Agree - but the biggest issue here is that he recognised this two years ago.

He talked about the power and athleticism necessary for the Premier League and then singularly failed to deliver it.

I hold him responsible but I do wonder how the conversations with Farke went. We're told that the latter asked for a Prem quality centre back and a CDM - and clearly didn't get them. But I wonder if was in any resistent to the broader 'slam in some muscle' mantra.

Total conjecture but just trying to find a way to somehow excuse at least some elements of Webber's pitiful year.
