Whilst it’s all still very shit I’m not entirely sure what everyone is really expecting from arteta. Just look at what he has walked into.
Ozil and everything around him contract effort etc
Players running contracts down, our best player is likely to leave and our captain (IMO he shouldn’t be captain if he ain’t signing)
The defenders available- this alone needs a whole post.
The injury list
A pandemic
No funds
Taking over from a circus show
All this and also all the changes above him and restructuring. Klopp and pep both wouldn’t couldn’t fix this shit. We also don’t have any players really worth anything that could potentially help raise some cash ala Liverpool with countinho. We’d have to sell at least 7 players to only sign 2 maybe 3 back. It’s just not going to work.
I’m actually glad we the fans can’t go to games as I think it would have an even worse effect.
Leno now out for up to a year!! That’s crazy he has been imo one of our stand out players. I think he is quality.
Holding was a positive from Saturday thought he played very well considering he himself has been out injured for a very very long time.
So what next – I would like to see us play with a bit more youth, this season is a right off now we ain’t making CL I don’t care if get europa. Let’s blood medley, jules, give Pepe a decent run and let him discover his form, put aubs through the centre martinelli on the left, and i would love to see saka play in the 10 role.
