A few players have been poor but none as bad as Verbruggen. Appalling first half, lost possession constantly, dropped easy crosses.
Hes quality but needs time and Steele should keep the shirt for a few weeks.
Veltman was not a ‘worry’ he was solid.
Dunk was not very very good. That was one of his shakiest games in a while
Milner being a 3 is just nonsense. He had a good game, was progressive with the ball and I can barely remember him misplacing a pass
Minteh was average and never a 7. His...
Normally I’d agree but quite a few of our players won’t be going away, particularly at the back and midfield so it’s a chance for the manager to work on his ideas. Could be useful.
Arsenal

This is where I am. It doesn’t make sense to me. I know the usual gang will be along to chastise me and telling me to trust Tony (which I do) but it’s simple mathematics.
We have:
Mitoma
Adingra
Minteh
March
Pedro
Enciso
Gruda
Welbeck
Ferguson
Rutter
That’s 10 players for four places. And...
Not sure I understand this one at all. We simply do not need another player in this position.
If he comes then someone big is leaving in my opinion.
Would much rather we signed another centre half personally and got the right back over the line.
This is one of those scenarios where no matter how much trust and faith I have in the club and Tony Bloom it is difficult to understand what’s going on. Atlanta are absolutely desperate for him and we are seemingly only €2/3m apart on valuation so why can’t we just get it done.
Yet more tremendous business by the club. He had a great season last year but really did little for us when actually part of the squad.
He showed some flashes but aside from the Arsenal goal (and even then we already winning) I can’t think of a single meaningful Premier League goal he scored...
No.
Newcastle have barely strengthened, their squad is really not great and an already aging defence is now a year older.
Villa are excellent but will have champions league to contend with and more games than ever in it. We saw what that did to Newcastle.
Chelsea are a basket case of a...
I don’t understand those of our fans saying we need more midfielders with physicality. With Baleba and Wieffer we are well covered.
Where we are short are the technical ball playing midfielders who can play centrally. Gross, Lallana and Gilmour leaving creates a real hole . I’m sure...
