Never did it. Season was over when Odegaard got hurt. It became even further over when we lost Saka. Done well to hang in there up till now I think. Only hope we don't run the likes of MLS, Nwaneri into the ground as well, for no reason.

    Every game is going to be like this one now without a goal theat. The league is gone but the concern now is the inability to score will see us dragged down into a battle for the CL places.

    flobaba it’s a big concern. Small team with lots of gaps. The remaining players will all suffer. Even someone like Nwaneri should ideally still only be playing 30s or 60s. Not big minutes every 3 days.

      I feel the opposite, this Liverpool team is simply not that good. Salah is having an all time season and dragging them over but if we got our act together and without injuries I still think we'd finish above them.

      Injuries and our summer window has cost us big time. We let Vieira, ESR and Eddie go and did not bring in a single attacking player, simply not good enough.

        Sicario2 - Tier 1 Difficult to argue we'd have got less out of ESR who has made 24 appearances (out of 26 games) with 5 goals and 2 assists than Sterling who has, well, technically stepped on the pitch a few times. Certainly agree the 3 needed an upgrade, but they were all jettisoned with no replacements and our starters in those positions are now all crocked because they were run into the ground with noone to rotate them with or sub them off for.

          Sicario2 - Tier 1 I doubt they would have done fuck all but that isn't the point. The reason we have no Saka, Havertz and Martinelli is because we ran them into the ground, we had nobody to rotate them with. Even if it last 20-30 mins of a game that all adds up.

            It's over and I actually feel a little relieved. Can take my mind off football for a couple of months and start to dream again in the summer hoping for an Isak only to end up with a Sterling mk2.

              Tam i would rather manage some of our players into health ready for PSV right now. Obviously we cannot afford to plummet, but I want to ensure that Rice and Odegaard look like some version of their best selves by the time that game comes around.

              And then it would be good if we can discover. It would be great to see good time given to all of Merino, Zinchenko, Calafiori, Bulter-Oyedeji and White, so that we can have capacity in the wars to come.

                Yeah, he's going to say that but if you saw the team against West ham they were not a team that looked like they believed there was anything left in the league to play for. I could see us getting beat by Forest with the general feeling coming from the players. This feels like a very well known arsenal outcome that we've seen before.

                Tam He has to say that, can't really come out and say its over lads lets focus on the summer instead.

                Sickening thing is without the injuries I think we win the title but the club has to share the responsibility for not having enough numbers, injuries are part and parcel of the game.
