David Jones

But, you know, you looked at last year, they ran out of steam, didn't they, towards the end of the season.

They didn't make Champions League.

So they have to be incredibly careful still.

But I do believe he's an elite coach, but he will need, definitely, that squad, as it is, is going to be running on empty very soon because of all the games they've got to play week in, week out.

And even last week in the FA Cup, they played Tottenham.

There was rumours that he was going to leave out half the team.

Next thing you know, it's pretty much his strongest team.

So you are playing every player to their maximum and sometimes they do need a rest.

Other managers will leave players out because they've played 120 minutes here or there.

He seems to be playing all of his players and I totally understand it, but they're going to need a bit of help with a bit of squad depth.

You go back a year ago when they managed to get Asensio in, they managed to get Rashford in, the loan system benefited them.

But they have had to, I don't want to use the phrase wheel and deal, but they have had to kind of be quite canny in how they build their, in particular, their forward lines each season.

That must be down to the rules.

It must be.

Yeah, of course, and I think if you look at it, it's the way that they've gone about their job.

They've gone the loan route.

They haven't been buying too many players, so you think that something is going on, something's happening in the background that we don't know about, that obviously Unai and the team are talking about, that the owners, the sporting director are talking about, that they're trying to change.

He's going to have to probably go into the loan market again, like we're saying, to finish in the Champions League position again.

You can see players already are starting to run out of steam.

They've got European football here as well.
