cannot see how this Rodri thing doesnt mean we end up on less points than with him. at least imo 5 points which already can be too much.
will be a brutal hard title race now and close too. we need both Arse and dippers drop unexpected points, and have Spurs, rags, Chelsea Villa, Barcodes have a real go at them.
Arsenal going to big away games and scoring corners and not losing is something cannot continue. quite bad they didnt lose any of Spurs, Atalanta, City games despite being on the backfoot in all three.
up to Pep to make it work, not much help he got from transfer window, but this is only on us, net spend trophy is there, still find it crap as if Barca doesnt surprise Gundo with dropping him like that he would even think of returnng and then I dont know if we even sign anyone for midfield.
will be livid if this Slot guy turns up and delivers 85p+ in his first season after something supposed to be bit of hangover from Klopps time and transition period and all that.
(also their transfer window was shit)
Arse is more dangerous, they got closer 2 times, their hunger is growing but maybe not the mentality but very hard to beat them, hence we didnt beat them in last 4 meetings. would it surprise me for them to reach 87-88? not really if they avoid big injuries to Rice, Saka and their CB duo. its sick that these guys can start 37-38 games a PL season with some more cup and CL games and never injured. and Merino yet to be adding some extra depth etc.
we have all the experience, but squad imo needed bit of extra energy, bit of shake up, some better options for Rodri and Haaland particularly and last thing we needed is this Rodri injury long term.
dropping points in lesser games now we really need to keep to a minimum. like home and away to Everton, Forest, all promoted clubs, Wolves etc.
