It's unlikely we will get away with it again next season.
And we need help for fern.
That's 2 priorities.
We don't need a left back, at a push we could start thinking about long term replacements for vinny and or otamendi.
Five different players scored yesterday.
That's very true they did indeed. But those type of games against lower league opposition are not the bench mark for the team now and for a team playing free of pressure, as we are.
In the recent 'big' pressure games we played against rags and both CL semis we lacked in finishing. We also made defensive errors. We are good enough to retain the title but if we are to advance next season in the CL we will need more upfront and defensively.
Spot on.
To win the CL we have to beat the top top teams. We have four issues to address if we want to win it:
1. Otter is not good enough - decision making, pace and positioning
2. Vinny is not good enough - pace and ball distribution
3. Fern - we need a like for like replacement if he is injured
4. Clinical striker required i.e. we miss to many goal chances at present
