Not sure what this proves tho You are saying we are considerably worse than last season despite statistically being similar?
We can’t play the same way as we did last year because teams play differently against us and because it’s not sustainable to play high octane football with Champions League mid week when we have numerous key players who are susceptible to injuries. If you want an example of what happens when you play like that look no further than Newcastle - not a bad start to the season but tons of injuries and a considerable drop off is likely
we were still facing deep blocks last season, that is simply not true. and i’m curious, is arsenal the only team you watch? how is playing “high octane football” with ucl only a problem for us? how is freeing up the wingers going to injury anybody? shit and chelsea got no europe and they still got injuries while trying to play high octane football. this sub changes the narrative every week i swear. when our players get breaks and only play 1 game a week it’s “they’re rusty and out of form” but when they play 2 games a week now they might get injured. should we wrap them in bubble wraps as well?
these excuses are for midtable clubs. world class teams have been doing this for decades. you can’t control injuries. tierney literally slipped in the shower and partey gets injured while doing nothing. if you really think that ucl football and being scared of injuries is stopping us from playing fluid you need to watch more football.
