This is quite bad isn't it?

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's not like it's a small sample size either

richgooner1886.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nope, definitely a trend.

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wait till you remember the crap sides we couldn't beat to win league titles....

He coached an amazing game lads.

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Presume he was amazing in all those as well? or was it the ref? or injuries, or the squad? surely something else?....

regardschief.bsky.social•3 days ago

The other manager said he was amazing and he repeated it in a press conference, so that’s a win for me.

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sad times when we are now claiming the condescension from the opposition as a win

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Add in the rubbish low block sides we failed to beat to win actual league titles
A lot of evidence that the coach isn't good enough in an attacking sense
He's given us the solid defensive foundation, but no evidence beyond an outlier season in 22 that he can attack how we need to win the big titles

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think you can sack a manager for finishing 2nd/3rd in the league & reaching a UCL Semi Final

There is a ton of evidence to maybe suggest we've seen his ceiling though, he's given us the base & that might be it

Huge summer ahead, need the signings, renewals & change of approach from manager

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

That would be an unprecedented summer from Arsenal Football Club, so we'll see

I've seen this movie at #LFC. Inversely, the problem was with the defense. It's called Brendan Rodgers.

nick4768.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree on most of this. Think we only need 3 outfield signings though

Raya
Timber/white saliba Gabriel MLS
Ode rice zubi/new LCM/LW
Saka elite CF martinelli

Some cheap jobber GK/setford, timber/white, calafiori, zubi/new LCM/LW, Nwaneri, merino, havertz

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can we get everyone we need, complete renewals, not lose anyone and have a change in approach from the manager?..

I'm skeptical

nick4768.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm fairly confident on the renewals. I can't see how we can't sign a CF and have a change in approach (although there's definitely a world where he thinks running it back with havertz would have a different result).

rankingadjusted.bsky.social•3 days ago

Havertz is the elephant in the room, we know the manager would happily choose him as a hill to die on

Lost 3-1, and they missed a penalty and hit the woodwork twice. Again just a case of fine margins.
