It's annoying though because despite that, with City dropping off a cliff the only real competitor this year is Liverpool. Had Salah not been in beast mode all season they wouldn't be above us. We have been a bit unlucky, you can blame Arteta up to a point if you like, I'm not sure what I think about that, but there has to be an element of bad luck in all our strikers being out long term at the same time.
Had no issue with the likes of Vieira, Eddie and ESR going, the issue was not signing anyone to fill those gaps. Sterling was just a random punt because the opportunity to get a body in was there. It was poor planning. We started the season short and simply gambled that we’d have the same luck as last season.
It’s backfired horribly. Saying that, we’ve been behind Liverpool all season and never chipped away at the gap even with our first choice forwards available. So as far as I’m concerned this season has been a huge waste and the only positives I’ve taken out of it so far is that Nwaneri and MLS have established themselves when they may not have had the opportunity to do so if it weren’t for the injuries.
In fairness I’m saying what I’m saying about those players with the benefit of hindsight. I liked ESR but I thought made sense to sell him at the time, wanted Nketiah gone. Don’t think Vieira is good enough, certainly don’t think Nelson is good enough.
I just think looking back, it would have been helpful to have those players available to us in certain champions league games, certain league cup games etc so that we didn’t have to be playing the likes of Havertz twice a week.
Tommy has had a second op, so gone for rest of season and recovery period will run into next season.
Für eure Sicherheit
I'm guessing by now we're resigned to the fact no-one will buy him, so we may as well keep him and see if he can at least be a useful squad player for haldf a season or a season, if and when he recovers
It's a real shame, he's a very good and useful player
Nwaneri fit for Forest. He limped off with cramp, not an injury.
Für eure Sicherheit
don't worry he'll get injured soon enough, I'm sure
That's good news. We can't serve up another performance as bad as West Ham (and most of the game against Leicester), can we

It’s confirmed that Gabriel will miss the remainder of the season with a hamstring tear and requires surgery.
What a fucking joke.
