I think again people misremember and when they think of last season they think exclusively of the second half

We failed to close out leads against Fulham twice and Spurs and Liverpool, we conceded three goals against Luton for heaven’s sake.

First 20 games? Conceded 20 goals. Not only that but we had Raya who was atrocious at the time

If people argued, “well after the 18 game run from January to May, I’d have thought we had shaken off the problems that made us look a bit shit in the first half of that season”. I’d have sympathy for that view, I’d hoped the same myself.

But to suggest that we are worse than we were in the first half of last season, I have to say it’s just inaccurate
