Any manager would struggle with the players we’ve got available at the moment. I know a lot of people won’t have a bad word said about the board but De Zerbi been let down by them this season.
I know Bournemouth have spent big bucks but their team has a few weak areas (right back, centre midfield). It shows how much injuries have decimated us that we are expecting to lose to them.
This season has to be a big wake up call to the board. If we have another summer where they show no ambition like last year, we could well decline further and get relegated.
We look like a team that has given up for the season. Man City were miles better than us which made all the help the officials gave them seem completely unnecessary.
I know I’m going against the grain here but FA cup replays are mainly rubbish. Other than the very occasional one where a lower league team is playing against a Premier league side, there are usually really small crowds and even the lower league teams often make wholesale changes to their team.
We’ve barely scored a goal since he got injured so it would be disastrous if we sold him. It looks like we’ll finish 7 places lower than last season so surely the club won’t sell any first team players after what happened last summer.
i assume he’s one of the 9 out. I wonder if there will be some more news about him in the embargoed section of the press conference as I haven’t seen anything so far.
I think he’ll be moved on in the summer if anyone will take him. He’s always injured and hasn’t shown enough in the last 2-3 years when fit to warrant keeping him here.
A lower half finish might be the best thing possible for us as it will act as a wake up call for the board and cause them to show some ambition in the summer.
Arsenal look a completely different team to last year. They are now the Athetico Madrid of the Premier League. They are very solid in defence, constantly break up play with irritating fouls, time waste, wind up the opposition and rely on occasional but effective attacking moves. It’s not pretty...
