A cake taste good because of its ingredients. A solid house needs good cement and rebar. Our players are really poor. Keeper excepted. None of our senior players is worth 30m in any currency. Auba our most valuable player, yeah, but his penalty miss effectively cost us CL last season and he cant put away the simplest chance when the chips are down. Play the kids, we could be saving 4m per-week on wages and still be at the same performance levels this season, if only we had a more insightful manager and club management. Only in defence do we need to still with some has beens because all our kids there are crocks. We as a football club are akin to Mclaren in F1. Used to be a good team but no matter what they do now they are always also rans.

This team has no alternative attack strategy than give it to Auba....and when Auba goes missing then what. Other teams including lowly ones in the EPL can count on 1 or 2 goals from midfield or defence. We have literally nothing. So Xhaka has not been his woeful self. Can we not improve on him or stick with his stagnant passing from a static position for next season and beyond. Glad I didnt watch it cos it wasnt even shown in these parts. I was certain that we would win. I should have known better.

I have seen nothing from Arteta and these set of players that he constantly picks to see that next season would be any better than this. It could be worse as other teams will seek to improve while we only hope to keep Auba.
