We don't compete because we are set up not to. The day we think that is acceptable is the day we accept life as west brom.... We can sign an entirely new squad and it won't make a blind bit of difference.
We don't compete because we are playing a 20 year old kid as our main striker, who looks like he's dead on his feet and he sould be coming on for the final 20 minutes of games to get experience.
Also we are playing with essentially 10 men with that clown martina as left back.
Loads of teams have played like us and won things but just have had a longer time to implement it with signings that can implement it.
Conte last season played a defensive style with long balls to costa as its main outlet, mourinio with drogba, zlatan, benzema and milito. They just have better players and more time to implement their style.
You think that if pep took over swansea and after 10 games and no transfer window they'd be playing like city do now? Of course not. It took pep a season, 2 pre seasons, 3 transfer windows and a hell of a lot of money to get his style in place with players he wants to play it and he's the best manager in the world ffs.
People on here won't even give allerdyce till the end of the transfer window Because they think we should be playing total football or something. Need to get a grip we haven't played good football for a prolonged period at everton since martinez first season and even then we went crap at the last 7-8 games.
