You read my post on individual player's goals tally. I knew someone was listening
I agree and this is the problem in a nutshell.
Lennon, Deulofeu and Mirallas are all around the same level. So are Cleverly, Besic and McCarthy. Besic and Deulofeu certainly have potential but it's a bit unknown just how much at this stage. Right now we haven't greatly improved as a 1st 11. What we have done is made us more resilient to injuries. How that will improve our league position I'm not sure with the teams around us strengthening.
That said. Utd and Spurs have had a bit of a nightmare window so Top 4 is still very much possible. I like our team and squad - we are in that fight but bloody hell where could we have finished if we got Yarmolenko.
The first step if we are to finish higher than 4th is to move Barkley back when at home against easier teams. Then we might just have enough goals in us.
