Not a very good manager if his approach to squad building is signing a bunch of players who are exactly the same as one another, making tactical switches nigh impossible...

Pretty sure there's managers in the Vatican City Championship with just as impressive trophy hauls
Common sense, or admission that their squad is nowhere
near strong enough to deal with the demands of being a
UEFA regular PL club ??
Both.
Very few clubs bar City, Chelsea and Liverpool can seriously challenge on two fronts or more.
Winning the FA Cup cost Leicester a CL place last season imho.
(Personally would rather we won a trophy than got top 4).
I see Arsenal women (and men for all I know) are sponsored by Visit Rwanda. Tory stooges.
It's hardly new, either, given Everton under Moyes would routinely alternate between qualifying for Europe one season, battling relegation the next
Don't give the r/coys headbangers ideas, Emerson and Winks will be sent there faster than you can say "Wait, are the Tories arguing with the CofE now?"
The PL top 6 at the minimum usually can participate in UEFA
land to at least the last 16, while maintaining their position in the PL.
This is the transition that all aspiring clubs must make
(Spurs needed 4 seasons from 2006 to reach that point) .

What the **** is Schmeichel doing and why does the defender on the line just walk off?
Minimum Cornetto's penalty miss: https://streamgg.com/v/z1ayr3js
Twat. Stupid run-up that the ref probably should've booked him for, if he hadn't missed.

Can't work out whether that's a good point for West Ham, considering the results yesterday, or whether it's bad because it's Burnley at home, and they should have won with the chances they had.
Their remaining fixtures aren't too kind on paper, either. Chelsea, Arsenal, Norwich, Man City and Brighton, with the Frankfurt games sandwiched around the Chelsea and Arsenal games.
Europa League or bust?
I think Moyes will continue in the same manner that he's used so far.
Minimal changes where possible and hope that the reliable players can handle it.
Could be a tough couple of weeks, though. Apart from your lot, of course.
Exactly that I’d imagine.
They have a genuine chance of winning it, which I absolutely hate saying. Kudos to them though, they’ve approached it with the right mentality so far and really gone for it, if only we done it we’d have probably made some semis/ finals of it over the years, we’ve definitely had the quality to do so.
The decision will be made by default after the Chelsky game
(current PL 4-6 have some tough games before then) .
Really surprised they didn't rest players tbh. They ain't getting top four and have a great chance of at lest getting to the final.
A decent win, small loss and a win gets them a trophy and CL football. Wouldn't have been happy running players into the ground if we were in that position tbh
