Your thought have just made me wonder if the fact we had a squad which had finished below Arsenal two season’s running, had a new manager with limited experience of the bigger competitions, and with us having done so little meaningful business in the summer window contibuted to that?
If they bothered to do their due diligence they would have realised that at one point last season we were essentially out of full-backs. Injury-ravaged us still managed 82 points, enough to win the league this season.
Only an idiot wouldn’t realise that 2022-23 was a massive anomaly considering we’d hit 92 points the season before that.
Heck, if they don’t start picking up points they’ll only just about equal our 2022-23 season.
