Yeah, and Arsenal has been one of the best run clubs in the PL for a long time, financially, and look where it got them.

Good finances matters, but it doesnt guarantee good performances on the pitch.

Good finances are the bedrock of good performances on the pitch. Good performances are not guaranteed by all means but without good finances you can definitely forget about good performances on the pitch.

Plus, with your CL record in the last several years (whether deserved or not is an entirely different question) and winning the league last season one could definitely say that is good performance on the pitch.

Odegaard out again, not known for how long, but something with his left leg.

18th injury since mid September. Every year same shit.

In other news Carvajal and Ramos set to return for Gladbach.

Odegaard will be injury prone from now on, something about his previous injury.

So Jović scores a brace in UNL to keep Serbia up in their league, scores a goal to level it up vs Scotland, gets Coronavirus from his NT, out for 2 weeks and after the 2 weeks he's now out for another 2 weeks with an adductor injury.

I mean..

PS 19th injury and counting

At first I thought Odegaard had had 18 injuries since September. I thought he'd gone on a gotta catch 'em all STD run, Arthur style.

Worry not Wolfey, that Hazard - Jovic - Kubo frontline will be tearing La Liga to shreds next season.

First time in 13 years we score less than 100 goals in a calendar year, far cry from where it used to be, we used to score around 150.
Heck, in 2014 we scored 178, which is incredible and we cant expect to repeat that anytime soon, got to be close to some kind of record that one.

Also, its the first time Barca scores less than 100 as well in a long time.

Though, there has been less games in 2020, that plays a part.

Benzema has done okay, while he does have flaws, the problem is that he`s had no one else to work with in attack.
Bale decided to be a golfer, and the others in attack are youngsters.

Benzema at current level wouldn`t be a problem if there was another player who scored 30+ in attack, but there isn`t.

Far from consistent which is what the question was about.

Far from the main problem, but he is a problem. He's old and should be improved upon as a matter of 2nd priority since the only other main issues are RW and CB and we can't afford to fix everything at the same time. If we won't have money for Mbappe this summer, he could sign for us for free. Which means we should either give Jović the time investment or stop playing coy and go for Haaland while he's still undecided. But lobbying is worthless when nobody inside or outside the club is willing to make the move.

Perez has himself to blame for the shitter he puts us in by letting everyone get lulled into thinking we can just coast on Benzema's average seasons.
