Us away to the current top seven:
City- lost
Villa- lost
Liverpool- lost
Chelsea- held on for a draw against ten men
Brentford- held on for a draw
United (when they were still ****)- won with a terrible performance (lost at home)
When it comes to difficult games, we are just not good enough and we find a way to lose.
Last season we got told our issue was against the lesser teams while we dominated the big sides.Quote:

Add to that a right back & a fit Merino and we?ll be away.
I have no idea how we have been so competitive this season with such a ramshackle attack. Set pieces, I suppose.
I didnt say it was the only problem :-)Quote:

We've probably produced about three convincing performances away from home all season- at Burnley, Leeds and Spurs. That is pathetic.
We left out ourselves reliant on City screwing up and, when they didnt, on us producing a result at City today. We played well, and still found a way to lose.
Add three top class forwards to this squad and I promise you it will make little difference. And will break the bank.
Performances and results have got worse over two years. Two great chances to win the league have been squandered. We won't get close to City next season.
If the club really want to win the league they will move on from Arteta. But they won't.
Kieran McKenna? Frank Lampard?Quote:

I dont want Arteta to leave but I do think he's done.
If they sack him I don?t know if I could forgive the club. Would be a terrible mistake.Quote:

I am absolutely positive he will.Quote:

City are superb. But add Alvarez, Olise and Barcola with Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus & Gyokeres going we?ll be flying and make no mistakeQuote:

I think the fans quite like it now.....Quote:
