Weird. Our attacking Gabriels have been out injured for a few of those games as well and Saka's figures are decent, even if he isn't quite at his best. I'd say we are more solid than more defensive. I do think Tomiyasu instead of Zinchenko takes away a little bit in attack but we've played Havertz and Rice where Partey and Xhaka were last season - hardly more defensive.
And Trossard is a ****ing steal
