Us Barcelona Real Madrid A Madrid Bayern Dortmund PSG Inter I pick any of those above Arsenal to win the CL, and at least two of them will go out in the next game (and I'd still give them a better chance than Arsenal) So he's kind of right, as they aint winning the CL
Yeah same, the least drama the better please - getting it sewn up with many games to spare shows you are levels above everyone else, let them try and spin that so they can sleep a bit easier, we’ll be partying into the night
Tbh points total, beyond scoring more than 2nd place, is something I'll only have an intrest in if we get knocked out of the CL
In the end my thoughts would be that a league cup would be nice and its a reasonable chance.to do so even eith tiredness If we can get by psg this Tuesday then we can think about the later stages and burning league games with reserves to give thst a go. To get to 85 we need 5 wins out of 9. We won't need that but what we want to try to is maximise the season. Let's see the result on Tuesday before worrying about that. We want a good end to March and that is literally only this week now. Then we will see what damage the stupid internationals bring and go from there.
Keane was certainly laying into Arsenal after the match, saying he doesn’t think they will be challenging to win the PL next season. Certainly giving it large to Merson, who to be fair, said Arsenal have no chance of winning the league this season.
Slot's first trophy with us being to retain Klopp's last with us would have a certain poetry to it. Passing the torch etc. Would also get the "first trophy" monkey off his back already and give us some nice positivity going into the international break.
Keane is fairly straight forward with his opinions. If toy look at this result critically, arsenal didn't come out for tjet second half really. Utd were actually better but rice grabbed a goal to set up the back and forth ending. Look what arteta is doing Raya Timber saliba gabriel caliafori Partey rice Nwaneri odengaard trossard merino What the **** is that. That's 4 cbs. No width coming from that ****e. stright out of the pep handbook but badly executed. No 6 at striker. Put trossard there ffs. Child at rw when you've sterling even if he's given up. Like, you have zinchenko there and never use him so you are getting no width. OK you have skelly doing alright at lb bar the cards. This is a half way house between a pep tactic and some abortion of an attack thst is the worst of both worlds. Arteta hasn't had a rb option for years really, whites is not a rb but is played there cos saka covers up the issue. Zinchenko at lb was their best tactic for years and it helped martinelli. They have now 3 fit forwards so there's no excuse to be starting merino at 9. None at all. He is not foden
It'd be nice. In reality we have the first trophy and the one all fans want within grasp. If we just got a league cup this season it would be anti climatic. A mini double would be very nice and would give momentum.for after the break But I'd like to be unbeaten this week
When you get 97 points and still finish second (and three years later get 93 points and don't win again) you reach a stage where you can't be arsed if you win the league on 70 points, just one point ahead of second. Nothing will ruin this for me. In fact, I think we should have two buses on the parade and get Jurgen, Bobby, Mane, Hendo, Windy, et al from the 2020 squad there as well. We just need to beat Everton now, and given our April fixtures we SHOULD have it all over before our horrendous fixtures in May.
Tbh I think Mikel Arteta has taken Arsenal as far as he can. Perhaps they need a more experienced manager ,
It would be nice to get to 90 pts. If anything, it should shut the Arsenal fans up as 90 is the highest they have ever achieved and that was when they went unbeaten. Should stop them (who am I kidding) saying we only won because everyone else is shoite.
he’s a massive bellend but nowhere near as bad as Neville and Rio who are just plain haters. They don’t even try to hide it.
Timber is a FB who can play CB and Caliafori is a FB albeit one who is really poor at his defending lark but in no way is he a CB
Talk of 90 points etc is premature. 86 is the target. If and when we hit 86 then you look at 90. But give me 16 points from the next 6 games and I’ll happily take 3 defeats in the final 3 if we also then get through and can focus on the CL
