It is the beginning of December and we are three points off the top, and it is easy to believe that our team is only going to get better.
Thus far our season has been a combination of getting results while also acclimating new players and learning how to play a completely different attack. Our team had a lot of questions coming into the season, and thus far we've answered them pretty well.
Mustafi has settled in perfectly, Walcott has been performing well at RW, Alexis is becoming a better CF with every match, and Özil has already scored 8 goals.
Our midfield has struggled a little bit, but has been nothing close to our midfield struggles in previous seasons. Previously, our midfield could cost us goals, and that is no longer the case. Now we just need them to create more goals in the absence of Cazorla, and the emergence of Xhaka indicates that more goals could be on the way.
We have a solid defensive foundation with a lot of depth, too.
Additionally, the more Alexis develops the better our attack will get, and we have plenty of attacking options. Ox looks like he is turning a corner and has already scored 6 goals. Also, Ox's form means that we aren't too reliant on Iwobi because we don't need to put too much pressure on such a young player.
Also, Welbeck will be coming back in the new year, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas had a big impact in the second half of the season. He's still learning the league and his teammates, and that is while the whole team is getting used to a new look attack.
There is just a lot of evidence that our squad is going to get better, and this is exciting.
