Yeah me too - although perhaps the collapses did tend to happen Jan/Feb or so. Also, I seem to recall so many absolute hammerings by the other top 4/5 clubs that even if we were top or very close I never really felt like we had a chance.Originally Posted by SWv2
Just for the record I don’t think we are really in any title race this season. We have had a magnificent run since the Chelsea game but inevitably will hit a patch at some point, one that I would not expect City or Liverpool to have, possibly Chelsea neither.
Interesting few weeks ahead. Couple of injuries just happening to stretch resources throughout the team, lots of games to play, Ozil gone missing to be sold in January, two remaining central defenders out this weekend so I guess we play a three of Lichsteiner, Koscielny and Monreal which probably was not in the script and who at best could be a risk, Torreira one game from a ban, Spurs in the Cup and Liverpool in the League.
If we sell Ozil and Ramsey, we have just about precisely hold on let me count it all up here we are: zero creativity in our squad.
Yeah, because Lacazette, Boomerang and Mikkie don't create anything
Oh yes, a classic 10 and two trequartistas there.Yeah, because Lacazette, Boomerang and Mikkie don't create anything
Idiot.
You said zero creativity in the squad. If we lose Ramsey and Ozil. Zero. No one else is capable of creativity. Not one of them.
And I'm the idiot.
There is no if in regards to the Welsh, we are selling Ramsey or more accurately allowing him to leave, one cannot call it a sale if the exit is left until the summer and no fee is received.
I have no idea what is occurring with Ozil. The manner of his excusion from Bournemouth was simply beyond logic and hints at issues, his continued absence since then, including for some huge domestic games, on the basis of a back injury, a little suspicious at best. Given the drain he is on the relative limited finances available to the club I for one would not be surprised one jot to see him leave.
It would be wrong of you to suggest there absence removes all creativity from the current playing staff and anyway I would expect the new summer window to be quite a busy period for us.
Where are we going to find a Tony Currie in the summer, eh? Or a Stan Bowles? Because that's what we need right enough.
There is another possibility we should not dismiss - Ozil mans up, listens to Unai, and turns into the player he could be and the club get a big boost as a world class player reaches his potential for us. Just saying like...
Well yes, not impossible at all, he could awaken from his absence this weekend and put in a stellar performance as we all know he can, however one cannot but think that is a slim prospect given events of recent weeks.
Remember this is a man retired from the rigours of international football, a man who relatively speaking would have been well rested but was then deemed to be not up for the fight of Bournemouth where he was clearly not injured.
His sore back having come afterwards.
Nah, this all stinks of pish. This is Mourinho v Pogba without the lunatic egotistical element of that particular shítfest.
