The seasons already a bit of a write off. We may go a bit further in the CL but top 4 is all that remains as an achievable goal. Some may think that?s negative, given pre season expectations but injuries and a lack of squad stability in key areas have taken their toll.
I do think questions need to be asked. Calafiori has been a waste of money, he couldn?t even deputise at CH today, due to yet another muscle pull. Alongside Tomi, injury prone, and what?s the point of having support players who spend more time on the treatment table than the first choice players ?
Arteta clearly no longer trusts, Tierney, Zinchenko and Kiwior so please get rid.
Partey and Jorginho are gone in the summer, it looks like zubimendi will come in. Perhaps we needed Merino to make that happen. I?ve started to think that way because he?s also been an under whelming signing.
The spotlight could well be back on Arteta in the summer. Yanks are notoriously ambitious and fairly ruthless from my experience. They won?t hold the line if theres a feeling that progress has stalled.
