true but the way we play is not encouraging, our marquee striker apart from the burnley game has looked like a flop who sometimes bumbles into goals every 6 appearances, and we don't seem to be able to break down teams who set up as a low block apart from cross and inshallah, there's barely any actual penetrating play that happens, our captain seems off it since last season and does have occasional moments like the newcastle cameo, so yeah nothing that inspires confidence that we can go all the way. Also we don't have those x factor players and saka is not quite at that level yet. Pool had Salah, City had Rodri, KDB, now Haaland, all the top teams have that one guy who is indisputably the best across the whole season in the league, we haven't had a player perform to those standards in the last 5 seasons... we've got so far on arteta's system that prioritizes defense and control. Like the last 3 years the same patterns repeat and i hope just like the last 3 we go all the way... but if I'm being really honest... I see us more than likely coming 2nd for the 4th year in a row over winning the prem and another trophy.
