An illustration of the problem

[Peter]

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.

We just need a superstar-laced attack like everyone else. Gyokeres & Martinelli ARE NOT ELITE STANDARD OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO IT.

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

We also dropped ppints at Wolves and Forest, at Sunderland. And, for the most part, where we did win away from home it was by scrambling over the line.

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?

Be careful what you wish for.

Now dont be silly

If we'd been this positive all season we would be champions. It is very frustrating indeed.

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.

He needs to learn from these two seasons. He needs to understand that he has got this wrong. The balance is wrong.

If he can do that, he is worth keeping. I honestly thino he cant though

I am absolutely positive he will.

[Peter]

I am absolutely positive he will.

He did today. That was generally a pretty good performance. The balance was good, apart from that one instance for the second goal.

The two goals were pretty soft to be honest. Quite disappointed with both of them.

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