Tiotes Witch Doctor

Kind of think this myself but considering Son was on the left today I think Tino was the right call, horses for courses.

He was awful, particularly in the second half, hopefully some sort of fitness issue or slight injury rather than head turned and sulking, pretty much nothing he tried came off and he wasn't as quick getting back as you'd expect from him. Hopefully he sorts out whatever it is that's not right, even if it's just a patch of bad form.

Kelly has been out best player today, comfortable on the ball, solid defensively and a decent assist, really impressed by him today. Think Isak and Gordon look well off the pace, Bruno has been invisible and Joelinton just charging around like a headless chicken. Happy we are in front but we just need to turn it up a notch if we want the 3pts, hopefully Edward gets that out of them.

2/10 Shambolic, absolute amateur hour, trust in those running the club is slowly eroding.

Bloke is a clown.

The summer has been an absolute shit show, signing nobody else wouldn't surprise me in the slightest personally, there will be plenty trying to convince themselves we're ok even if we don't, but a few injuries and we are absolutely fucked.

Now you get it.

Express a none happy clap opinion about the current setup and you get the "But we once had Mike and Charnley" brigade. We've been strung along all summer by Palace and we're at a week left with no signings except a young lad to really kick on the squad. Wtf are we doing?

Our backroom setup is beginning to look very amateurish.

Never mind.

Even if he was we sold him mate.

Time to walk away, hopefully we have some decent backup targets lined up but I won't hold my breath.

2-1 win in which we'll fight back from 0-1 down at half time.

Gordon's stats weren't exactly top drawer before he moved here and with far more games under his belt, we've just got to hope he develops in a similar way Gordon has.

Almiron regen.

The sort of signing I don't mind seeing because ultimately I trust our scouting system and Howe on these sorts of young talent.... However, these are the sort of signings I want to be seeing alongside some more proven talent aswell, I know theres still time but we need at least 2-3 purples aswell if we want to aim for European football.

Tbf though, how often did he actually play at the top level for Arsenal? He's obviously going to avoid injuries if he's not playing as much. However I really do hope he's just been unlucky and he isn't Wilson in midfield form.

Looking at that picture before I was thinking just how easy it is to forget how much talent we already have in the squad going into the season, obviously we need reinforcements but there's still a lot to be positive about.

Shit keeper F.C

Shame to be letting a local lad go, but that fee is outrageous for a player who has only really shown flashes of his talent and has been regularly injured. Weve done incredibly well with this one.

Was 21/22 where we spent the bulk of our money? Getting my years mixed up, thanks for the explanation.

Am I right or wrong in thinking once the PSR deadline passes tonight it starts another 3 year cycle which will enable us to spend some money? Or is that too simplistic?

If he can match Murphy's goals/assists contribution from last season he will have had a good first PL season.

Going forward we needed an upgrade or a challenger to Pope, we ended up with barely an upgrade on Dubravka. Hopefully in time he will grow into a top goalkeeper, but if Popes shoulder injury is an intermittent issue, Trafford could end up playing a lot of games, and if he's not ready that could spell disaster.
