    Martinez was much more suited to playing out from the back

    And i've said before we could have got at least £10m for Leno and i think the Kroenkes would have come through on Partey regardless

    Arteta showed misguided loyalty and the club as a whole some real short-sightedness

    On the other hand, if Martinez wanted out and wasn't prepared to keep fighting for that number one spot, maybe that's the flaw that prompted the sale.

    We don't know what went on behind the scenes. We never do.

    I wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult to displace Leno. So maybe other bullshit was happening.

    There does seem to be a stench of favouritism at the club though.

    Is Martinez dead now, btw? What kind of injury did he have? A leg amputation? Wasn't playing before he got injured, isn't playing now - so I guess the injury must be terminal?

    Who is the goalkeeping coach now? They should be teaching Leno how to un-bunch his fists, open his hands and then have a try. The bloke plays as if somebody is going to jump him any minute.

    Unfortunately I already see him showing loyalties to the wrong players.

    To be fair though, look at the pile of shit he had to work with when he arrived. At least we aren't seeing Mustafi flounder around at the back. There were some managers, you know, who swore by that donkey. My guess is the culture is so fucked up at this place he's had to go with people who still have a distant memory of what the game is about. If he can rely on a guy in training and then the same guy doesn't totally fuck up on the pitch every 5 minutes, then maybe he's saying we'll start there, for stability. As the very basic model of what he's hoping to achieve.

    I'm reaching. Aren't I?

    I just can't stand seeing Xhaka in an Arsenal shirt. Why is this guy playing every league match regardless of his form. No matter how much more we play more fluid when he gets subbed, he's always guaranteed a start the next game.

    Are these managers forced to play him. Everyone but our managers seem to understand Xhaka simply aint cut out for the PL.

    And with our RB situation, again can he not see, how we play better as team and have more balance when AMN plays especially when Pepe plays ahead off him. But off course Bellerin is guaranteed a start regardless off his utter nothingness.
