You think they’ve gone backwards because you’re comparing their normal level to the best you’ve ever seen them play so you could come to the same conclusion doing that for any player in the world. Players like Holgate and Davies just aren’t very good and never have been so them having a good spell every now and again doesn’t and never did change that.There’s a few like DCL Gordon Godfrey Docuoure who I think work on their game to improve it. Probably Pickford also in fairness after that massive dip in form he had. The rest I just don’t see it. Even Richarlison is nowhere near the player who started on his debut against Wolves and did that Henry finish first time like it was nothing to him. I wouldn’t put a single pound on him doing that in the same position now.
Digne massive regression
Davies huge regression
Iwobi getting worse
Gomes regressed hugely (could be the injury)
Keane is not the player he was in Carlo’s first half season
Holgate massive slump
Even Townsend looks worse and he’s only been here a few months
