minus-squareSanguinePar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days agoI think “easily stumbles” is harsh. In the FA Cup they played a weakened side - too weakened, and that was a mistake, but it wasn’t like the first team lost. In the CL they took an awesome-looking PSG to ET and penalties. And yesterday, they were crap, but very obviously knackered after the aforementioned midweek PSG game. Spread too thin I think, a few more recruits in midfield and defence last summer would have helped.
