I mean, West Ham's last 2 wins came against us and Liverpool.

City 17 goals in the last 3 PL games. 

City - without a striker - scoring more goals than us - with strikers. 🙃

Another team suddenly having COVID cases after playing us recently - Leeds, Everton, Wolves.

Tbh we also played a lot without one. Lukaku and Werner are the only ones in the squad.

But they don't have one, period. 

We have those 2 plus Havertz, who Tuchel considers as a #9.

Arsenal in good form.

I hope for once these guys can turn up against a top side and nick points off them. Home game too, so no excuses.

I'd count Jesus as a number 9.

I would too but then Guardiola has been playing him on the RW as well.

Pep plays players in positions no other manager does

his brain is at a different level

and he is a gambler, a big one

Well, Tuchel does that a bit too but to not great effect.

we simply are not even close to the attacking talent Citeh, Bayern, and Pool (albeit less depth than those other two) have

PSG should be there, but they have injuries and I am not convinced on Poch

no one else does

RM is a really a solid team BUT they have such little depth up front,

take away Vinicius and especially Benz (the single most important one player to a team on the planet), they are FUCKED

 

Manure looks super on paper, but in practice they have been a mess

Kinda disagree. On paper, we have the talent to rival those teams but on the pitch, for one reason or another, they aren't performing to a high level that they can or should be.
