I know ED002 said we have gambled on getting top four this season but I think it`s possible not probable. This season due to C.V. and no fans will be much more open - just look at the results and table. Plus injuries will have a big say due to International games tournaments and domestic/ european games coming thick and fast. I think long term we are better off playing Saliba in a back four with Gabriel and playing ESR or Willock behind Auba and Laca. Martinelli will be back soon as very decent cover or starter. By next season Arteta will have had two windows to sell and bring in quality. Let`s not forget we can also sell Torreira and Guendouzi . I always want to win but this is a process and next season will be with us soon and arteta is the man for it. Aouar or similar makes us much more potent! Blood Saliba now he`ll be better next year because of it! COYG.

We keep signing players but nothing changes mate.
The cheque book no matter how big will not make up for more deep rooted problems.
Arteta needs to get much more out of what he's already got before its reasonable to think simply adding players will make any real difference.

Does anyone really believe we will finish in the top 4? Liverpool, Chelsea, city. so we have to better spurs Leicester and United at least. on this form it looks highly unlikely.

I guess we have to hope something out nowhere just clicks for us and others have a bad patch or 3 Sir Wenger mate, top 4 looks as far away now as it did in Arsenes final years.

Which is why 62 I said sell guendouzi and torreira and just buy one AM . Also don’t think anyone can argue that Gabriel and Partey ( both signings I believe) have improved us . Also we do need to calm down a bit we are ultimately 3 points off Chelsea ( who the perception is are playing well ) and we haven’t had a shot on target since Fulham! We will be in the mix once the whole front three wake up COYG.

Hi Sussex mate, Gabriel and Partey are brilliant additions but Arsenal are no better with than without them. Why is the question?
13 Nov 2020 11:27:02
Maybe we have over compensated on trying to get the defence and midfield right! Doesn’t help that the front three have been asleep- whether that’s attitude or us overcompensating! Either way I am assuming you think we have the personnel just not either the style of play or wrong manager . I think we have the right manager who will solve the style . But as you know been wrong before! Still three points off Chelsea but as usual if it doesn’t improve Mikel like Arsene and Emery will be gone and big question will be how long will he be given? ( stating the bleedin obvious ) COYG.

Also on a Partey and Gabriel new additions! How long did it take Henry and Sir Bergkamp to settle in and look at the players Henry in particular had around him . Bit of patience maybe? COYG.

Well said Sussex, ignore G69 it’s Friday and his high heels always hurt him so he gets a bit touchy 👠👠.
