At least I didn’t have to sit locked in my bedroom for months worrying about the new invincibles
The turnaround over the last two seasons is absolutely insane. Genuinely world class squad management by Arteta and Edu and fantastic effort from Josh Kroenke to support it.
We essentially don’t have a weak link in any part of the pitch. It’s not like during Wenger where we sacrificed the attack for our defence or our midfielder for our attack etc. and where we always had 3-4 players in the starting lineup that had no business being there.
I never have an “oh god, X Player is going to cost us the game” feeling of worry now. Every player and their backup are genuinely brilliant and while the jury is still out on Vieira and ESR etc. Arteta has my full trust in being able to get the absolute best out of them - and if not he’ll move them on asap and get someone in who does reach the required level.
It’s such an amazing feeling - and the crazy thing is how many players we’ve had out injured this season from our bench and starting lineup and yet we’ve still been able to maintain this level.
Absolutely incredible - if we sign 1-2 additional players in the summer and don’t lost any key players we’re going to be unstoppable. Our quality of depth with be on par with City.
I’ve been saying this for a while and the best is yet to come given the age profile of these players. We can literally go into the transfer market now and target top quality upgrades or try and invest in good younger players with potential.
We have given ourselves the best opportunity to become the dominant PL team over the next few years.
TOP OF THE LEAGUE
Is TOP OF THE LEAGUE and in the CL quarters to good to be true for the Arsenal at the March international break ?
We HAVE to capitalise on this now. Can’t afford anymore fuck ups. 8 EPL wins in a row, when was the last time we did that!?
I still maintain that we’ll lose out, but man, they’ve done an impressive number on this club given where we were 4 seasons ago.
Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs would swap situations in a heartbeat.
I hope the boys have the mettle to bring back 1 or 2 trophies this season! COYG!
Second year in a row we are top before the run in begins after the final international break of the season
Still a couple of players from being the finished article but bwoy do I love our trajectory. Genuinely a couple of players from being a title winning team !?
What a good feeling to wake up Top of the League
And realising City aren’t all that at the moment
High hopes for the game with them
My concern is the game being after the international break. Hopefully our rythm and flow hasn’t been disrupted.
if it affects us, it will also affect City.
This March/April international break comes every year, and never appears to affect City. Must be a mentality thing, I wonder what their team talks are like during the final stretch of a league campaign.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the table finished the way it is now, 3 teams all within a point of each other.
Best title race in forever is it keeps up.
Arsenal 90 Liverpool 90 City 89 will do.
We are absolutely stacked in the defensive area. Saliba, Gabriel, White, Tomi, Timber, Kiwior and Zinchenko. A wonderful mix of different tools for Tets to play with. 1 or 2 of these will se very little playing time though, and will try to look elsewhere eventuallly.
No Arsenal till the end of the month
We really need to get Partey and at least one other defender fit and firing for the run in.
Not great hitting 105 minutes and you’ve only made one sub. Players like ESR, Vieira, Nelson are on the bench for show. Arteta just doesn’t trust them.
I could use a break after that tbh
Not sure where else to put this right now given the matchday thread is some way off being made, but I’ve got a ticket to Luton at home on 3rd April, so fucking excited!!!
Awww you jammy donut!!!
I’ve given up on getting a ticket this season haha
I’ll settle for watching games at the famous cock haha
I feel a thread title change is in order, something less implying we’re still a shit show? Something more positive?
