We are at completely different stages. Arteta is 6 years at Arsenal and is possibly about to win first title. Klopp also waited around 5 years. So there are a lot of similarities actually but our fans want it all and want it now. Think about Chelsea in 3 years. Penders 23 Sarr 23 Acheampong 22 Colwill 25 Hato 22 Fofana 27 Cucurella 30 James 28 Gusto 25 Enzo 27 Caicedo 26 Lavia 24 Santos 24 Palmer 26 Estevao 21 Pedro 27 Neto 28 Garnacho 24 Gittens 24 So that team will have perfect mix of experience and majority players being at their prime. Plus add a couple of great players we could add there just like Arsenal did when they reached that level. Or later in 5 or 7 years? We have great base that can dominate English football for years.

Only thing that saves Arsenal winning the league is by us winning the champions league. And sure as shit the latter won’t happen.

Yeah we will surprise the big the teams and get humbled by the little teams who work miles harder than us

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment of the game. We never parked the bus and the match wasn't "an unwatchable shitfest". We're a lot better than you're giving us credit for, we'll surprise a lot of teams this season.

.....but he's good behind the scenes and is ideal for the owners wage structure He's fucking rubbish

"To start with, they need to keep clean sheets in their next three games against Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland simply to match the three goals Chelsea had conceded after 11 games" So they've done one of those already... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce3xqv0k6xgo

Tried to stay away from this place yesterday, I mean what the actual fuck was that all about? I was travelling home from my sons game he was a linesman for a newcastle game in the academy, the guy on the radio said we took the lead, when they went back to Scott Minto he kept saying Sunderland are all over us....I turned and said to my lad "this has a Sunderland win all over it" he said to me "why" I said because they will come at us and we have no idea how to cope with teams who go at us and we are young naive...within second it's 1-1, we arrive back home and the more it stayed 1-1 you could smell it coming I have no words with this lot, absolute fucking wankers they are

they were all listed on the Sr squad roster bottom line Tosin is nowhere good enough to be our starter but he is not the worst CB we have had in the last 5, 7 years

Fermin Lopez scores again in El Clásico this time

its the difference between a club that really want challange for titles and the club that want to buy young players with the hope that one day they can fight for the league

They are going to beat our goals conceded record arent they! Fuck off Arsenal.

4 point gap. And between them and City etc its 6..they were always going to eventually go all the way Ive seen predictions about them beating our record and obs long long long way to go but 3 against having played Liverpool,City and Man U.

Arsenal will walk the league. This is clear now. Just 3 goals conceded after 9 games. With this tempo our record of 15 goals in danger.

Half these guys didn't play a single game

Guess Man U aren't in a crisis anymore..and instead are above us. Boo

Wasn't Fofana on the bench for the game? Sort of surprised that he didn't get subbed on for the last 10-15

If JP is injured, why is he playing every game? No point having a player out there just to make up the numbers. The problem with the whole squad is the lack of experience to get them across the line in tight games. If Tosin, Chalobah and Sanchez are your 'experienced' guys who are supposed to keep the Under-23 boys in check, we are in alot of trouble. I get the business model and investing in youth but you need 2-3 quality players of that 28-31 age group to help the youngsters out. Its not like Estevao and co will pop-up with brilliance every single game, thats where a fit Palmer is so sorely missed.

It is crazy to think that our "oldest" players are Tosin, Cucurella and Sanchez and in all honesty, only one of them should be a guaranteed starter 😆 Imagine if we had the experience of Kovacic/Jorginho/Kante/Cesc in the midfield to help these young guys or even the likes of Cahill/Luiz/Rudiger at the back

It is tricky because without Caicedo, the team is so much worse. Especially with Lavia and Essugo not around. Doesn’t have the luxury of resting Caicedo at the moment. re: the attackers. JP is injured and Liam is out. They were considered upgrades. The wingers we all thought were dodgy

Obviously another ex Man City player…. Good potential but enough of the Joe Shields recommendations. Would steer clear of any u23 attackers/midfielders/defender in the next window. Go get a top GK, CB & attacker who is 24-28 and isn’t going to need 2 seasons to come good for fuck sake. Not hard. Or we will be this up and down team again and again. Bit of proven quality would go a long way…

He has previous running players into the ground, as seen with Cole last season. He really shouldn’t be so stupid to take the chance with Caicedo in particular given how key he is, or the other 2 given how one is already notorious for being injury prone. Or is this his way of showing the board he has no use for Essugo & Santos? Ok Essugo is injured as of now also but again if Maresca is trying to prove a point he really is rolling the dice with Caicedo who we absolutely cannot take any chances with. Without him & Palmer we have no top players at all. The attacking players - who some seemed to think were massive upgrades and would fire us to a title challenge LMAO - also cannot be relied on, clearly. Going to keep saying it, experience in key positions is absolutely necessary, top GK, top CB and a top wide player/centre forward in that first 11 today and we probably win. By 2 or 3.

If Maresca restores the Tosin Chalobah CB partnership over Acheampong, then he really is an idiot and deserves the treatment he's been getting from our sporting directors.

Yep horrendous player. Squad player at best. And even then, you’d rather Chalobah, Badiashile, Fofana ahead of him in pecking order for a squad place. Never seen a CB that tall who is afraid of attacking the ball or physically engaging his opposite number. Absolutely wank.

I honestly think he is on level with Sarr and Disasi. But some of the older ones you mentioned... Yeah certainly worse. Michael Hector lmao
