Evening all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope all is well. was watching the game yesterday. and got me thinking could we have not played tierney at left back, timber at right back and kept partey in midfield.? . we probably would have been more solid. I like tierney and still think he could do a job for us if required (is he still injured) .? I love Arteta but sometimes trying to fit square pegs in round holes doesn't work. would so love to see us go back to the swashbuckling handbrake off, full throttle on football of two seasons ago. (get the ball forward with pace and direction) . we just seem to be trying to score the perfect goal all the time. I was watching the game with my youngest son and my exact words were we are all over them but not scoring. watch them go up our end and score with their first chance. And no more than two minutes later they had the ball in the back of our net. can't wait till we can have a full strength squad to choose from for a consistent run of games. our first eleven is a match for anybody. but we seriously need to look at the quality and strengths/ weaknesses on the bench and address what needs addressing. sadly some of them are not quite up to it need moving on and replacing. ?⚪️❤️ COYG/ VTH.

I reckon they are protecting Tierney in case he goes elsewhere in the winter window Gabi.
It's an eternal problem, those backup players probably aren't quite up to first team standard but could we get any better? Surely if we could, they would want to play every week. Unless we could put together two first teams and rotate every week lol.

Hi Sal, hope you’re good. Think you’ve a good shout on KT. probably could be out the door in the winter window. shame… because I like him, good player just so injury prone. feel real sorry for gabi Jesus ( I like him) . he just looks totally lost for confidence. there’s a real good player in there somewhere just don’t think we are ever likely to see it. ?⚪️❤️.

Can't complain thanks Gabi, hope all good with you.
Yeah it's a shame about TIerney, I always enjoyed seeing him bomb down that wing.
