Apparently it’s Garnacho brother
G*ldbridge alluded to it being someone else.
I know he wasn’t all they had (Mateta was on fire and Eze was great too), but 16 g/a in 19 games is no joke for any player.
Looking at this purely statistically, he came back vs City on 06/04/24, they lost that game, and then went unbeaten for the rest of the season. Added - they won 5 games without him and 8 games with him over the season.
Maybe they were over performing? They also sold Andersen in the summer and Wharton hasn’t continued from where he was either. It’s a lot of things, but I do think Olise was crucial for them for that run.
Calling him the glue was an overstatement for sure though.
yeah this is spot on. seems like lacroix is doing a decent job to replace andersen though, they aren’t really seeming to be having huge problems defensively.
