Caporegime
I think its safe to say this season hasn't gone as well as Mourinho expected but at the same time I don't think we have done that badly considering.
We create a lot of chances, we just love to miss them. Thats usually an easy-ish problem to sort out if you have money.
We have struggled all season to keep any sort of defence fit yet we still have a decent defensive record. Most of the season we have been missing at leasts a full defence worth of probably first choice defenders.
Zlatan got injured at the wrong time for us to think about hitting top 4. It was already a big ask and that really shut it down.
I think Mourinho hasn't known whether to stick or twist with our priorities this season either. The EL was not a high priority until we looked like missing out on top 4 and it was potentially our best route into the CL. Then we have had a few months of both being equally important but kind of having to try and keep both going half heartedly.
This summer will be a big indicator of what kind of football Mourinho wants to play and who he wants to keep. I think a good number of players will be pushed out and 3-4 brought in.
Fellaini is not a Mourinho player despite his game time this season. He has been a tool that has found a space in the team because other better options were not available but he doesn't do anything well enough to be a regular starter when we have the players Mourinho wants.
I'm also a fan of Romero. He has been brilliant 99% of the time whenever he has played. As a backup keeper I don't think we could do any better. As first choice I don't think he would be horrendous. Hopefully DDG stays but that seems unlikely.
