In a way, I was right. If we had done what I expected us to do we would have lost. :-)
Well done, Arteta. Lovely to see that we can play a more cautious version of ourselves. Draw would have been ok.

I'd expected us to sell TP5 cos we needed the cash, but once we kept him, I had a feeling that for tough games we might start with TP5 {here it was Jorgy initially} at DM with Dec playing in GX's old role where Kai's been playing.
Keep it safe and then bring on an attacking inside-left for TP5 and drop Dec to DM later if needed.
MA's sort of admitted he was wrong to break the Saliba-Gabby partnership and the White-Ødin-Saka axis on the right. Hopefully soon, Rambo gets another chance. And hopefully Kai comes good or we try with Fab and/or ESR there.
can't we all be friends?
We seem to be. Imagine if AW had been told to spunk this sort of cash when we had Santi-Ozil-Alexis, Kos-Per etc.
Apparently the Yanks wouldn't put any money in until the Uzbek fücked off.
All David Dein's fault, both ways. We could still beowned by a board of City-boy Gooners.
