Player Valuation: £15m
It truly does wind me up to no end seeing shouts about Carlo. Honestly. Look let’s be honest, yes he made poor changes tonight, fair enough. But Christ what is he supposed to do lace up his old pair of boots and bring himself on to finish the chances?
He changed players to a more defensive shape as Palace brought on 3 attackers and were at us all night. Fair enough they didn’t work out but this is totally on the players, again. Dom, Richy and Keane cost us that tonight without a shadow of a doubt. Should and would’ve been a comfortable win if they didn’t all collectively decide to play their worst games of the season all at the same time.
Also look the squad is still poor and we all know it, Carlo has brought in 4 players in the summer that start basically every game, (Godfrey being the exception as he’s growing into it) and we’ve been missing all 4 for large parts of the season. Add onto that we’ve been missing basically every other nailed down first choice player for weeks to months too at some point e.g Dom, Pickford and Digne.
Carlo has had no luck whatsoever this year, some results have been disappointing yes but I would say most of the time it’s been down to individual errors or poor player performance rather than tactics or subs. Look today for a very direct example.
I do believe in the summer we’ll address the squad further and probably add another 3 starters at least if not more meaning of the squad Carlo inherited less than 18 months ago he’ll have had to bring in 7 or 8 starters to the team, just think of the perspective, no other decent team would have to do that but we do that’s just literally how poor of a squad we have. We can all see it and say it every week but even still there’s people who lay the blame at Carlo’s feet it’s bizarre.
Look we need Europe this season, it’d be a travesty without it and I think we’ll get some form of it, obviously just disappointing that we could’ve actually relatively easily picked up Champions League if the squad wasn’t so full of bottlers and losers. However look at it this way I’d much prefer next year to go deep into the Europa League and challenge to win it, build a better more competitive squad and secure a more long term challenge further up the league than to get into the Champions League and maybe not even make it out of the group stages.
Come August I hope we’ll be looking at this team with a new RB, RW, at least and probably 2 other starters while shifting out more of the deadwood rotting at the club and we’ll be in a lot better shape. All about regrouping now and pushing on for the rest of the season getting as many points as possible and finishing as high as we can.
Carlo is the man to bring success back to this club. He cannot however do it with bad players.
