One thing I can't stand is the constant hype of this team

[Peter]

I still think there are few issues:
1. Don't know best starting XI
2. Ramsdale is better than Raya, imo...or at worst, didn't deserve to be dropped.
3. MA isn't very good at subs, especially attacking ones

That said, on the whole there is a lot to be positive about.
1. We were very poor last night but still really should have had won
2. Beat City and we go top
3. International break which should give Saka some extra recovery time.

If we want to progress, we have to start making more intelligent decisions about shape, and about where and how we take risks in possession. We gift a staggeringly high proportion of the goals we concede through either basic errors in possession or being too easily cut open by simple balls forward.

We have to master the art of the early foul, the way City do. A simple shove or pull of the shirt before a counter attack even begins. City do this superbly, and subtly enough to avoid yellow cards.
