He just says that Stephens and Fraser aren't good enough for the Prem. Many may agree with this. He doesn't however offer much in terms of solutions, and / or state which players are good enough. There is so much sh1t or bust in the mix here, with a fair few players in our squad who have not played in the Prem before. And as with 2 years ago, we are reliant on a number of very young players to come good for us pretty quickly (Dibling, Fernandes, Archer, Les Ugo, Harwood-Bellis, possibly Edwards). And we may yet be reliant on Ross Stewart's fitness. So many unknowns. | |

First, find a shape or a tactic that works with the players you have rather than trying to force those players into a style that is alien to them. Second, if the players are not good enough for that style, buy players that are. Between the inflexibility of RM and the economics of the club, I fear we are in a very uncomfortable place. | | | |
