ten Haag did well last season with a mess of a squad and a host of trouble makers. Similar to the issues Arteta inherited. I still don't think they are buying him the right players. He might just be in the sort of second season slump Arteta experienced. I doubt he will be given time to turn it around though.

That kid in midfield, Mainoo- he looks amazing. For a kid that young to play that well, in that position at the top level is almost unheard of these days.
Spot on on Mainoo. In terms of buying players he's been involved in that to some extent - the money spent on Antony was embarrassing. A no-trick pony at best. Not sure while they eulogise about Martinez either - a thug with no pace
