I feel FSG has not fully address this.

I remember watching us in pre-season at the National Stadium. We had lost Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Keita, Oxlade Chamberlain. Our regular midfielders left from last season are youngsters Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot. We also lost a senior striker who can play as an attacking midfielder in Firmino. Absolutely no idea then how our midfield will be for this season. I think we are over-achieving this season for a team that made so many changes. Every other team has lost more than us this season.
We have only lost twice in the EPL. One of the losses was that unjustified loss to Spurs where the VAR referee went to sleep. Given that we also have our fair share of mid to long term injuries this season (Alison, TAA, Matip, Jota, Robertson, Tsimikas, Curtis Jones, Gravenbech), it's amazing we won a cup and have a chance to win the league with 7 games remaining. Remember we sent in our kids in the league cup final against Chelsea.
At the start of this season, I thought this will be a season of transition given we lost all our experienced midfield players. Thiago is still around but he is like Keita from the past few seasons. Almost non-existent. Sadly next season will be a transitional season too.
