I'm surprised that this third year only kicked in after promotion. It shows that Rudkin is capable of at least some consideration and planning for a future where everything isn't fine and dandy. It's like watching a video of a chimpanzee, painting a rainbow. He's accomplished the exact opposite of what he was trying to achieve and the details are all wrong but you're still impressed by the effort.
I'm not disputing the importance of mentality and psychology. Our greatest ever season would never have happened if our players didn't have such a strong mentality. I'm arguing that, bar one notable exception, this squad is dog piss and it irks me that so many people (mostly people that don't watch us regularly) think otherwise.
I'm not having it. Outside of a couple of anomalies, we haven't looked competitive against anyone this season and all difference makers from the league winning season are long gone.
Vestergaard, Winks, Ricardo and Mavididi have all massively declined for various reasons. They can't still be judged on what they did 2-3 years ago.
This myth still gets peddled.
If these players were 10% as good as they think they are, we'd be comfortably mid table. If they were as good as they think they are, we'd have multiple Ballon D'or winners in the team.
If they were going for the slowest defence ever in a Championship match, they should have wheeled out Huth, Morgan and Konchesky instead of that rabble. At least they'd have a chance of winning a tackle or a header.
No one will be able to convince me that mortgaging our future PL TV money when we were already on incredibly shaky ground (and playing shit), wasn't akin to putting your house on a 20/1 shot. But if you put together a board of yes men, there's no one to speak up about this.
