and no adjustments have been made by Lamps to counter. I've been so bored watching the team possess the ball in their own half then move it forward on the wings, launch it into the middle (to the other team) and then slowly walk back as the other team scores. It is boring and uninspired and i think that's on the manager (as much as i love him).

Unless there's a toxic locker room culture caused by new players (which doesn't seem likely) there's just not a lot of argument that this year's squad is worse than last year's. And even if last year was a fluke, there's not a lot of argument that this year's squad is middle-of-the-pack in the EPL.
