Don't give Arteta any funds in January imo

if he's so good he'll sort out this mess.

He has been fairly unfortunate with injuries tbf. Nketiah isnt starting at Palace, ESR is no longer a starter for Fulham, Balogun hasn?t played for Monaco since October, you guessed it, injured. Likewise, Nelson at Fulham, also crocked.
The Kroenkes must seriously be questioning why we spaffed ?100m on Vieira, Merino and Calafiori at this point. I wouldn?t blame them.
We had a clear need for a striker, Havertz, for all is faults isnt one, his game lies elsewhere.
Rice is being wasted out of position and the Sterling gamble looks to be a horrid punt.
I?m sure it?ll improve when our key players return but we?re in dire need of a good midfield playmaker and someone a bit more clinical up top, although knowing our form, we?ll probably look to buy Jackson from Chelsea on the cheap 😁

All valid points. That said, those Havertz chances really should have been buried. Not quite sure how Ugarte didn't get a 2nd yellow in the post penalty melee.

I'm sure we've all played the game to a level and missed easy chances, but missing two huge ones, in one match...
well, that's rather careless imo.

There were a couple of times, later on, when a booked Yanited player might have got another yellow imo but the ref bottled it imo.

Actually thought the ref had a decent game until the penalty

I feel for Havertz. He is clearly not 100% since being ill. Had a stinker against Newcastle and then he was clearly cut up about missing those two chances. The first one was bad, but the second one came at him so quickly. His penalty wasnt terrible either. Just not his day.

Martinelli showed his finishing ability again. Pity he was ****ing miles offside....

It all started going wrong for Kai when Leo missed that spot kick in the Champions League a few weeks back.

Based on our mounting injuries, I may get my wish and see him playing at CF.

Leo?s been absolute litter this season. Always so reliable off the bench. I?ve no idea what?s gone wrong there.

We are reaching the point where it surely must be worth trying.
