I’d Timber is on the bench and we are fit, one of Vieira, Nketiah or ESR will be joining Nelson VIP

    kiwior held down the fort manfully, but it really feels like a settled timber would've done bits in this team from that LB position. he's so good on the ball, I think arteta was banking on him having an alexander-arnold type of impact on our build up play

    Qwiss would make sense to leave a defender out.

    Arteta can never have too many defenders.

      I liked his little cameo. I think he will break some ankles and unbalance teams that try to press us next season. slot him in at LB and use tomi as his utility back up.

        Rival fans say we've had no injuries this season but this guy would have been a game changer. Watch him raise our game next season.

          Gurgen if he'd started the season, played 3 months and then gotten injured everyone would have realised what a big loss he was. We missed out on the title by 2 points, he was definitely worth that.

              100 percent. Show some damn intent. Hate players who come on and pussy foot about. Timber looks like he has something about him.

                Gurgen Absolutely, I think he was essential for the progress of this team and so cruel that he missed the entire season.

                  Qwiss left back was our most volatile position this season, and partially responsible for the unsettled left side of the field. A lot of what-ifs. Big summer for Timber.

                      Claudius look I don't really go for those what-ifs, everyone had injuries I just hate the narrative that we didn't. At the end of the day I look at my United, Liverpool, etc mates using it as an excuse and I don't accept it from them so I don't accept it for us either. Top teams need to be adaptable and have depth. Its not like we were playing academy kids in defence.

                          Was gutted when he got injured. So happy they seem to have managed his recovery in the best way and he got to play a part in the last match.

                          Really hoping he can have a great pre-season and push on to be a real contributor next season 🙏🏼

                          Qwiss no we weren’t playing academy kids in defense. But your team has to be a different level if you’re chasing 90 versus those teams chasing 70.
                          I have United fans laughing at us this morning, and I’m thinking do you guys realise that only Bruno Rat Face Fernandes is at the quality to get big minutes at City/Arsenal? They’re in for a rude shock.

                              Claudius United are terrible and I think they'll get worse. So little quality in that side.

                                That being said, remember playing him also included Partey as RB and Gabriel on the bench.

                                I wonder what Arteta will do next year on that front. Hard to look beyond what Saliba/Gabriel have produced. Easier to see how you can upgrade on White, not in terms of intrinsic quality, but in terms of versality going forward. Will be interesting to see what Tet's thinking is.
