    We need to spend around a billion and we might be able to snatch a draw at home to them

    With tactical genius Farke at the helm I doubt we’d get a draw however much we spent.

    The energy of Solomon we are missing for starters , we need gutsy goal scorers also and another leader with ampadu being out , we need cover for him.

    Farke seemed to try do the usual 65 mins bring on subs and also try possession football which everyone told him it would not work against skillful teams , we need to get physical and boss the game.

    True , but we could've changed the result with putting the effort in , there was no fight.

    Just had another thought on how we could've prevented it. We could have thrown a few games at end of last season. Wouldn't have been difficult, could have left Meslier between the sticks <ok>

    Beat us easily because they are one of the best teams in Europe. Have better players and they have more money to hoy at players who we cant ge they are also well established.
    What could we of done to prevent it? Emm a bomb scare probably would of done the trick

    Parked the bus maybe, but then there'd be complaints about that and they'd only have to get lucky with their umpteen shots at goal. We'd also increase the chances of conceding a pen as they'd be free to run into the box.

    We can sell meslier as he is not needed now so that would give us abit more in the pot to buy a striker along with selling Bamford and shirt arse
    Could sell meslier as he is not needed now and also Bamford might get 25m for em both 15m for meslier and 10m for bamford and also could sell short arse Geldhart get 5m for him , all of a sudden we got 30m could get a good striker and money left over for a stab in the dark striker from lower divisions. What's your thoughts on player by player performance against arsenal ?

    At the start arsenal we're wavering that's when we had a chance , we nearly scored with struik header don't forget , I think if we had scored and showed some fight it could've been a different game so that shows we can beat them.

    What about if we had of attacked then from the start and pinned them back , we could've scored and put the ****s in them. Got to surprise these teams or we get f.cked like we did. Wouldn't it have been better to lose like that ?

    Seemed to try that at the start. If Strujik had scored hos header, then what. We were simply outclassed.

    If we did that we’d probably be looking at a 7-0 drubbing.

    Gotta take a chance better having a go at arsenal , than sitting back as we did , you saw what happened when struik almost scored by attacking the ball and having a go

    We could've then waited and caught arsenal on the counter attack for goal No2

    A bit contrary this post. Are we going all out attack or sitting back to try and catch them on the break? You can do either from the start?
