Run of fixture was sandwiched by trips to the North East, starting in Newcastle and Sunderland and ended with the injury to Gyokeres before the Sunderland game. Later compunded by the injury to Gabriel. Likely will not see the same 11 until 2026.

Against West Ham MØ came off in the 20th minute for Zubimendi which started a run of 4 league games which featured;

Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Eze, Rice, Trossard, Gyokeres, Saka

West Ham 2-0
Fulham 0-1
C Palace 1-0
Burnley 0-2

Scored: 6
Conceded: 0
Shot on Target: 1

This also why the eye test trumps not watching the game and relying on stats because had we scored all 3, Saka still would not have any g/a

The ability to overload the right flank and make one or two incisive passes through Rice/Odegaard and create a chance

The unbearable talent and gravitational pull of Bukayo Saka

Spot the difference (and its that we wore white and Trossard actually scored)

Saka had the best possible game in a 4-1 win you can have without registering g/a. Everything came down the right

10 players missing 10+ games including Saka, Havertz, White, Odegaard and Gabriel, 5 players who regularly started last season

But the narrative online is so different lol
