I feel for Ange in terms of the lack of options but I knew with every fibre of my being that Salah would tear Royal a new one today BEFORE the game even started.
It took him too long to react to that, one hour and 4-0 down until we hooked him. Should have subbed him at HT absolute latest.
I hate to use them as an example but look at the amount of times Arteta was seen to be out of his depth, there were calls from fans and media that he needed to leave. Now look where they are having given him time to get his own players around the good ones he inherited.
Ange still doesn’t have his own players in some key positions, let’s not forget that.
We don’t have a 6, at all.
We don’t have the right type of winger, either side.
And we don’t have a proper striker.
When you look at our XI how many can you truly say are HIS signings. Maybe three? He got...
Pleased to hear ITK saying we’ve got a DM so high on the list, we’re really crying out for not one but two. A proper 6 should really help Sarr, Bentancur and maybe even Bissouma thrive.
He is absolutely forced into it though, you can’t just chuck a youngster into games like that, could completely ruin their development. You need competitions like Europa/League Cup for that.
Calm the fuck down and remember the state of the squad before he joined.
He’s still forced to play bang average players when someone in our XI is injured or out of form.
The drop off from Udogie and Davies is absolutely huge. We’re forced to play Hojbjerg because Bissouma is so badly out of...
Sounds spot on, bottles every 50/50 and is a passenger when we’re not in full flow. He needs benching until end of season, playing much better without him.
Would have taken 5th at the beginning of the season and I think that’s where we’ll deservedly finish. The squad isn’t ready for CL if we’re being honest and think we could have a good run at Europa whilst giving some of our future stars a look during the early games.
Whoever it is will have to deal with losing their best player in the last decade as Salah won’t be hanging around, feels like this is his last season in the Prem. That in itself comes with lots of added pressure.
You can't sort these issues overnight though mate, it takes constant coaching with a defensive unit that is all still pretty new at playing both together and in this country.
We need to calm down a bit a remember the shower of shite we were served up before his arrival.
Two transfer windows is no where near enough to sort out what he inherited, he's already done a great job at shifting out a lot of "deadwood" that needed moves and all the while dealing with losing...
