NextSeason

Pretty wild that up to 4 starting players are needed in the summer.

Fingers crossed they lose the rights when they lapse

Granted the Football has been awful, the thing that makes me question Slot the most is how he’s handled media in regards to Salah, Elliott and our performances.

For sure, which with the quality of the squad is absurd.

Not been a fan of his communication around the whole situation, it feels off especially seeing how Harvey seemingly behaved well throughout last season while having limited opportunities.

Think the management of both Harvey and Chiesa are things that have caused me quite a bit of doubt.

We continue with the galactios transfers.

Remarkable

Decent half imo, bit shaky from time to time. Should have taken some more of our chances.

Keeps on improving more or less every game, still feel he will go up several levels still. So exciting!

Frimpong and Kerkez covering the flanks and going forward would hopefully improve it but I still feel like we lack central progression.

In order to reduce the transition period of those players are recruited over a longer period of time?

As there seems to be some problems in the squad that are not purely down to tactics but rather rooted in the balance of the squad, imo the need for CB(s), DM and pace on the wings, would it make sense to try and do as much business as possible in Jan seeing how the season is playing out?

Looks good! Strong bench :)

Curious to hear what direction you are going in. Still have my WC left and had planned to get some more City and Liverpool players but atm I have no clue where I would like to go with the team…

If this continues we are gonna lose out on a CL spot. I don’t think the suits will allow that.

Incredibly concerning

The summer window is very curious. No doubt talented players were signed but unlike previous windows it does not look like they were signed to fit into how we play…

Indeed. I’m not sure Isak got the ball the first 30 mins. Then he grew frustrated and moved out wide.

Would be good if we could try and score any of the chances this season aswell.

The starting eleven is certainly a choice based on the current situation.

Frankfurt just showed how to play with some speed..

Plenty of runs on the counter for Isak aswell and Liverpool play the pass to a worse option.

Guardiola playing low-possession sufferball in own penalty area = Mourinho’s ultimate triumph

Waited so long for this to happen. Never in a million years did I believe it would end up being Isak!

Yeah Liverpool are not clicking as of yet. Very happy to see them grind out 3 points.

Quite surprised that Arsenal did not attack Liverpool more than they did all things considered. Have to look over the game again but it felt like ARS was happy with a draw/hoping for a goal from a corner.

GW 2

📉 35 pts
🌍 7.8m

If last week was disappointing GW 2 was a disaster.

Despite the current state of the team I will roll the transfer to get more information and avoid potential injuries over the international break.

Leeds and West Ham with very poor defensive performances.

GW 1

📉 51 pts
🌍 5.5m

A disappointing start to the season.

The punt on Mitoma did not pay off but atleast the mins were good. Concerning showing from AVL.

FOMO creeping in regarding Reijnders but I’m very happy with the Anderson pick to avoid uncertainty of mins.

BUR, BRE, WOL teams to target?

I completely agree on Noni. Zubimendi I think will prove a solid signing for the price. Isak would have been terrific for Arsenal.

Will be interesting to see if they sort out a LW before the window closes because I think they might still need more firepower.

Not sure Arsenal could grab Zubimendi + Noni in addition to Isak (2x Gyökeres price).

They have spent heavily over the past seasons and have not made that much back from sales

22/23 - Spent 186m (Net -162m)
23/24 - Spent 235m (Net -165m)
24/25 - Spent 109m (Net -25m)
25/26 - Spent 224m (Net -216m)

Only watched him for Sweden. Very vertical and always making runs in the channels. Rarely drops deep (Isak does). Relentless which gets him goals as he never stops going but as you noted relies on service and transitions.
