We're in decline, even with all players fit the lack of investment and poor signings have caught up with us, we are NOTHING approaching being anywhere near as good as we were in 2018-2020 while other teams are improving
I even think Jurgen's lost his way a little through the enforced changes last season, I don't think he's got our team back to playing as it did at its very best, I think he has realised, a little late in the day for me that Fabinho can't play No6 in a 3 in a high press and that's altered things a little too, as he's been playing with another mid sitting alongside him in a lopsided 433 which is more like a 4-2 something, except for the 2 sitting pretty much occupy the LCM controller role and no6 position
I don't think Thiago was the right type of midfielder for how we play or the Premier League, letting Gini go and not replacing him was an even bigger fuck up than letting Lovren go and not replacing him and Mane looks as though he won't ever be the 18-20 Mane ever again, legs have gone or the desire have gone, one of the two
Edit: My opinion, which I have been of ever since that 15 game 15 wins run in Fab's absence in 19-20 that really brought the title home, is that is what we should be looking at and studying, together with further evolution of our full backs plays and interactions with our forwards and our recruitment should be based around that structure also, it's working out really very well for Guardiola
