I know. It's a fücking joke. We've had all summer and we're weaker than last year. We have a useless Chav reject and a third choice full back on long contracts with big wages.Originally Posted by Tony C
If we're playing a 4-2-3-1, then Torreira in front of the back 4 and Gwendo as box-to-box would be ok if Partey et al are injured. But while we pay their wages, Arteta doesn't like them so they're not even in London.
The team is crying out for a Santi/Rosicky type. Someone with the skill, goals and assists of a no.10 who can play as a no.8 between Partey and ESR, allowing Thomas is sit deeper.
But we don't even have Odegard any more.
Our skipper's lost it since Malaria. We've 4 strikers going for one place and don't have Europe. In 2002, having Skiltord as cover for all of the front 4 positions meant he played more than most of them and he knew how to fit in as a result.
No-one wants our donkey rejects so we can't sell to buy. We don't have a 2nd goalie and the Sperz are buying that talented striker we wanted.
Willock should have been given a go. If he could just put in a tackle, move the ball forward to the skilful 3 behind the striker, and can get into the box, he could do a job. His strike that crossed the goal-line vs the Chavs was a sweet finish after great work by Coni in the box.
I don't think MA knows what he's doing. He needs to work with the players he has, as opposed to thinking he can play like Pep.
Kronkie has destroyed this club and he doesn't understand enough about football to know how to fix it. The longer we're out of the CL, the further we'll fall behind. A decade of mid-table mediocrity beckons.
To think we left Highbury for this.
