Every team will have issues with injuries but that is no excuse given the depth of the top teams in England and I think we would not be too far off the mark in saying Pep and Klopp are the best coaches running around in world football at the moment.Second miles behind first with other rivals having injury issues and in Chelsea's case also having poor manager for a large part of the season. Also, I give you that Ole, Carrick and McKenna might have some rudimentary understanding of footballing tactics but so would any intelligent player who's been involved in the game for so long. I'm not saying he's Ted Lasso but the quality gap between him and the likes of Pep, Klopp etc. is massive and there are plenty of managers who are better than Ole out there, managers with plans regarding how to play matches, conduct training sessions and building teams with identity. When I see us play I see a bunch of players who go out there to do their own thing and hope for the best, sorta like an international team. I'm a bit curious regarding why you think we're so average against against teams we should be blowing away on Paper? Everton the other day were missing a lot of key players but still went toe to toe with us and could've easily walked away with all 3 points. Whenever City and Liverpool drop points, there is mostly some sort of luck at play on other teams behalf but with us most games are 50/50.
I have no doubt that our midfield is not up to scratch at the moment and I am sure there will be some changes there inThe next summer window as you cannot build pressure with midfielders that cannot pass the ball or defend properly so that makes us susceptible to a team that is compact and is good at counter attacks.
