Competing is what 3rd by less than 10 puts?

Pts*

I'd be happy to throw all our planning into being a CL force over the league. They are imo different briefs

Who would you pick?

The best option out there by my reckoning is the guy we let go last year

Bielsa

Blarmy maybe you're right but I can't see us getting much better under Sarri without serious investment. We could get much better under a different manager playing in a different way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t want Sarri out but this is definitely the concern. These players just seem incapable of playing he way he wants. He is going to have to go all in on youth and while he hasn’t been as resistant to do this as other managers we have had - it definitely isn’t a natural fit for him.

Yes none of that Liverpool forward line is frankly as good as Hazard but that's a better attack than any side we've built with him in it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how far behind Hazard would you put Mane & Salah then...?

Not very IMO but Hazard has been carrying this team for a while now. Not sure them 2 could do that.

this team doesn't need carrying...it needs players of their stature to be so close to winning the league on 97 points...so job done as far as I can see

Hazard in the same bracket as Neymar

Mane and Salah in the same bracket as Griezmann and Sterling (as playing this year)

I don't think Kante is in the wrong place right now.

And 3 at the back is pretty much dead again.

So no.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Kante is in the wrong place personally...(& i'm not alone) what we need is a a new Lampard in that slot...huge tall order I grant you

Lamps probably wont be replicated

Bayern Munich are eyeing a move for Ajax star Hakim Ziyech as their hopes of signing Callum Hudson-Odoi fade away.

The Bundesliga giants are eager to bolster their squad as they look to continue their domination within Germany and become one of the most feared sides in Europe again.

And according to German publication Sport Bild, Bayern have turned their attentions to Ziyech and have already made contact with the 26-year-old.
