Not too happy. villa and city both won. but any time we win and chicken on a beach ball, spuds get done is always nice. really have to rest up/prepare hard no stone unturned, then get ourselves at it big time for Everton away next weekend.

(tricky one) . then handbrake off full throttle on… COYG/VTH. ONE TEAM THE ARSENAL/ONE ❤️ p. s I really hope gyokeres turns into the lean mean goal machine we hoped he’d be. come on victor, we still believe ?? ?⚪️❤️.

{Ed025's Note - i did tell you about Joke-eres Gabi, not good enough im afraid mate, the search for a good centre forward continues..

Liverpool fan here and admittedly I have not watched much of your recent games so what I'm about to say is what I observed much earlier in the season.

But I think the players, and maybe to an extent Arteta, do not know how to play with a proper CF. Arsenal has not played with a CF in quite a while, always choosing to play with a false nine all these previous seasons so they're looking awkward now with a player who is an actual CF and is making those runs in behind. Your players are still playing like they have a false nine and that just isolates Gyok further. I did see some good signs earlier in the season though where balls are played to Gyok but like I said, I'm not sure if they have pushed on with that. Didn't help that he got injured and is just coming back from it. They'd have to re-adapt to him again but I think he'll come good for you.

Fair comment Drac, we seem lost in what to do with him, Arteta loves the possession stats and would rather keep the ball than whip it into the box, he likes to go back and start again if there isn't a clear pass on offer.

Afternoon all. My only concern at the moment is our players getting injured so frequently. We now have a full squad that we have needed to compete all fronts a manager that can and will get us there. I think piece is getting the medical physio team right to keep our players fresh and injury free. No doubt it will be playing on the minds of the players too. With victor we have to be patient we don’t have the capacity to experiment on tactics.

We know with the current scheduling the team are not even able to train together as they need to be rested. And victor didn’t even get a preseason with us. Once the squad is fully fit we can rotate and experiment. Still top of the table top champions league n we can still do so much more. A lot more to be happy about then miserable.

Thanks for your comments Dracred and good points made.
I'm seeing suggestions our players are playing for themselves to up their goal tally to impress international managers and not giving Gykores the service he needs. I really hope that's not the case and it's simply that they are not used to playing with an out and out no.9.

What's your view on your team and manager this year Red? they seem to be turning the corner now after the rocky patch. Anyway good luck for the rest of the season but please don't get too good! lol.

Hi Sally I think those suggestions are made by people looking for issues that simply didn't exist.

What international manager would be interested in players who are so self obsessed that they put themselves and their own interestes before their teams? Surely that would put an international manager off picking a player.

Hi Sally. I don't think your players are selfish or they want to up their goal tally just to impress their international managers. They don't seem to be those kind of players. There were good signs earlier on in the season where Gyok was getting played in and he was scoring goals. I still think he'd come good and that the rest of the team would get used to having a player making those runs in behind.

Thanks for you nice words too. It feels nice to go 5 games unbeaten but two of those games were against Sunderland and Leeds that we drew. The Sunderland game needed a last minute goal line clearance to maintain the draw and we threw away the lead twice against Leeds. Things do seem to be getting better now but our fitness is a major concern. Our players were dead in their feet against Brighton and many went down with cramps. Not what we want to see more when we are halfway through the season. I think top 4 should be our target for now and once we get that then we can start thinking about chasing you and city down for top spot. Still too early to think we have fully turned the corner though. We have a good squad, much better than what we are showing, but Slot has to prove himself again and make full use of them.

Thanks for all the positives about our guys. I couldn't believe what I was reading and I've always felt the team spirit here is second to none. Booooo to those that think they are selfish lol.
