Are you forgetting we sold possibly the best player in the history of the club in the summer? If you remember many pundits and fans alike thought we would be lucky to end the season in the top half as a result.
It’s funny because it’s almost a perfect squad for a Conte team.
Which should be celebrated. Having said that, we do still have a huge 30 goals a season hole in that squad.
No we don't. Richarlison has got some of those missing goals, as has Johnson, as has Son playing centrally more often. Just because Kane isn't around doesn't mean we're now playing with 10 men.
Yet everyone acknowledges we need significant investment in our front line.
But would we score more with him?
I agree. A proper DM to play this system is key, as is having backups for Porro and Udogie. If we can address that this summer i'll be quite happy.
Yea surely no-one 'prefers' EL to CL but some are choosing to see the positives and are just admitting that right now in our development under Ange it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world having EL next season.
I don't watch other teams play in games not involving us.
I don't agree. In my view we've won a number of games simply because the other team haven't taken chances, or where they've generally played better and not won, whereas I feel there have been far less occasions where we have lost when we should have won which would balance that out. Of course gaining points when not playing well (sometimes helped through sheer grit or determination) is a skill in itself and deserves praise.
Why not do both and have even more money to reinvest.
Including against us ?
Absolutely 100%
