Could a simple explanation not be the attack is better with a better defence?
Weve a much more stable and balanced defence and midfield in the Europa giving a better platform to attack?
Torreira Amn and Willock is a better combination than most of our midfield in the league. Mobility and energy. Completely different from our slow as a turning bus midfield with Xhaka in there.
I might be being dramatic but Emery making Xhaka captain and basically a guaranteed starter could legitimately be his undoing here. The guys so clunky he basically needs a conservative partner next to him, while he also demands to be the deepest midfielder. Torreira holding + 2 high energy guys flanking him seems to be such and obviously better balance but I worry we'll only see it in cup games.
