I can sadly see that some people are not prepared to see this season as top 6 and allow this squad to bed in. The only player we are likely to lose IMO is Lloris, and given Vorm's showing last night, it will be clear to our chairman that we have to fudgeing well buy a top class replacement and not dingdong about.
Lloris, Vert & Eriksen if we have a really bad season.
Honestly a nutless monkey (tropic thunder reference, not racist) could get 6th with this squad, no magic system, no special training, just set up right and right selection.
Jol, Harry, AVB, TS and Poch ... not sure what next season brings different if squad beds in .. top 4 will just go out and buy another 100M+ each of players, and fudging brick clubs will have enough tv money that they won't need to sell to clubs like us.
Hence, the "strategy" of rolling over for these kind of cup games makes no sense whatsoever ...
