Yes, and they are currently dispatching the Toon. Not bad for a team that looked like they were on the downturn not so long ago. We are lucky this season i guess that there are a few teams worse than us.
They are (badly timed post by me)! You are right this season is a strange one probably because of Covid having such a significant effect.
There's a number of things, including covid that make this truly a season (and year) to forget.
The toon have lost their last nine now? 7 points clear of Flum.
Yes, and all the talk is of them going down. Didn't we only have one win in 9?
Sorry, last nine in all competitions for the toon, but it shows that they're on a pretty slippery slope. One win in nine, with two draws for us.Yes, and all the talk is of them going down. Didn't we only have one win in 9?
Yes i know, hence me mentioning it a couple of posts up. It's perfectly reasonable to suggest we can do the same. We have quality players like they have. They just need to play as a team!
I’ll take that kind of turnaround!!
As I've said before, I don't think anyone who wasn't just making mischief (like BFS) ever thought Arsenal would be part of a relegation battle. When was the last time a team their size was?
This squad and team including Nuno and his backroom staff are more than capable of doing it, i know some fans don't want to hear it and we definitely need to sign players (in the summer for me) but Nuno is right when he says the solutions are here, they are here as he and the squad have more than enough ability to get more out of themselves and get the required improvement we all want to see.
It's more a confidence thing right now. A run of bad results, plus bad referreeing, plus shit luck don't do wonders for that. We desperately need Raul back and how he was. Not sure if he will be back to how he was straight away though. I highly doubt we'll buy anyone this window.
A disappointment probably because we progressed to far too quick i think. It lulled us into a false sense of security.
Perhaps the club and Nuno too?
Maybe them too. Getting into Europe 3 years into a 10 year plan probably more so.
I think all of those things are an issue right now. If we were getting better results etc would the players be making so many errors probably not but without a doubt the biggest issue is how we're set up in each game and far too often we're not quite getting it right yet even with that we're only losing out by those small margins.
For sure it wasn't luck we progressed. I just think it was above what they thought at the beginning of Fosun's tenure. For them and us.
Personally i don't think we've got the right approach, set up or players with the 4 at the back. I do think Nuno is capable of finding the right approach and set up and i think we have the players capable of performing better and getting better results at the club. Whether that all gets sorted is completely different.
