I don't see how Aspi or Alonso fit in but I think as it stands Sarri sees them as his best options. That will change given time - IT HAS TO CHANGE - without sentiment towards Aspi in particular.

I see lads that can do it one day and not the next...cup mentality as I suggested earlier. It's frustrating seeing the Spurs game and then the Southampton game after that. One that hit high performance and then the low. They may be winners but I don't see title winners regarding mentality.

Re Higuain, I have no idea whether this is good or not tbh. I think it's a stop-gap to get us to the summer and shifting Morata out. I doubt very much Sarri has Higuain in mind for the long term number 1 striker. Perhaps a well-paid part-timer winding down the years topping his pension up.

I think in many areas we agree. It's who we look at to blame where we differ. I wanted Jose and Conte gone because performances and attitude were poor. They have gone but still, the problem remains where we see performance extremes. The major problem (for me now) is we're too quick to want sackings so on this occasion I want to see a new way...back the manager with money and let him bring in his key players. The board have a cup mentality too and that is where the real problem is. If it's not right at the top it won't be right at the bottom.
