Just a a blip

If you're using it as a stick to beat Carrick with, then fair enough. Crack on. Because really he is the only credible reason you'd use cross season stats. It's a very different team to last year. Carrick is the common denominator.

But if that's what you're doing then be honest about it. You're saying Carrick is the problem.

Why does it have to be one problem and not numerous?
Carrick is definitely part of the problem, don’t get me wrong I don’t want him sacked but he keeps making questionable decisions in regards to tactics and subs

The Chairman and the recruitment team are also common denominators.

Scott is also a common denominator.
He has a Bobby's job that lad.
Zero questions, zero accountability.

But last season the recruitment team pulled together a side that went on an incredible run. So you're saying it's their fault the side tailed off at the back end of the season? Can't have it both ways.

Archer and Ramsey not good enough?
 
Whilst they are in situ they work on a continuum and will be judged on each episode of recruitment.

Maybe so. But I'm talking explicitly about form across both seasons. People are using the form at the end of last season as additional ammo against the side.

Therefore if not Carrick, they're surely saying the side we had at the end of last season wasn't good enough anyway. Despite those moving on elsewhere costing circa £60m to their new clubs.

Ultimately the side we had at the end of last season fell off a cliff.

Which is fair enough.

But at the end of last season we had the players. Surely most would agree. So if you're taking into account form across both seasons, the blame lies mostly with Carrick.

If you're taking this season in isolation then yes, plenty of blame to go around.
 
It was clear today we should have started with 2 up front but he dont want to do that as we might leave our self open to considing goals.

Ramsey was more than good enough, but did not play the last 6 matches of last season - he was a major loss.
Archer was - is - a class act. Akpom too.
They were our shining lights in the second half of last season.
We miss them badly.
The truth is that they were excellent and the supporting cast were not.
Now we just have a bigger cast, but no quality.

Recruitment have done a pitiful job. Carrick has a massive squad of very average players at best.
