Absolutely this. We got very unlucky, in the space of that one mad game against Chelsea, where we lost the all the key, new and improved players. Maddison, VDV, Romero, Udogie... and then later Sarr. Without that, we'd have battered Chelsea, we'd have certainly battered Wolves, and everyone else since then. And we'd be miles out ahead of the Gooners.We should’ve built the statue the second we saw Dier off the team sheet.
If that Romero red and VDV injury hadn’t happened I honestly believe we would be top now by some margin. What a transformation.
It would be the biggest crime in football history if the board doesn’t back him in January. Not expecting the world, but give the man some extra tools that’ll tide us over until the summer. There is no other option.
I'm hoping it balances out over the season, as Fergie used to say.
