Post-lockdown we started with blowing everyone away with our array of attacking players. Then we lost steam as the teams started adjusting and pressing our CBs and Matic + Pogba. Plus we looked unidimensional in attack with too much reliance on either penalties or neat interplay between the front 4. We did have quite a few not so good performances at the end of the season.Of course, every team has games when they look poor and cannot break down and beat the opposition. I just don't think this is something we're experiencing any more than the top clubs do.
Why I am now optimistic is that Matic+Pogba midfield 2 has probably been binned by Ole for good. Fred and Mctominay have looked good in dominating the midfield and that's a good sign. Further, by getting VDB, Cavani and Telles we have got ourselves Plan B and C in attack, and if it all works out, we should probably be able to score a couple of goals against your run of the mill PL teams. And while Maguire and Lindelof look like they are getting their confidence back, Axel may be a surprise addition that can be very valuable to the team. All in all very encouraging last couple of games I would say.
