We’re 11-4-3 in all comps this year which includes a Community Shield, one loss in each competition, top of our CL group by 4 points after 4 matches, out of the carabao cup, have already beaten City twice, and are 4th in the table within 3 of City.
It’s obvious we’ve regressed in attacking potency a bit since last year’s first half of the season but if this ^^^^^^^ is a regression then we’re still in great shape. We can all ask questions of our team, our tactics, and our lineups, but I don’t think it’s all doom & gloom. We’re poised to do very well in all competitions and I don’t have that same “what if we face Bayern or Real in the knockouts” fear that I did when Wenger was topping CL groups with woefully inadequate squads. Chins up, everyone.
I feel the way we control games now and the attack being better in the CL, I can see us going far in it.
I’ll take a great defense over a great attack anyday, SAF said that defense is what you need to win you titles.
I feel we’ve been phenomenal, the difference is really our early goals last season that allowed us to have a more open game. I do feel like we have less creativity but it is too early to tell, odegaard had 2 awful games and then injured.
Plus 2 of those losses were the type of games that happen every now and then. Newcastle had like no attempts before their scrappy goal. And the OG against west ham was really unfortunate. In both those games you could see the lack of creativity to break those teams down, but i feel it also happened last season, we just simply managed to score early and the game wasnt so closed afterwards.
