We're not going to bring in a defender, are we :-(

That is a pretty big gamble, particularly given all the money we have spent elsewhere.

I think we are going to have a difficult season. Expectations are through the roof and I fear that equalling last season's performance (which would be an achievement) is going to be seen as failure by some.

I think you’re absolutely right. We’ve had a relatively easy opening run of fixtures but the expectation this weekend will be palpable.
Seasons aren’t decided on any single game but If Arteta harbours any ambition to raise the bar, this is surely a must win ?

Do we need one tho? I am surprised we are not prioritising a striker.
