OP, I know youre deadset on stopping anyone pushing the “Mitrovic Left” narrative, but its spot on. We have major other problems, that Mitrovic leaving has exposed.
We offer nothing going forward, and no creativity in the attacking midfield. Pereira has fallen off, Willian got his contract so hes fallen off (exactly what an mate of mine whos an Arsenal fan said would happen), and Bobby Reid is being his same consistent self (not crap, not amazing). Then our full backs, Castagne is great, but Robinson cant cross. What are we supposed to do.
We also have defensive errors to the nine. Weve ALWAYS had defensive errors, even in the Champ, but having a striker that scores for fun just deletes them. Our shit defence never mattered in the Champ, because we’d just score more and be done. In the Prem it did matter, and last season we’d still just score more. (Sidenote the only season we did have a good defence was the season where the “next england manager” refused to play Mitro, and we went down cause of it).
Were having the same problem Man United had with Fergie, he was so dominant for the club that him leaving has shined a light on every issue we had. People were talking about our “underlying numbers” last year as well, this year its all caught up to us…
