Looking back at where we were when Gerrard took over, you have to admire how well he rebuilt the team. He was given cash, but no where near how much Ange has been provided, he got in some solid/reliable players (Davis, McGregor, afield, goldson, even Flanagan).. Knowing first and foremost we would be hard to beat, and he managed to gel them with the talent we had to make us better as a collective.
Across the city, they've splashed the cash, but honestly seem to have no actual plan on how they actually want to play. Jota and kyogo look like decent players, but like when Warburton tried to jam in Barton, windass, senderos, kranjar .. you might get a few decent performances, but to do it week in week, week out is difficult.
We now find ourselves are going through a mini rebuild, trying to fit in new players and freshen the squad with the threat of losing a few top performers. We are taking a bit of a hit on the footballing side, but now seeing lundstrum step up, you can maybe see why he might be a decent replacement for Davis longer term.
Trying to be patient myself, hopefully the likes of Bacunna/wright/fashion can also grow and we can move through this period undamaged.
