If we can’t pick up 6 points from Newcastle and Everton then we definitely have no right to be in the CL.
*mind you all bets are off if Xhaka somehow worms his way into the back line.

Tonight is gonna be the worst back 4 we've put out in years. They've already blown it as far as i'm concerned. I'll be putting money on Newcastle and a draw tonight.
Who was playing when Utd put 6 and 8 past us?Quote:

Second half? Well we can't play any worse.
Well that’s that then :hehe: important to remember that our starting FBs are out and there is no depth there. And you may have noticed that we have Xhaka and Elneny in midfield - which hardly sounds like a CL team
The squad just isn’t good enough to tolerate the level of injuries we have now :shrug:
although on a positive note - reports that Abramovich may let Chelsea go under.
Finishing 5th and making the CL because Chelsea went under would be pretty enjoyable :clap:
No excuse when we got rid of players and have others out on loan.Quote:

I don't think it's a squad depth issue why this team, time and time again gets utterly bullied by cannon fodder teams.Quote:

We need better players at the back and in midfield and some patience with our young attacking players. And a striker.
If we're honest, Partey since he's been here hasn't been better than Elneny has the last couple of months. He's been living off of his A. Madrid career.Quote:

Discount Pep is a spoilt brat with novice tactics…rather than coach he just kicks you out the team.
Shocking he’s been given a new contract…shocking.
How many world class managers have we missed out on? Pep, Klopp, Conte, Allegri? Lord.
Look at Newcastle…Howe reinvented Joelinton as a midfield enforcer and he bossed us today. No way Discount Pep can do that.
Also we need to have a chat about Tierney and Partey. Sorry but there’s no point in either of them with their injury records.
Nah he’s been very good most of this season - you haven’t been watching closely. Ran midfield against City
One good game then four average ones. He's no Vieira who was an 8/10 every game he didn't get sent off.Quote:

The repair job in the summer will be the old duct tape again.
we’re signing people like that MLS keeper who can’t kick past the half way line and some weedy little boy from Brazil.
Same ol’ sh*t again.
Should be getting people like Tyriq Mitchell at left back and Bissouma and Phillips in midfield to replace the three deadbeats.
Arteta doesn't allow the keeper to kick past the half way line anyway.Quote:
