The second half of the season wasn’t attributable to the goalscoring runs players like Havertz and Trossard went on.


But yeah overall I don’t think we are significantly worse than we were between August and December 2023. The disappointment lies in that we have been unable to replicate the league form we had between January and May of this year
I'm not arguing with that but I do think injuries, fatigue and ridiculous cards really do have to be taken into account this season, but perhaps only in that they've exposed fundamemtal weaknesses when because of those things, every sinfle point is now vital but we're still dropping way too many
