    our away league games
    Brighton
    Leicester
    Newcastle
    Man U
    Huddersfield
    anyone confident about winning any of them?

    might as well focus on the Europa league... and that can be Wengers parting gift to us.

    We lost to Cologne despite playing more or less the same team we’d played throughout the group stage

    Not especially confident of winning away from home whoever we are drawn with

    Ostersunds away? If we can’t get a result at West Brom, Notts Forest or Bournemouth why should we be confident of playing ten degrees below freezing and not getting beat?

    They are unbeaten at home in Europe

    Given our away form I wouldn't say confident, but all things being equal we should be winning most of those, bar Utd.

    We park the bus more than Mourinho.
    Was that the time when we thought we'd done great, even though they were there for the taking, then everyone else and his dog took points of them at the Bridge?

    That's the sad part, the players we have bought in their early to mid 20's seem to be absolute garbage.

    Xhaka and Mustafi's stock is really low right now...we would struggle to get a good fee for either of them and certainly wouldn't get back what we paid for them. Kolasinac seems to be going the same way, Elneny the same too, though he came here out of the bargain basement anyway so any fee would be a plus.

    That's 3 or arguably 4 players right there that Wenger has either ruined or not progressed.

    Not...really. Since we played them they lost the next home game to City. Then they won the next 7 in a row. Only side of note was Utd:

    L City
    W Watford
    W Man Utd
    W Swansea
    W Newcastle
    W Southampton
    W Brighton
    W Stoke
    D Leicester
    L Bournemouth

    They've wobbled in the last 2 home games and their home record is not that of champions but generally it's not true to say that they've been dropping points left, right and centre at home.

    Chelsea have been average this season, they might have won a few games but they've looked a shadow of the side they were last season. They've been very beatable, thought they were awful against us in the Caraboa, toothless and short of ideas, even before that although they won games they weren't playing great.

    Other than City everyone else has been hit and miss or average. Liverpool and Spurs are the next best sides, but they have been inconsistent, but quality wise they're the next best, then Man U and then Chelsea who are the weakest of those sides IMO.

    Liverpool and Spurs may well be City's challengers next season and possibly Man U if Mourinho gets things right over the summer.

    I wouldn’t disagree

    I think Liverpool are the most entertaining team, but are beatable. Spurs have done well in Europe albeit against Real Madrid and Dortmund who have had very dysfunctional seasons.

    In fairness though City have dropped ten points all season, that’s ridiculous. No one was getting near them this season.

    Chelsea are destined to be inconsistent whilst they maintain their policy of sacking managers at the drop of a hat. No conte hasn’t done well this season, but for me you don’t sack a manager who won the title the previous season unless he’s going to get you relegated.

    I’m not sure why they got themselves into the situation they did with Diego Costa
