You are definitely right about the team being stronger than we give ourselves credit for, probably why we're still top of the table carrying passengers like Havertz and now evidently Raya in every game.
But TBH even last season, we won so many points from losing positions...thus my comparison was more with last season than at any point in time.
I don't want to spoil the night (can't ,even if I wanted too after that goal), just putting it out their that the earlier Arteta solves the keeper and the the Xhaka hole, then hopefully we should be able to kickoff and see the kind of leap we saw from the 22 season to 23.... right now I still believe we are not as good as we were last year, just my opinion.
