The problem has never been solely on the managers. The biggest issues lie with the owners and the board, whose lack of ambition and incompetence continue to hold this club back.

There’s something about the 20-assist PL record.
Last season, Salah had 11 assists by December but finished on 18.
In 2015/16, Ozil had 16 assists after 18 games and still ended on 19.
Lampard, Fabregas & De Bruyne all looked set to break it too, and none did.
I can assure you Bruno Fernandes isn’t breaking it 👍🏾
