  1. Last season I wanted ECL more than EL because of the chances of winning it. But who’s to say we’ll win? Now we’re almost there, but even if we went to the final nothing is guaranteed. For me I’d say winning Europa is better than getting out from the first stage in CL (if it was the old way I’d look at entering CL then get 3rd and join Europa). However, nothing is guaranteed, so getting to CL is a guaranteed success, good financially, showing the project to everyone. Especially if we can win ECL this season, that would do for trophies for now.
  2. All have benefited, Leicester just didn’t have the consistency, had they qualified two times they were near, it would’ve been different. Spurs has been a top 6 club just because they featured a lot there, otherwise they’ve won nothing. Newcastle has been helped financially and players/people are recognizing them as a project going forward.
  3. Martinez/Olsen Cash/Kosta Konsa/Carlos Torres/Mings Dinge/Moreno Kamara/? McGinn/Luiz/Youri Diaby/Bailey Rogers/Ramsey/Buendia Watkins/Duran Those are probably the main players we’ll have, then you got: Tim, Archer and whoever from the kids. For me, it might need another a left defender who can do what Torres does (I’d like to find someone like Konsa when we got him). Then a DM who plays good football, won’t be easy to find. But here we need a starter as Kamara won’t be back anytime soon. I think those are the main two signings. Then you’ve got a right back to upgrade on Cash, or a left if we’re looking at selling Dinge. I won’t be very keen on getting if Watkins and Duran were fit, but if Archer wasn’t sold I might keep him until winter if needed. I think with Ramsey and Buendia back while having Rogers, I’m not sure if getting a right winger would be particularly good thing. However Emery knows who’ll add to the system.
  4. I think what our players experienced is much bigger than many, it grew their characters aswell. McGinn (our captain) and Mings, they’ve been in a big turn around season in promotion, Luiz and Konsa almost relegated with us and all saw us through. Then Martinez matured with us until he won Argentina things they haven’t won for around 30 years. With Watkins improving his whole game. Then you got Bailey who was up and down until he beaten his non confidence to become a player every team fear. Both Kamara and Torres had CL experiences. Our captain promoted with the team, then fought not to relegate, then had a good team for Grealish to go and Gerrard to mess things up. Then he comes back stronger to lead the team back to Europe (in a season where we failed to even score well), many players matured through that journey. I guess character wise we’re one of the best. Even new players are getting that mentality, ofcourse Emery is helping much.
  5. I was just come to write we want more Rogers signings If we can find one or two we’d have done really well.
  6. It shows what squad game is all about. Some games we might not need to begin both Kamara or Luiz, but both are our best CM’s. I think Emery and the players are understanding their qualities more, and with much choices, I think Emery would rotate even more than this season.
  7. The goal was great. Since I watched him against Wolves, I knew he’d add a lot to the team. Just didn’t know how soon will he do that, or when will Emery give him a proper chance. Now everyone will start wanting him to start each game.
  8. Great win and performance, the team has character, especially coming from behind. Now a needed rest for the team, Luiz getting back would be huge, Chelsea will be a tough team to play. Arsenal will be tired playing Spurs, we can’t fully rely on them, although hopefully Arsenal could win that. Last game against Chelsea was bad, let’s hope Emery can read them better this time. A win with Spurs losing could give alus a breathing space to focus on Europe.
  9. I don’t think anyone is taking it for granted, actually most know it’s going to be really tough with their form and our players being tired. That’s why playing the likes of Tim can help on that matter.
  10. I’m not bothered to think if he’ll be sold or not, I think if he plays against Bournemouth and help us win, and somehow help another win, then that would worth a full season from him, now when it’s getting tougher. These 7/8 games, are equivalent to a full season really. The amount of pressure (Emery called it opportunity rather than pressure) but anyway, the situation is getting tougher and our weakest link is DM.
  11. He helped us a lot in the last two months, kept improving.
  12. We won’t know what Arsenal does against Spurs, losing next two would give the a huge boost before they play same number of games as us. Thinking of all outcomes is scary, but if we win it would be totally different and interesting.
  13. The more I think about Bournemouth, the more stress I get, possibly the fact Spurs aren’t playing. We have to rotate at this game, we can’t just play the usual team. I think our squad could handle this game at home, with some players coming second half. Winning this would give us a huge confidence and rest before Spurs play, then playing a tough match against Chelsea. Really hope we could grind the win, not sure at all how, but hopefully we do.
  14. Exactly, him, Diaby, Bailey, Zaniolo (if fit), Duran, Carlos and Tim all can be good to start Sunday (atleast rotate some of them). I don’t think our regular starters will be able to keep their performances this high after a tough last week. Without Moreno we can’t do anything regarding left back as well so we have to rotate other areas.
  15. Still long season, another 7 games (hopefully become 8 with winning the final in Athens). All in a short space of time. Hopefully he’s available for Sunday, wether start or from bench, we just need everyone fit.
