I?m afraid it will not work out for poor Viktor

[Peter]

For God's sake, it's only December. We didn't have Kai to allow a gradual introduction, he's been playing with different players every week with our best central creator, Odin, out for much of the season when they need time to learn to play together like B-Odin-BW did/do. Timber's the best FB since Lauren but even he's still learning how to combine with those two as well as BW. And he's been injured.

Yet his goals, the interplay before the injury {and Ganpati willing coming back straight away} and what he adds to the team has been far more than Sesko, Isak or Etitike. Without him, we'd have been playing with MnM all season, and he might have got crocked. I do like what MnM does up top, I think a false 9 who can score, create and win aerial duels is something that MA likes. But imagine we hadn't signed a striker and everyone was injured.

We'll soon have 4 different options up top, one of whom can also play wide, one as a ten and one as a box-to-box MF.

The problem is the defensive injuries, not Vik.

I didn't say he was the problem. Just that I think Arteta prefers Havertz.

And so do I.

I think we signed a striker to shut people up. I honestly don't think that Arteta is a big fan of the out and out centre forward. The plan was to start Havertz but....

Managers never are, unless they score enough goals. And such individuals are not easy to come by.

I never buy into all this 'so and so won't pass to so and so'.

It may have been true at school where you don't pass to the fat kid but I don't buy it here.

passed to the fat kid at school to try and help him with his self esteem. And when he invariably messed up I would put my arm around his shoulder and explain that what really mattered was that he'd tried his best. Were you a bully Peter?

I?m so disappointed in him.

For a while there, I was the fat kid
