Amazing and welcome as it was the 55 season perfectly sums up the characteristics of our players over the last number of years. The unique situation with Covid allowed the players and staff to be cocooned from the outside world for the day to day of training and preparation and even more so for actual matches and this helped them develop a single mindedness to nail the league, helped also by the other lot imploding. Red flags were the two cup capitulations that were given a pass because of the league. While arguably overachieving in Europe and having a few other big results this group obviously can't hack the pressure of sustaining a league challenge in front of a live audience. As loads have already posted, this lot are only comfortable once they have blown their chances and the pressure is off, as per every year pre and post 55. Some of the newer players may yet have a chance but all of the old guard need shipped out. The technical ability of prospective new signings may have to come secondary to their leadership and motivational skills and I trust PC to be able to identify them. This cycle can't go on.
