I know we all moan in the matchday thread. Apparently that’s what it’s there for….. but,
Dare I say it, yes we are rusty, yes perhaps we seem sloppy, but there is not a helluva lot wrong with our game. We are playing some beautiful tight space football.
We are bedding in some fabulous purchases. And the likes of Gomez and especially Alvarez who is starting to really shine, are taking their chance with relish.
I said after the West Ham game that we look like we are playing at a pace where we are nursing ourselves into things, bearing in mind we are going for a quadruple this year. It’s like we know how long the season is and we are just doing enough to win these games.
But some of the football we are playing is astounding even for this time in the season.
Honestly, when we do click and start finishing everything we start then I don’t care who you put in front of us. It must scare the league watching our development with key players out injured.
I think we’re miles ahead of this time last year.
