It is obvious who is no longer part of the forward-moving group, those whose flushes are busted.
Eriksen, Alderweireld, Aurier, possibly Jan, sadly Dier (whose regression has been so sad - I wanted him to succeed today but he underscored why he has not been a regular), Wanyama and Davies. They are done. Dele? We shall see. He is an amazing talent who needs some very careful stewardship at a very important time in his life. Rose? Done at the end of the season but still of sufficient fight and spirit.
I think the old guard who can core-up and help the new mkII are Kane, Sonny, Lamela, Winks, Sissoko, Lloris. Possibly Jan (see above).
I think our new signings will all work out top be quality personally.
I think in the immediate youth set-up, we need to start playing Foyth, Skipp, Tanganga and Parrott more often.
The others? We need to see. Lucas is a great asset when he plays through the middle, but otherwise not so much. KWP, not good enough in the crunch for me but still time to prove me wrong.
I think Poch needs to be given the chance to build another side. I would PERSONALLY like him to take on another coach to reinvigorate the training ground, and I wish he'd sign someone like Alves short-term to help steward through the kids/youth and show our experienced players what it is to make the final step. He doesn't do it I know, but I wish he would.
To short-term bounce right now would be the wrong move IMO, unless Poch has decided he has had enough.
