Still Pining for Wenger
Fair enough but those other losses you mention came at the end of a long unbeaten run when our defence fell apart through injury.
The bottom line here is that our squad is thin and has been for some time. As soon as your star players go missing and you start dragging in 2nd string players the quality drops. Bellerin is much better than Lich or AMN in that position.
And you’re up against a squad who can just draft in a player like Sanchez for fun, who’s as fresh as a daisy and hasn’t even been needed . . when a for a few years he was our best player and needed like crutch.
We lost to Chelsea and City at the beginning of the season.
Tell me something, were you banging this squad cost and thin squad drum when Wenger was here in his last few seasons or was all of that somehow irrelevant then?
Now this isn't directed at you but I just find it baffling how its all gone from being the manager's fault to every single factor but the manager is to blame.
Sanchez hasn't been "needed" because he's been atrocious for them. He's also older. The Sanchez we had was playing much better than his current United incarnation so your implication doesn't work. You're trying to imply that Sanchez was a key player for us while for United he's just squad player while basically ignoring he's been awful for them and that is why he's a squad player.
