I think our solution to the gundogan and Mahrez exits has ultimately not been sufficient. We signed a left winger to replace the right winger Mahrez meaning one of bernardo/Phil has to play right wing every week taking whoever it is out of the midfield rotation, and Gundo has mostly been replaced by striker who doesn't understand the position. There's a quality deficit there even without the long term injuries to key players like de bruyne/stones/haaland. If you add haaland's poor season on top of that, we're in a pretty good position for how we've played IMO. But we have weaknesses we didn't have last year that may ultimately cost us, but they also might not.
