Where are we after almost a decade of this?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Well quite. And Reina is only really there because I like GKs.

Although Gerrard has been good this season, second in assists only to Mata who is little bit good. And, somehow, he's played every minute of the PL so far.

I certainly can't see the likes of Shelvey taking over that mantle, though I guess I have to put my hopes into some youngsters.

Who is there left for you guys though? Wilshere?

There isn't much left at all. Too early to say about Wilshere, Jenkinson is a Gooner, but at best he is promising. There really isn't anyone else in the side that even has the prospect of being the type of Gooner allied to ability that we had in the past.

I don't think it is just us this is happening to. Most other teams are either in the same boat or heading in a similar direction.
