I’m struggling to see how we’re better next season without Jorginho and Partey, with only
Zubimendi in. That looks like a downgrade to me.

      It kills me that even when United are relegation candidates we're not thumping them. I've been dining off that 3-0 (with Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Cazorla at their best) in 2015 for too long. The cowardice with which Arteta plays against United in the last two seasons is unbearable.

          daredevil Get in a bloody creative midfielder too and get the players making runs into the sodding box. So bloody static.

            Sicario2 - Tier 1 well, the fact that this is the worst United team I can remember and we've come away lucky not to lose to them.

            I respect your right to be angry on the frequent occasions you are, let me by angry now if I want to be

            For the record, I have calmed down a bit now. 😃

                RocktheCasbah good.

                I think we are in this weird psychological place as a team where we know that we won’t win the league but will still get top 4 which leads to weird games like today. Whereas, in the CL the players just seem more hungry, fresh and know it’s a legit trophy we can win and seem more determined in that tournament.

                Most of our best games this season have been in CL imo.

                    mohan they will of course be the out right favourites but it will be like Rocky 1 - we would be so much the underdog that it’s almost a free hit.

                    Anyway, worst teams have won the CL (Liverpool 2005, Chelsea 2021) than this current Arsenal side. Having Saka back is also huge.

                        Feels like a Bizarro Wenger phase season.

                        We’ll get mushroom tapped by either Madrid side.

                        We carry next to no goal threat and don’t have moments of magic. An issue which Arteta highlighted post the Bayern loss. Why the issue hasn’t been addressed I won’t understand.

                        I feel like I’ve overdosed on Trossard and Martinelli

                          lorddulaarsenal perfectly said. Why did we not power up the fucking attack after even Arteta was saying how we needed to do it post-Bayern?

                          It's beating a dead horse now but it's still mind-blowing.

                              daredevil -- Jorginho hasn't factored in at all this season. I get your point about Partey, but that's where the trade off begins and ends.

                                Panda at this point, Martinelli feels like another warm body and no more. Hasn't looked consistently threatening for a good two seasons now.

                                  Sicario2 - Tier 1
                                  We're going out in the next round no matter who are we going to play against. Every year people post here how we can win EL or CL disregarding that we are a level or two below the very top teams and Arteta's very bad record in cup competitions.
