Real Sociedad are on another level compared to us. Hell, we are like 10 levels below them at the moment.
This has been a disaterous season. There is no cohesion at all and we’ve spent a record amount of money on complete flops. I don’t understand how the Schmidt doesn’t have the balls to drop players like Rafa or Joao Mario who are incredibly out of form, or why he insists on playing Cabral, Tengsted and Chiquinho all the time.
Put some youngsters in from the academy. At least they’ll have more fight in them.
