I think their squad is pretty terrible and player ability has been considered better than it actually is as they play for Arsenal (so must be good!) Other than Aubameyang (sp!) who in their squad would get into any other top 6-8 Premier League team? their defence is poor and midfield ineffective, whilst they’ve paid well over the odds on the likes of Lacazette and Pepe who are patchy at best! if you didn’t know it was Arsenal you wouldn’t be surprised at how poor they are. Too many years of transfer failure, coupled with nothing special coming through their academy has finally come home to roost. Their fans are as entitled as Liverpool, ManUre, Spurs and Man City fans are - expecting success to be a given but the club is broken and the fans cannot see how poor they are ‘as they’re Arsenal’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at their lineup on MOTD this morning thinking it really is a shadow of what we’ve come to expect from Arsenal They won’t go down but I don’t see them troubling the top 6 any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Getting top 10 at this stage would be a minor miracle. In seasons gone by that would be a 'disaster'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years when Wenger got that he was seen as a failure. Could easily see them in bottom half on around 45 points if they gave Arteta even another month in charge as that will be nearly another 10 games.

Zatman Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Arteta has managed 34 league games now and has earned 47 points. Pretty abysmal Guy who appointed him should go as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His form has dropped off a cliff since they gave him a nice payrise. Ozil, Auba, Willian and Pepe must be on a combined £1m per week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So many mistakes they make.. stupid formation 3-4-3 so not the Arsenal way. Arsenal always dominate the midfield with a 3 its like they are famous for it. Pepe for 72mill what a joke David Luiz- why did they even buy him and then they gave him a new contract?? Xhaka- how is he still there such a fail player. Arteta needs to go and the sporting director (Edu?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2020 Pepe has scored 7 goals according to his wiki. Wesley, who cost a third of his transfer fee, and was playing for half a season in a side struggling badly, has scored 5 and got absolute pelters for it. What the **** happened to Arsenal? Don't get me wrong it's brilliant, and hilarious, but still. Even Manchester United, in their own struggles, didn't manage to be quite this bad.

They accept losing and the only players that go there are just there for the lifestyle and the salary. Winners are going elsewhere and rightly so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) They remind me so much of us post-MON, except with the fees and wages turned up to 11. Expensive bomb squad, players hiding, young-inexperienced players looking lost, each manager looking worse than the last and an American owner who clearly doesn't care anymore, things could get really bad for them.

desensitized43 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 All the talk about potential relegation is a bit premature. As funny as it is to wind the Arsenal fans up about it. Suspect they'll be mid table, maybe bottom half. The worry for Arsenal and their fans is that what looked like a slump at the club is beginning to look like decline. They have recruited so badly and the longer they spend ooutside the CL the more difficult it becomes to recruit the players you need to get back there. Suspect that's the reason they gave Auba that crazy contract, because they weren't confident they could attract a replacement if he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
