    The thing with a young squad is it’s not guaranteed that there will be a continuous improvement over time. In our squad, compared to last year, the only one who has shown reasonable improvement has been Saliba. Maybe Big Gabi at a push.The rest have stagnated or regressed. But yet we are joint 2nd in the PL. That can be explained by a couple of things

    1)The inclusion of one Declan Rice, who in my biased view has been the player of the season so far in the PL.

    1. The defence( excluding the GK) has been pretty good. The mistakes are a lot lesser compared to last season.

    So what clearly, needs to improve is everyone playing in front of Rice. There seems a lack of cohesion between the forward line. Probably, with everyone fit now, that will happen in a couple of weeks.
