Could be all academic tbf, we could beat Leicester with our fringe and lose to Liverpool with our strongest side.
No matter who loses out between Liverpool and Leicester, it could be fun. Especially with what Fosse was levelling me with after the first 4 or 5 games this season.
I dunno if anybody other than Munse has been keeping bookmarks on some of the guff Fosse has come out with this season, but they could have a field day with some of his comments.
True but I do feel like Arteta missed a trick by not playing Saka at left back. He’s been so much more dynamic and mobile than Xhaka and offers good balance.
I’d put my money on September. After he’s spent the summer chasing Niguez, Veratti and Pjanic and ended up with Corinthian Joselesbos, Circumcision Xampathiakos, Daniel Aguero and Aaron Ramsay.
Lol. Apparently Arteta was asked before this game about the summer and he said that the owners are backing him with a 'sizeable' transfer budget. So it looks like he'll be there next season.
I wish Arteta figured this out earlier - because we would have had a better balanced team. And who knows, we may have still been fighting for something at this stage....
if we claimed that us getting top 4 was standard you rightly point out 5 in 10 is hardly standard hence i call bullshit .
Yeah it's okay lobbing a truck load of cash at the problem, but recruitment is key. In the last 18 months we've gone from Sven Mislintat, one of the best scouts in Europe, to ditching that for the Agent led approach from Raul Sanllehi. And then we ****ed that off and brought Edu in. I couldn't even tell you what our recruitment philosophy is atm. But I do know that half of this squad needs replacing.
