Our top goalscorers, chance creators and assisters (is that a word?) have all been criticised a lot. Son has 9 assists and 7 goals in the league. It's 11 assists and 11 goals in all competitions. Brennan Johnson has 11 league goals and 3 assists and Maddison has 9 and 7. Porro has 6 assists, which puts him behind only Ait-Nouri for defenders, who has 7. He has the same contribution stats as Odegaard, funnily enough. 2 goals, 6 assists. Kulusevski's created some insane number of chances, but they generally don't get finished. It's a shame that there's no cohesive structure for them to benefit from. I really don't think that we have a bad squad.
I think that most of the players are good, but that we lack balance. Started the season with a fullback deficiency and no holding midfielders, for a start. The system and complete lack of tactics and organisation are a separate issue.
Halving the number of tactical plans hasn't helped We're using last season's Plan B as our default tactics, but when that doesn't work we just do that same plan only faster

“And next year I’ll choose Real Madrid”. That could genuinely be a possibility too if he continues his trajectory. Special talent by the looks of things. Great news though.
Hope he goes tbh. Think that we've got cover for him, we'd get decent money for him, he's too injury prone, a bit(!) reckless and prioritises playing international football (fair enough imo). Wouldn't be gutted if he stay but think a move makes sense all round
It's been suggested that Bayern are going to try to sell Joao Palhinha in the summer. He doesn't fit into Kompany's plan, apparently. We should be all over that one. Exactly what we need.
So, Ange's first comments about next year are that he needs to bring in experience. Bit of a no-brainer I suppose, but who? Well, for one, I'd love to see Harry back here. He would be the perfect role model on so many levels to our younger players and might reignite Sonny for another season. Would he come back? Damn right,... he would
Little bit of DH ITK for you - Charlie Kane was at the stadium last night and my mate bumped into him, Charlie said Harry definitely wants to break the Prem record but didn’t confirm if that’d be with Spurs or not, did however say “I can guarantee you it won’t be with Arsenal”.
It's a no-brainer for me, buddy. He ticks virtually every box and what a way for him to wrap up a career. It's just a pity his brother is such a dick - cos I wouldn't trust a word he says!!
If Munich had also won the CL in one of the previous two seasons, then IMHO returning to take the Shearer record would have been on. Now I believe tis too late for him (lest he would endure a Rooney-esque England demeaning career just to get the record) .
Harry has said he's very happy at Bayern for now. It took him the best part of a year to get his family settled so I doubt he'll now uproot them again having just done that.
