But I also do agree with HCZ and you that the inability of the fullbacks to really get us countering is a real downer and something we really need to work on. Also it's clear Raya is not an upgrade to Ramsdale when it comes to actually making saves, so thats another self created headache we've made for ourselves.
I am quite happy that Arteta started with 2 DMs but currently IMO only a fit and on form Partey helps deal with a lot of the inadequacies caused by the poor attacking nous of our current fullbacks.
However if we'd signed players like Kudus and others we should've signed to fill that Xhaka role, it could have been a really really special season.
