We failed to strengthen adequately and to move forward and capitalise on how strong we were both after winning the Champions League and after winning the league, to the point we weren't even able to mount a defence of our title as we started the following season short of one top quality CB, and we're now starting our second season in a row short of at least one to quality CM and carrying too many midfielders who aren't of the required quality, consistency or are too injury prone
Gini was the last midfield signing we got right, that was a very long time ago
BUMP
Been trying to tell you lads since 18-20 we were starting to lose our way, it started when we failed to invest and add strength to our forward line and midfield in the summer on 19 and was encapsulated when Jurgen brought Fab back in at DM when we'd been far better and the best we'd ever been under Jurgen in his absence at the end of the 19-20 season, I've seen this coming
