With the Joelinton news, I don’t think we will let this window pass without a proper addition to our midfield. Not only is the Longstaff + Miley combo not functional, any injury or suspension for any of the current 3 and we would probably see Trippier or Almiron as temporary midfielders.

It really has nothing to do with the defeat against City.

That stat is depressing, 10 games is like half of our season so far.

I would add Milan too.

Yep, the same reason why we lost many games. So much space between midfield and defense.

It is better for us if Liverpool wins the cup, if any of the other teams win it, then they would qualify to the Europa Conference League as EFL champions, and that means there would be fewer seats from the league that would qualify to Europe.

Not to forget how more playtime would be crucial to realize his full potential.

Based n the logic of some fans, Arsenal should fire Arteta since he won a single game in his last 7 matches.

It’s not really about his pace, it’s the fact that all 3 midfielders move up and no one stays back for cover. Even if Bruno was faster, we would still have the same problem.

And a better medical team.

We lost the midfield as soon as Joe left the the match, and he was also injured during the bad run we just had in the last few weeks. It is clear to me that a CM/DM is the most important thing we have to sort out in this window.

Now I have seen it all, Almiron made a low cross with his right foot. It was shitty of course but it finally happened.

I think Longstaff and Miley don’t play well together.

Barnes is literally like a new signing.

This has been the slowest January window since the takeover.

Probably we would be down by 5 if it wasn’t for him.

Dubs has been magnificent.

I said it before, we had no player where a DM should be standing and providing cover. Joelinton lost the ball and Bruno was too far ahead, and there was a huge empty space between our defenders and midfield.

We have received many similar goals this season, and I think not having a sitting midfielder definitely played into that. How many times did it happen when all of our 3 midfielders are in and around their penalty area only for us to lose the ball and have their players run through the centre of the park unchallenged all the way to our penalty area. I understand our style of constant running should prevent this, but it also allows for such goals if a mistake is made.

Tino is just something else. A+ signing for sure.

Confirmed?

Hope Barnes is coming back soon.

Yeah we don’t have wingers to come in for Gordon, should we try 3-5-2?

Fuck Gordon doesn’t look good.

Am I the only one who felt heartbroken all over again after seeing the draw?
