Club América stay unbeaten, but questions linger over their form | OneFootball

Club América returned to Liga MX with a narrow victory over Querétaro; the match was largely dominated by the eagles to the point that they ended it with about 80 percent of ball possession.

With this victory, the team remains undefeated this season, recording two wins (vs Xolos and Querétaro) and two draws (Necaxa and Juárez), earning eight out of a possible 12 points at the start of the tournament.

If we add up all competitions, the eagles have only fallen to Toluca in the Champion of Champions, recording a total of two victories, five draws, and the aforementioned defeat.

More doubts than certainties in América.

Although the numbers aren't all that bad, in terms of football level and overall results, they have been poor. In just a few weeks they have already lost the chance for two trophies by losing the Champion of Champions and the Leagues Cup.

Also, football-wise, the team still lacks a lot; during this season we have seen a team that dominates ball possession, but still has no idea upfront; the only way for the team to generate danger is with crosses into the area, either through play or from set pieces.

Another worrying issue is the defense; in the Leagues Cup we saw many individual and collective failures, and while they kept a clean sheet against Querétaro, the opponent is not a benchmark at all.

The arrival of Allan Saint-Maximin will greatly help in offense, but does not seem to be the solution for a team that has shown weaknesses in both offense and defense.
