I'm too young to be this nostalgic

The players:

hm... i would say, to explain our current form, that there's more complexity to our current issues? but admittedly i did not get the chance to watch our match against man city yesterday.

to name one player who is in form imo, that would be de ligt, who i think is also amazing, excellent, a miraculous signing etc

i think it's a bit of both? i don't really know what problem you're referring to, unless you mean just the general issue of us fucking flopping the last few matches or our vaguely inconsistent form prior to nagelsmann's sacking as well?

i think yes, most of our players are not in great form, which then makes it harder for us to get into the groove of things together as team. i know upa had his howlers yesterday but generally i feel better about our squad defensively than i did say several seasons ago

it's really our attack that's been the bigger issue imo? serge, god bless him, well... obviously not in form. i know leroy is controversial in the wider fanbase but god at least he fucking tries and you can see that, even if he gets very visibly frustrated. and of course, i think he is very talented (even if he's not always the most consistent) there was a brief time when coman was obviously our best winger earlier this season as well. jamal's not been looking super great lately, maybe since that last injury (poor memory, sorry) but i'm not super super mad about it since he's very young. mané ... haha. well, to be super honest, i was never really enamored with him? i think there's a lot of affection for him carrying over from his pl days... i just think that if he didn't have his past achievements, people would be farrrr more critical of how incapable he was of scoring an onside goal for ages lol. it honestly irritated me a bit. like yes, it's funny! but also you're a fucking experienced striker. holy shit. he's basically useless imo and does not contribute. choupo come back. please. hurry. i beg. thomas is like beloved royalty but even then of course he disappears from time to time... he's not going to save us every single match.

and of course our midfield has long been an issue lol

personally, i think nagelsmann was doing the best with what he had at the time. certainly there were times when i didn't think he made the right tactical decisions but very generally speaking, i don't think our major failures were always because or related to him.
