Mayyybe the decided to replace Suarez for Griezman, don't think there is room for Griezman, Coutinho, Suarez, Dembele and Messi. But this is big maaaybe, and I also don't believe we will buy him.
Only 'posistive' is Liverpool and Tottenham are inconsistent as hell also so we have a chance at top 4. And we won't have to worry about CL soon so less games to play
Let's not pretend that being able to pick a pass when having tons of space makes Kante good in attacking (and his behaviour when he gets space to shoot is laughable). But if we would have only one player of that type that would be ok, however Baka is even level below.
Unfortunately Cesc can't play in 2 man midfield and Barkley is looking far from ready to play in PL yet.
Him and Kante make 2 players who completely unable to offer anything in attact - not creating, dribbling, shooting, playing quick passes, not even dreaming of playing quick 1-2s..
I know Arsenals defense is shit but he seems like is done, before a season I thought of him as a good option for backup, right now I'm not sure I would swap him for Willy. Don't know what Arsenal were thinking sending Szczesny away.
I think some players just want to try (and risk to fail) with bigger clubs (and win some more trophies). After his career is over he would think 'at least I try' instead of thinking 'What if...'
Exactly, not loosing stupidly ball and be solid defensively is MINIMUM he should be doing. He is doing nothing more. In what aspect is he better than Mikel?
Yeah, but he still can't play quick pass or play long pass. Still can't bring quickly the ball to final third (and one good dribbling won't change that). Right now we have 2 midfielders who can't create.
Baka in first XI, exhausted Alonso in first XI, our only offensive option from the bench is Batshuayi and maybe Barkley who hasn't play this season yet. No Musonda, 3 defenders on the bench.. it will be difficult evening
