Are you judging the progress this season on 2 games???
No, I’m judging the progress since Christmas.

We don't tend to find our rhythm till october time - let's see how we've been playing by Christmas time before we judge any progress made
How? With only one of the key signings made before the season started. Two games in and Lo Celso has had 10 minutes. This was totally predictable with Levy's typical transfer prolonging. Until we have a chairman who understands how important preseason is to his coach we will continues to have slow starts to every season.True, but have slow starts not been a problem for a few years now?
I was hoping we’d have a different approach this cycle.
It’s not about one performance, it’s that there is no discernible progress away from the stuttering of last season despite an uninterrupted summer.
I don’t agree we stood still just because we didn’t sign anyone, it’s not the only way to improve a squad.

Lo Celso isn’t going to be the difference between us starting the season playing well or not. What about all the other members of the squad who had a full pre-season, should they not be expected to be up to speed?
Ideally you’d want all signings in before pre-season so they can integrate earlier into the team, but the idea that a single player signed on deadline day is the reason for our seemingly slow start is ridiculous.

How else do you improve a squad? If you're lucky you have a quality youth player break through but that is not something that can relied upon, we're not going to have a Harry Kane come through every season. Coaching the team can only take you so far if you don't possess the raw ingredients in the first place.
So yes transferring new players in is the most significant and reliable way to improve a squad. Remember every year you don't bring in player your existing players age a year, which can be both a positive and a negative.

No, I’m judging the progress since Christmas.
Seems a bit daft IMO considering the issues we had post Christmas
We had every player injured in that period
Personally I’ll judge come Christmas this year
I don't disagree that players can be improved upon via training, I do though likely disagree with you as to what extent. The raw materials need to be present in the first place, you can not carve a diamond from a hump of wood.physically, mentally, you train them and coach them, just because the games stop for two months doesn't mean the learning should

Also take into account as over the last 2 or so we have not really added any players, these same players have already been trained to the maximal level that Poch is able to achieve
More training is not at this going to improve them much beyond their current level. This is why new players are important, fresh blood and hopefully better attributes along with the chance that Poch will be able to push them further than their existing level.

Our midfield bloody hasn't [emoji38]we are not dealing with humps of wood though are we, all of the players in our squad have proven themselves as exceptional talents
Our midfield bloody hasn't [emoji38]
And my point was that they have ready been trained to a maximal level, Poch is not going to get any more of out the same group of players he's already had for multiple seasons.
