I didn't word it proper:
Take all the top 10* teams of all the top 5 European leagues, BR was the only not to see the need for a destroyer/defensive minded (Wanyama-esque) type of player yet ends up using Lucas EVERY game having tried to sell him and not looking for a replacement in the whole of his tenure. His tackling stats will surprise many.
But this glaring omission is what makes our midfield unresolved/unbalanced/soft as a dunked biscuit IMO.- It might be the top 5 teams
- It might be the top 5 teams

But you are ignoring the last bloke, whom despite ending last season horribly including shipping 6 against Stoke and a 3-1 loss to Palace at the end was allowed to carry on spending including £32.5M on Benteke into his fourth year. He's gone because the team looked no better structured than the day he first rocked up.
"Judge me after 3 years":
Where the filosofy, BR?
Back 3 or 4?
You wanna sell Lucas (again) yet one injury elsewhere and he's played every game this season....all despite BR being the only manager of a top 10 european club of the major football nations that doesn't deem a defensively minded midfielder worthy.
Who is supplying Benteke's crossed now you've allowed Markovic (here for just a season) 50% of our wingers to go on loan?
There is so so much more but I don't wanna use bandwidth here bangin on about the past
:-P
