It wasn't great for the most part, but it was certainly better than it is now.Originally Posted by Pearcey3
Oddly enough, the sixth game of that season was also against Fulham and also ended 1-1, but that one was at Craven Cottage. The point kept City top of the table. They were still unbeaten and had twice as many points as they do now.
I think there are some key differences between the 2017/18 squad and the current one. For instance, Bamba was a mainstay of that side. He's currently out injured and it has to be doubtful that he will have quite the same influence when he eventually returns. Hoilett started 44 games and scored 9 goals in 2017/18. He now looks like an impact sub at best. Morrison was a commanding presence at the back. He looks far less steady this season. Manga was a regular in defence. He's gone and his pace is being missed. Zohore was in and out of form, but usually looked more of a handful for Championship defences than Glatzel does. Brayson and Gunnarsson both looked more useful in midfield than Bacuna generally does.
