things. An immediate write-off is rather strong, no?
and we also collapsed like a deflated balloon in the last half of the season. chelsea, who looked absolutely abysmal, wiped the floor with us in the europa league final. sure, they lost hazard, but what have we gained? our defense was shambolic for most of last season and it hasnt been addressed yet at all, except for maybe signing a CB and then loaning him out immediately.
we have so much dead weight in our first team and we havent moved any of it this summer. and for all the knocks on ramsey, at least you knew he could score goals and get into good positions. we'll miss him. i have zero confidence in 8 or 9 of the players in our best XI. and i lost most of my confidence in the manager after the epic meltdown he engineered in the last few months of the season. so yeah, unless we make big changes and do it soon, i think this season is a write-off
