I know I mentioned Wagners presser yesterday.

It was actually really good apart from the Steiner math.

Some interesting notes.

Highly praised Webber for the job building the squad and noted that part of the remit was that before building anything they had to be net positive 20M in transfers.
(so essentially sell some of your best players before bringing anyone in on a budget)
Which is what we did with Max and Andy O.
Also never mentioned Knapper at all!
Am I the only one who found that a bit strange.

Made an interesting quote near the end where he admitted they didn't have the best squad but might have the best team.
To be fair, might be something in that with our vast nonperformance when we had injuries to our best players.
Anyone looking at our bench can see we are super thin.
With 5 subs (6 if you fake a concussion!) having a deep squad is vital as everyone has injuries and suspensions in the champs. The ability to cover and pick up points during rough patches is what separates the top 4 from the likes of us.
