In the past 10 years I’ve never once believed Arsenal would fall out of the top 4. This season I’m concerned we won’t even make top 6.
I probably could have saved myself a lot of time and effort by just giving everybody a 0 and saying ‘f**k you, Arsenal’ which, I’m not gonna lie, was a really tempting option,
But, ever the professional, here are my ratings from Arsenal’s latest humiliation on the day that a back three died at Arsenal.
Manager
Arsene Wenger 2
If we thought he was trolling us with his lineup against Stoke last week, against Liverpool Wenger showed us that we have no clue about anything. Leaving Kolasinac and Lacazette on the bench, he persisted with a left-back at centreback, despite having a £35m German centreback on the bench. At left wing back we played our right back and on the other flank we played a right winger who wants to leave.
Wenger continues to insist that Granit Xhaka is a deep-lying play maker and that Danny Welbeck is a striker.
On top of that, the players, all of whom have played together for at least one season, look like they’ve never met and have no clue what they are supposed to be doing, with or without the ball.
I love you, Arsene, but you gotta go.
