That's actually pretty fair, man. And, despite my criticism of him I clearly want him to make me look stupid as fuck. Getting better players around him, particularly a better striker could help him a lot. I'm not sure how that helps his lack of directness or woeful shooting but it could certainly help with his decision making. Here's hoping.

You've said yourself though, it's the most blunt arsenal team in modern history, which it clearly is, but he's been the one constant in it. People don't seem to reconcile these two facts at all, man. Blows my mind.

His effort going back the way is pathetic anaw. I've naw even mentioned that.
