In a relatively similar vein, I have also been left impressed this season with how the team have been able to draw or win games (away ones too) when 3+ starters are having stinkers. Just as soon as I feel emboldened by this team's prospects if it consistently carried 1-2 less passengers I am little worried about the sick notes.
Rice's game is demanding and this club should have the capability to rest him without experiencing a huge fall in quality and there has hardly been a week where that option has been available. Ødegaard looks mentally taxed and we lack a single alternative creator that is firing. I've not been very convinced by anyone thats played RW when Saka isn't. Jesus and Partey played a big role for me in the letting the title slip away in those final months. Definitely need a Jan boost if we're serious about our season targets.
