Part 2/5:
As head coach Ange Postecoglou evaluates his options, he faces a critical decision: should he prioritize immediate fixes for the ongoing season or focus on developing talent that may take longer to integrate into the first team? This predicament is compounded by the uncertainty surrounding the fitness of current squad members.
The forwards presently available to Postecoglou have been underwhelming, with Richarlison returning from a long-term injury and only recently getting back to full fitness. Additionally, Theo Walcott has sustained an injury, and Brennan Johnson has experienced inconsistent form. Consequently, much responsibility has fallen onto the shoulders of players like Son Heung-min and new addition, Dominic San, who is still finding his footing at the top level.
