In shocking news, having a big goal difference is what actually matters rather than how many goals you score. See Liverpool in 13/14 for evidence of the latter. And Chelsea under Mourinho for the former.
Generally the league winners have a very solid defence complimented by at least a good goal scoring output. It’s a lot easier to win 1 or 2 nil every week than needing to score 4 or 5 because of issues at the back.
Arsenal currently have a solid defence but quite shaky at goalkeeper. Neither Raya or Ramsdale can fill anyone with confidence. Their goal scoring output is fairly average for the league despite the number of chances created. A top striker would in fact propel them to the next level.
Terrible headline and conclusion from the article.
I still think the inter-striker season that city had (after Aguero and before Haaland) saw them produce some of their finest football en route to the title.
No shit. It’s just 2 seasons since city famously won the title without a striker on their books playing false 9.
