✍️ We aren't getting bullied anymore. We have outdueled every single team we have faced this season in the league and outrun five of the seven teams we have faced. We are in solid physical shape this season. We have fixed our biggest issues from last season: poor athleticism and physicality. On top of that, we have tested ourselves against the most physical teams in the league, Arsenal and Brentford. It is unbelievable how Alonso sat down with the club and fixed most of our issues in one window, from experience to physicality, pace, and athleticism. It is an outstanding piece of work that is currently underrated. Give Alonso January and next summer and we will challenge for the Premier League next season. I don't want to be too optimistic, but I can't help it. Our summer market was hit after hit after hit. So, one thing is already certain: his player ID is top, he knows what he wants, and he is backed by the club, who will have more confidence in his ability in the market. I don’t expect him ro make many mistakes and will not need five windows to fix this squad. We are lucky to have Xabi.
