WE ARE only three matches into the 2023-24 Premier League season so it is not time for clubs to hit the panic button yet.
Fans of Arsenal and Manchester United though have enjoyed an uncomfortable start to the season with neither starting as strongly as we might have expected.
It is perhaps expected that Arsenal would take a minute to really get going.
The signing of Declan Rice from West Ham, a great piece of business despite the price tag, will lead to them having to change the way that they bring the ball out from the back and the injury to Gabriel Jesus has disrupted their effectiveness in the final third.
United, on the other hand, entered the season with a sense of optimism with the club having seemingly recruited sensibly to fill gaps in their squad in terms of numbers and ability.
