Anyone else just not seeing any signs of optimism for the rest of 2023?
Poch evidently got rattled after Nkunku's injury, and has thrown away everything he built on in preseason. He's following in his predecessors footsteps in always fielding more than 4 defenders (even against relegation clubs and at home) and the team now shows the same disjointed attacking play we saw under Potter. We are failing to beat sides in what is our easy fixture schedule, and yet we still have Spurs, Arsenal, Brighton, United, City, and Newcastle waiting for us in November/December.
Truth be told I'm already fearing the worse and a defeat here will cement that.
