I'm afraid we won't be buying a CF in January. Maybe next summer if we can offload Jesus

Our squad is very very light. The injuries have exposed this. Its funny how we werent this injury hit when we still had Smith-Rowe, Nelsen and that Portuguese guy on our books.

ESR would've been useful this season.

4 CBs. 3 DMs and a false 9

So, unhappy with a forward line valued at €325m.

You've lost the plot.

For someone who put defence over attack, 91 goals is an unimaginable amount scored!

I remember when Wenger was defensive and we conceded 17 but scored just 59!!

In fact you have to go back to the early 60s for the last time we scored more than the 88 we scored 2 seasons ago (and that was 42 games)...

Spot on! Think we scored 4 less goals over the course of the season than City last year and had multiple people in double figures. Certainly wasn't the reason we failed to win the league.

Similarly not really sure who's available that would do a better job then Harvetz at the moment? Let's also not forget that, playing as a striker in the Premier League, Havertz also has 20 goal contributions in 22 games (12 goals and 8 assists).

What I would say is that our tendency to sit back after going in front of games, when we should be putting teams away is a worry. Second half against Liverpool is the perfect example of this. Regardless of personel, it was a completely different performance to the first half.

We are tending to shut up shop at 1 goal ahead and end up paying for it
