So the gameplan has boiled down to hoofing it into the box for Mariano, who is surrounded by 4 players plus a goalkeeper.
The best Ceballos can do is be between good and solid. An absurdly unremarkable player with zero character.
We'll have good and solid tied up for 4 years on a multi million Euro contract on a permanent vacation.
Vinicius is being left out to dry. We need experience around him to take off heat but there's nobody there.
Club has failed in terms of squad planning, plain and simple. Even with all the drama, Vini can’t get rested because we have no one else who is a consistent threat. Our attacking depth is shallow as hell. Rodrygo still inconsistent, Fede not a RW, Asensio an enigma, Hazard cooked, Mariano brain dead, etc…
I've said this but was told no managent has been excellent lol. They won titles, they can't fail even if they did.
You expect bench players to take 1 year deals? Nacho has never been a permanent starter here and has played his entire career at the club.
Casemiro would've had Maffeo in a wheelchair for a cheeky yellow card. We miss him being the adult in the room in situations like that.
