Some of our biggest problems this season we are starting to solve slowly.
GK - Petrovic replacing Sanchez has been massive. But it is not good look on Poch that injury needed to happen for this to change.
Now Chilwell is back so that should solve or LB issues. But again with Poch you never know?
We have been much better team with Gusto as well.
MF is not balanced. This is the problem. Caicedo cannot cover solo as 6 for Enzo and Conor to deliver as 8s.
Lavia saying his inspirations are Busquets and Fernandinho is positive because this is exactly what we need. But he is injured.
Attack again, Nkunku being out has played big part in our results. We got Palmer who is one of the best wingers in the league so far.
Mudryk and Madueke are growing so lets see. It takes time with young players. We need to wait and see this second part of the season with hopefully fit Lavia and Nkunku who are now only important missing players.
Gusto is better than James, Cucu and Sanchez not playing is good for us as well and Fofana is forgotten so that is why we bought Disasi.
I dont think saying finishing 7th this season is overachievement in current conditions.
Lets finish strong in January. We can get that 7th place and reach League Cup final and last 16 in Fa Cup. And grow from there with hopefully fit squad.
We need striker for sure so this is where our summer budget needs to go mostly.
