We are currently on course for 6th position, what's worse is, on the basis of our performances we are even not even worthy of 6th position this season. Performances wise, we are actually 7 to 10 points better than what we deserve.
Any other team than Everton on Saturday, that was either a draw or a loss for us. Similarly Villa away, Wolves home, Brentford home (just on top of my head). All these matches where on the basis of our performances we should not have won. Eventually these results catch up in a league campaign.
The most concerning thing is, even at home against poor sides we are not able to impose our football and end up defending deep and countering them. What happened to wave after waves of attacks and suffocating the lower table away teams in their own half. We are just very open and concede way too many chances.
It would be somewhat acceptable if attacking wise we were free goal scoring side, so you can probably say we will concede 2 but score 4 anyway. But on the other side, we are actually shit in front of goal, we need 4 to 5 chances to score and we hardly create any chances, therefore this is a recipe for disaster and against any half decent side this will come unstuck similar to Fulham.
Hopefully we get another manager and reiterate them the standards at the time of appointment that instill possession based, free flowing attacking football and the renowned recruitment specialists and CEOs and what not we are hiring are hopefully able to pick up value signings, free agents, last year contract and helps us to overhaul the side within FPP limit, which is badly needed.
Any team that is hoping to play possession based attacking football the likes of Varane, Casemiro, Bruno and Rashford should not be part of that team. Plus also try to sell Antony and Sancho, make a decision on Greenwood..
Next season what we should hope to achieve is home games we should dominate and play attacking positive football, whereas against top sides away, we should atleast compete overall and not fold so meekly like we do now.
