Been away for a couple weeks and missed this but there's lots going on.
They've underwent a major overhaul and regardless of money spent, there will need to be some time for players to settle, learn new manager/teammates/system, etc. That and they've bought too many players tbh.
Injuries have been a big problem. That's not to say that other teams arent going through their own stuff but it isnt helping a young/inexperienced team. Big one was Nkunku. He was a huge part of preseason and the link between midfield and the forwards and I think Poch had a hard time figuring out plan B to start the season.
Underlying numbers have been pretty good so still a bit optimistic but they've got to start finishing the chances they're creating.
