The "goalposts" are simply the relative strengths of the season 2 and 3 squads. That's the point I picked up. As those three points all go to that I'll assume you have no comeback.

Does that make him worse than Bernardo or Suttner? Are Lamptey's 8 starts weaker than playing a season with Martin Montoya? Did we waste £20 million on Webster? Was Trossard not playing?
Between season 2 and season 3 we added Webster, Lamptey (pre injury, still quick), Maupay. Trossard and MacAllister (played in the last game against Burnley). Burn and Bissouma had become established players. We had far better players at our disposal in season 3 compared to season 2.
