The odd mention of a squad 'overhaul' does make me laugh, though. Not long ago, we nearly took one of the best teams in Europe to extra time in the QF's of the Champions League, we don't need a whole new XI. On the whole we have the players to play exciting, front footed football, which is why it is baffling at this stage that we're not always going for it. Only Emery can answer this.

‘Nearly’ VS actual. We nearly went through against PSG. We nearly went through VS Olympiakos. We were in the semi final against bottom half EPL Palance. We achieved none of the goals here so yes, we do need an overhaul. Why would we not?

We need fine tuning, not an overhaul.

Too many losers. We don’t have a killer instinct or winners mentality enough.

We need an overhaul about as much as we needed someone trying to snooker all the threads tonight. I can smell the 'pashun' from here.

I do notice we get worse when FV doesn't post, now you mention that.

I’m just really angry and really frustrated and just really struggling on how to deal with it. I’m sorry if it comes across in a bad way. I’m just so dejected.

Three or four players in, three or four players out.

Three or four players in, three or four players out.

Sure, it you mean the squad as it is today - but three of those "outs" will likely be us replacing Asensio, Disasi and Rashford.

I don't think events are going to allow us to fine tune. Certain players are going to want to leave and play champions league football, certain players are coming to the end of their contracts and certain players are too expensive to sign on Conference league finances.

In a perfect world we'd keep nearly everyone and add a couple but I really can't see that happening. I think this was the last hurrah for this group of players and they've come up just short.
