We also haven’t had a single game with a preferred starting XI. How much have we seen a midfield of Partey, Odegaard, and Rice? A single half against City? Imagine how much ball progression alone would improve with the full team
Even if Havertz is the new preferred left 8, we still haven’t had a starting lineup that contains rice Havertz Ødegaard Martinelli Jesus saka (hopefully we see it today)
I mean the same can be said for every side. City have been missing the best midfielder in the league in De Bruyne, we’ve been missing probably our best midfielder in Thiago, Chelsea have been missing Nkunku, etc.

Our attack has taken a massive hit 😭
Would rather have this than the other way around. We’ll click eventually

Not to mention Timber who we had for all of one glorious half 🥲
