The worst thing is the lack of ambition. The players recognize that we've sold our talisman without even trying to replace him. Bad psychology. Virgil was a given since months ago, so he's not going to be that player . Neither Lallana or Oxlade will be replacements for Lil'Phil. The gap in quality isn't exactly narrow. I think we'll have a good run for fourth. But we needed someone dead good, and we won't get anyone. No show of intent. Lallana is hysterically frustrating, being a world beater and a Conference league player within minutes of each other. Woodburn.... throw him in the mix!
