Okay we haven't won in 5. Not like this hasn't happened before....
Last season we went 6 without a win twice.
22/23 Season it happened once
21/22 we went 13 without a win and then 5 defeats in a row before a draw.
20/21 we went 6, 9 and 5 without a win
19/20 we went 6 games and 9 games winless
18/19 we went 5, 7 and 9 winless
17/18 we went 7, 6 and 6 winless
This is why I'm not blaming Fab. Okay we've struggled against a load of dross but it's not like we haven't had the chances to put away these games (something we've also said before, and for a few years now). And the early season performances, and the away games at the likes of Newcastle and Bournemouth show there's something to work with.
It's just what this team do. Im not 100 sure our defence has ever been that good at defending, or mentally strong since Duffy left.
I'm not overly concerned, yes it's annoying of course. We spent a lot of money on building up the squad because we had to, on players (and a manager) new to the league and English football, and of course it's going to take a bit of time. And as mentioned above, some of that money really should have gone on a defence.
What I will say as a positive (sort of) is look at how inconsistent and infuriating Chelsea were last season, up until when they started getting their shit together the last quarter of the season, and how they've kicked on this season. I'm really not praising them, just using them as an example of how long it can take for a team to gel with new players all over the place.
