Overall I agree with you, however you have to remember we lost our best defender Thiago, will propably lose our second (IMHO) best defender Trevor (who is average but bar is low). There is also huge chance we will lose our most reliable (in terms of health) player in Gallagher. So it's not like this is the same squad as last year, and we are betting on some players to remain fit and others (looking at you CBs) to step up.
