Set up negatively from the start should have started eze for merino and have ago at them this is not the city of old but we are being held back by poor team selection we have to take these games by the scruff of the neck or we will be runners up yet again!

The problem is we are set up to not lose, and not to win. This is causing the issues we have with creativity as the players don’t want to take a risk which might mean losing the ball.
A prime example of this is Odegaard- 2 seasons ago he was making incredible forward passes but if you watch him now he very rarely takes the chance, and the ball ends up going sideways or backwards.

At long last - someone highlighting Ode…The elephant in the room.

Yep - it’s unpopular but : drop Ode and upgrade with Eze in that role. That single move changes our approach yet fans jump to Ode’s defence. He’s been terrible this and last season plus before then disappeared in big tight games. Unpopular but true, sorry if you love him.

Exe is a game changer that special ingredient we simply haven’t had.


Sorts out our captain issue although Arteta is intent on giving it to someone who doesn’t give ? or shout at players hence Saka took the armband when he came on. Love Saka but he’s not a captain. He needs to find his mojo as Noni attacks better than him. Thought Saka was poor today.

Zubi not yet looking the player I thought we needed or got. Bit slow and liteweight. Hope that gets sorted. Is that why Merino started?


Winter window - still need LW and a striker.
