quite a few big games coming between our rivals, Chelsea and Arse both playing dippers, also vs each other, and both playing vs Barcodes as well. Rags-Chelsea in there as well and its all before the next int. break around mid November. so its a much more busy period for rivals than for us (next 4-5 weeks), would be really beneficial not to drop a single point now vs mostly lower half sides.
we need to get our acts together in terms of our pace, defending, and just keep creating more chances with hopefully Foden finding his form from last season, Gundo also, and Kevin coming back and stays fit hopefully while winger starting to add more end product like Doku started just now. Rodri out still a big issue.
Foden did 19 G + 8 A last season which was his best ever and won the Player of the year for that rightly so, but is on 0+0 so far and almost 20% of the rounds are behind us of course he played little due to Euros and some illness, but its time to pick it up. he didnt miss many minutes of PL last season, he played 33 as starter and 2 as a sub sent on so it was only 3 games he did not feature at all. chances are those minutes will be less this season as he already almost missed as much as last season and he may get an injury later on, so his numbers from last season will be hard to replicate imo. if he comes close thats already good, but bit of a worry as Alvarez decent numbers are gone as well and Rodri had immense numbers for a number 6 too which also gone...
huge pressure now on Gundo, Foden, KDB to put this numbers back and we need Haaland to stay fit and firing all season and of course wingers pick it up and deliver goals and assists. I dont like Saka having 7 assist already from right wing which is the same as Savio, Bernardo, Grealish, Doku have together. we can do more from wings, and we will also need to return some of that end product that we sold or wont have due to injury. even the smaller KDB injuries are effecting us badly, he cannot stay fit to start 32-33 games for sure but if he could he is a player who could do 15 G+15A, not many players can do that but we are lucky if he can start 20-22 games. we really need to manage his minutes dont overplay him 3x in a row for 90 mins etc.
nice on Kova being on 3 goals already, did not expect him to add much at all given his track record in PL, but 3 goals in 7 rounds is nice (especially as they were crucial goals rather than scoring the 5th or 6th in a 6-1 win). would be fantastic if he can get close to 9-10.
