Coombs agree I felt the arseblog discussion and point about taking some more gamble with forwards was more accurate and they don't have to be 100 mill hyped talents either. I also don't think Saka validates the coaching point because Saka is just one of those talents who will pretty much shine whatever manager.
But more telling for me are the less elite players that probably need more guidance in an attacking aspect to get the most out of them and looking at the squad I don't think I'm seeing signs that Arteta is contributing to that.
I agree that thought experiment by Elliot is totally absurd there is no guarantee that changes the outcomes and we've played enough recent games with our main squad and still struggled so the idea that's the issue at hand so reductive.
I don't think there are any excuses that you could look at our squad and not see Jesus and know he's finished for us for at least the last year. Martinelli has been performing at this level for the past 18 months. Trossard and havertz are good in the squad but limited.
4 of the offence players for me with major issues so we should have been approaching the summer as we need to do something in that area and it doesn't even have to be elite level. A bit like the Trossard signing really.
