Really, really disappointing but just backs up the point that the squad is too thin.
Missing 3 of our usual back 4 & 2 of our usual midfield 3 was always going to be tricky.
With that said, I'm surprised we lined up as we did or at least not change it up sooner, everyone could see what was coming.
Weird game. They've been the better team between the 2 boxes, we're far too open.
Thankfully:
A) Rushworth is class
B) They can't finish
C) They can't defend for shit
D) We have been clinical
The other point to this is, we all accept that players improve over time, yet the same courtesy is rarely afforded to managers. It's pretty obvious that Lampard has learned a lot & become a better manager now than before & he says as much himself.
My eyes tell me that Leicester & Hull deserved their point each but we've absolutely dominated everyone else.
Data backs that up too...
xG table says we should be 4pts clear.
Scored 22 (almost double anyone else in the league) & have +15 goal difference after 8 games. That's mental.
