It’s a big factor tbh. Watch any team that is utterly dominant in their league and it’s the game state in every single case. I’m not saying we’re a Celtic or Bayern in the PL, but that’s the end point to the sort of dominance we display. Opponents learn to respect you and dig in more and more.
We can all see there’s some things to sort out in attacking phases, but we’ve developed the best defensive unit itw IMO and it gives us a solid base to control things in a sustainable way while we tweak things and attackers continue to learn to work low blocks.
Your latter point is key here. Obviously it is fun when we get a new signing but I hear far too much about needing to sign Player X or Y if we are to improve our attack. We have a very young team who are continuing to learn. Not saying we won’t sign someone, but I expect to see a lot of our attacking issues resolve themselves just because we have a lot of players nowhere near their peaks.
