They're about to go through in the Europa league straight to the knockouts and still in pole position in the EFL Cup plus on track in the FA cup rounds. The only place they're struggling is the PL where results only depend on how the ref and VAR are feeling that day. Feel like the other competitions always get left out of these discussions

Of course Ange is part of the injury problem, but can't just fault him for the poor form when the club doesn't bring in reinforcements.

Yeah, that's basically the point of the article. That Postecoglu is under pressure as the manager, but the root cause of the problem is injuries and Levy not bringing in enough new players to add depth.

Injuries may be the reason they aren't performing, but it's on Ange and his team to avoid a crisis by moderating the intensity of the team.

They're in 3 competitions still while the new signings during the summer were young players without a ton of experience and not accustomed to having to play this often.
