First half of the season done and dusted! Arsenal are currently sitting 4th. It’s been a poor season so far given how well we started last season, it’s evident what the issues are.
Where do you think Arsenal will finish season 23-24 and what are your reasonings behind your prediction?
After today I reckon 3rd. Today does not represent us and last game was a fluke - put the WHU in between two wins and we’re looking at it as unlucky rather than part of a crisis. City will do better second half with KDB and they just have so many attacking players… pool will have their wobble but might just edge us down the stretch. All that is whatever. I just hate to see the points trend by us slip…. And more the issue is wtf is our football this season. Can’t really honestly say it has progressed and we should have as good defense and midfield, with no real changes to attack.
3rd but I think we are in a precarious position in terms of squad depth, so a few injuries could put us out of the top 4. We don’t have the quality in depth to fight through too many setbacks on the personnel front.
This is massively true. Despite them being shit recently, injury to Rice, Saliba, or any of our top 3 attackers and ohhh boy. Tbh the flip side could be that it elevates someone, but none of them have form atm either. We needed Eddie, Trossard, or someone like Nelson to step up.
Tbh given the level we’ve played at this season I don’t think we’re as susceptible to injuries as we were last year acrually.
No player has been so stand out (maybe Saliba) that we can’t deal without them. Partey has already been out for ages and Jesus isn’t really banging the goals in.
I’d be confident we can find a solution for almost any individual injury, just not multiple in the same spot.
Yeah fair enough, that’s the one spot we do lack any real option. Vieira had flashes earlier in the season but don’t know when he’s gonna be back and it will still be a drop off.
Yeah it will be in that range. Unfortunate year to drop our points output bc these are the years we can take it. When a City or Pool are threatening 100, it’s just not gonna happen and you congratulate them.
