The season will be fractured by second and third wave lockdowns and in those circumstances I find it a bit hard to get excited. But all things being equal we have some way to go to add the relentless physicality and chance conversion we will need to catch Liverpool.
Feels like we are going to need new style and tactics. Tippy tappying it around and hoping a lone little striker will eventually convert something while praying our defence learns to deal with long balls isn’t going to cut it. I’m afraid COVID lockdowns will get in the way of this retooling.
But if anyone can come up with it, Pep is the man. Might take two seasons.
