Arsenal win everything.

Welcome to the 2021/22 season.

In these uncertain times with Covid 19 shutting down the world, I think it is only fair that all leagues should be shut down and all current seasons cancelled, so that we can start again from scratch next year.

Out, personally I would like Max Allegri, but I don't see Arsenal as a club that even desires to win the league, and would he even want the job, considering how the club operates? They're better jobs to be had. Not a fan of backroom staff selecting and signing players either, so would change that first and foremost.

Signing fucking William and then sacking the mascot, who quite frankly would be more effective on the pitch. Signing Saiba and not including him in the squad, and even worse not wanting to loan him out, especially to a team in the lower half of the table.

Joke of a club.

The biggest problem the club face at the moment aside from the the owners and the backroom staff is the players, they know they can bully any manager into bending to their whims by tanking the club results and have done it to two managers before him and they got sacked. As long as your players as a group know this and as long as they get the result they ask for (either the manager cave to them or get sacked) Arsenal situation will remain the same in the long run with short lived bounces when changes happen.

I thought Arsenal had more problems with their back line than the forwards

 

[Teslerum]

I thought Arsenal had more problems with their back line than the forwards

For a large part of this season and partly still today our biggest problem is simply internal strife and out of form players. Our team was disgusting to watch the last three months because everyone seemed angry and held their heads low. Zero confidence.

No idea what's exactly the reason though. Be it Willian or Özil or whatever. Just glad its looking up again (At least partly).

As for any specific problem, I don't think we have any this year except for Attacking midfield and depth (or more than depth actual competition regarding several positions).

Special shoutout to our *fans* though who instead of enjoying the last two wins decided to focus on finding new/old targets for scapegoating and abuse. Utterly disgusting.

(As for the backline, its been quite decent this year I thought, confidence issues like the rest of the team aside)

The players individually demand appeasement to perform on the pitch and getting them all to be professionals and do their job at the same time is like herding cats (not because they fight with each other but because they are bullying the manager and the club).

So you don't see him as a starter? The talk is he's asking for a lot in wages. So that would be an expensive sub.

Depend on what position he is trying to start at, the thing is that he can play in several positions so he can be one player that cover for multiple positions when the players injured. And I don't think he will get a high wadge but a fair one.
