Yes I think our squad is bang average bar a few players, defence is rubbish, midfield is lacking in areas, up front happier now we have Lacazette, no captains or leaders on top of that.
5th is nowhere, we were absolutely dreadful and the cup is no consolation for me, it's 2nd tier and not what we want after 13 years.
We're a big club, for a big club like us to get relegated takes an absolute disaster to be honest as the PL is quite frankly average quality wise, we have a few players like Alexis and a handful of others that keep us further up the table than our play deserves in all honesty. 5th place for a club is failure in every sense considering the resources at our fingertips as is 13 years without genuinely competing which is ultimately what all fans of big clubs want, I don't expect to win every season but expect us to compete so that we have a chance.
I think Arsene Wenger is a walking disaster to be honest and have done for a long time, anyone who does what he has done turning a hugely successful team into a failure whilst changing all the successful aspects has got to be clueless in my book, why else would you get rid of pace, power, leadership, discipline and instead change the style of play to boring 5 yard passing football, bring in powederpuff weak players who can't mix it or tackle, settle for 2nd rate players who can't deliver at the top level and not put together a quality spine of the team you can rely on when things get tough?
Lets just hope Alexis continues to work his bollocks us off from now until he leaves. If he checks out, we're in serious trouble.
Alexis and Ozil, our 2 best players set to leave for free next summer. An ideal situation some would call it.
Dangerous last 3 hours. Because if we can find some godawful piece of shit and spin him up as a replacement for Alexis then, I must tell you, we will do it.
Mixed feelings about Alexis staying now. He must be gutted but I think he'll put 100% into the season because that's the sort of player he is. I wonder though, will he still want to play through the injuries?
And I really don't think Alexis can make much difference to the absolute mess we have going on. It won't hurt, but even with him firing on all cylinders we could only grab 5th last year.
In some ways we'd have been better off letting him go, NOT signing anyone, keeping the cash and fucking Wenger out the door by Christmas. But that's wishful thinking and there would be no guarantees the club would spend the cash anyway.
