Happy Holidays everyone - hoping 2026 is a great year full of love, happiness, and success.
Few observations:
We are top and I love our new tactics - corners and OGs! ?
We aren't performing - Everton, Palace, Chelsea, Villa, Wolves etc games showed our lack of desire to win. Déjà vu- too many draws I fear. Must sort ASAP.
Someone needs to help Arteta find his balls, looking like a bottle job already.
Start playing the ball bloody forward. Even Eze looks average and lost his desire to instinctively attack and go forward fast.
Make Dec captain - it's a no brainer. We need that change in mentality.
Why did we buy Viktor if we don't play to his strengths. He's not good enough but he's better than this.
City looking strong and that tiny gap is worrying. Not the end of the world but we are inviting pressure.
Let's not kid ourselves - Haaland isn't the reason we won't win the league. He wouldn’t score half as many goals for us because we don’t get an early ball into the box.
If we don't win league - it's on our boss, transfer policy and HIS tactics AND standards he accepts.
it's not all on the boss. the captain has a role to play : he should put a boot up the team's ass - they are guilty of playing comfort football rather than making difficult decisions to attack. For me, that's lazy and lacks a winners' mentality.
We need to sign a proper striker in the winter window. The answer isn't Viktor, Jesus, Merino or Kai. None of those would start for a team hoping to win the league. Let’s at least get an option on the bench.
Overall- We've spent a fortune and been patient. Boss must step up or get off the pot.
On a positive - top of the league, doing well in the cups and some players have really really turned up. Timber, Noni and Rice : wow
Saka looking a bit better.
I went to the Spurs game - where's that desire gone? We played fantastic football against an abysmal Spurs side.
Anyway, glad to be back: Happy holidays and love to you all ( readers, posters and Eds ) .

Thanks all - we are still in the mix and the Dours game showed we have it in us. Just need that NLD spirit in our games more. We are difficult to beat and will win the league if we can be a bit more positive. 3 points for a win is a huge - a win and loss is better than two draws. Someone needs to remind the boss
Hope you are well Mal.
