    Partey is proof it doesn’t really matter who we sign anymore. Bring anyone into this sterile club and they’ll swiftly lose whatever talent and drive they previously had.

    That Leicester goal where Maguire just stands there waiting for the ball to come to him while the Leicester player nips in and gets it which led directly to the goal.
    Maguire was what, £80m?! What a fraud.
    He'd been rushed back from injury by his moron of a manager, hard to blame him for that specific game.

    kind of agree, it's hard to forgive the wayward shooting but overall everyone looked pretty aimless yesterday and just making it up as they went along, as usual no plan, no structure

    for example Pepe was really bright but ended up being isolated and not able to get as much into the game despite working to track back and defend

    Same with Martinelli he was in the corner twisting and turning no way through and not one teammate was near to help, not even Tierney and we were 2-1 down at the time.

    i thought that as well. why wasnt anyone trying to help. it was a risky situation as they couldnt score from there.

    but it shows a brittle team. so few want to stand up and be counted.

    we have spent alot of money on young players. they will take time to bed in properly. some will be duds and some will be good. do we have patience as fans. would a change of manager make any difference - would a change mean a change of direction and having another couple of years to overhaul the squad.

    also what sort of midfielder is partey... i was hoping he was a powerful domineering type but that doesnt seem to be the case. he isnt defensive and he isnt offensive.

    We miss Xhaka, fact!!
    Also, Arteta has banished Guendouzi to Marseille. Guendouzi is more effective than Partey, Odegaard and Lokonga in my opinion.
    PE Teacher of a manager is failing miserably.

    Xhaka = NO

    guendouzi though i agree, he had the right spirit and wouldn't be as complacent as we got out there yesterday

    Finished 8th in a row with a fully available Xhaka.

    What can we expect this season 10th maybe without him. I doubt it. Missing Xhaka is like missing a huge wart on your face

    Exactly, if we've sunk so low as to think a player as bad as that is indispensible, there really is no hope
