I'm prepared to cut him a little slack where our transfer business is concerned - Man U were going hard for a lot of CBs too and they also ended up with no one, so it could just have been a shit summer for decent CBs moving around? And it sounds like the lack of a defensive midfielder wasn't for lack of trying either - by all accounts, we went after several high-profile players (Bender, Khedira, Carvalho), as well as some more modest targets too (Rabiot), but it's difficult to know how straighforward / complex each of those talks were without having been involved, so I don't think it's right to go too overboard on that?
What I'm finding increasingly hard to defend, though, is things like the lack of shape and structure I keep seeing on the pitch, our lack of preparation and motivation going into games, the way it takes us an age to get our shit together whenever we suffer a setback, the way some players sit on the bench gathering dust while others are worked to breaking point, Yaya Sanogo, etc - certain things I might be willing to chalk up to the shortened pre-season, the fact that we've had more games than anyone else because of CL qualifiers, and a string of fairly tough games (Everton > Man City > Dortmund), but to be honest some of these things just happen way too frequently for them to be anything other than fundamental problems with our coaching and training...
