Not according to the chant

Thats what we said last year.

Brendan exiled Soyuncu and Vestergaard (who, to be fair, was pretty widely mocked by fans).

He insisted on playing Danny Ward in goal when he was absolutely gash.

He didn’t give Iheanacho enough of a shot up front.

Couple that with the fact that we basically unable to sign players for two windows. We signed average players onto long contracts when the going was good assuming that we’d have european football to pay for them. Then we goofed european qualification three years in a row (first to the CL, then the Europa, then to the Conference), so now we’ve got these terrible players (Daniel Amartey, Perez etc etc) on these big contracts and not the bucks to back them up, so there’s no space in the wage budget to bring anyone in.

Couple that with injuries and the Brendan exiles and suddenly we’re playing Ndidi in central defense (when Maresca is basically playing him as an attacking midfielder).

A lot of women’s teams just wouldn’t go, for a start.
