If they had got Frenkie de Jong instead of Casemiro/Amrabat, they’d be cooking. There was a window of opportunity when Barcelona was open to selling.
It’s always felt like it’s a bad manager - squad combination, because I just see a big vacuum of ball-players in the midfield. Casemiro is decent but strengths are elsewhere, Mount is not all that, Amrabat and McTominay are definitely not up for it, and even Eriksen is not good enouh to be a key player for a top side and can’t do it all by himself.
