Arsenal are in a mess

Ox won't suit Liverpool (I think he is an ok player though), when he has to be innovative and make decisions he is at his worst. Give him a regimented system in which he can use his technique and athleticism and he would excel.

Suits a Mourinho/Conte style manager, not a Klopp/Wenger.

I for one, was sad to see him leave.

Arsenal's current style of play negates any need for pace. I'm actually struggling to remember any decent counter-attacking moves we've made.

We rely on slow build-ups and lots of ball control. Both of which the Ox visibly fails at.

Having said that, it was important to have a Plan B such as him to inject a bit of pace every now and then. You can't walk past every defence.

Matic was always a good player though. Ox has never been a good player.
Bit different.

It's true though. I like ox, I think he's talented, and can do fairly well under a good coach.

But I really can't recall any motm performances or match winning contributions from him over a 6 year period at the club. I'd certainly be a little anxious if we signed him for 40M with less than a year on his contract.

Also, it's nice to see liverpool fans (not you personally), thinking he's some great player.

"is that what you had to tell yourself to get to sleep last night?"

Huh? You actually think you pulled one over us over getting Ox?
You're in for a reality check then mate.
The guy plays 180mph football with his head down.
Find it amusing how he went from rubbish to this top end talent as soon as he signed for Liverpool.

Maybe Arsenal this season could equal Man Utd last season? Top 6 and Europa League.

If you guys can miraculously stumble through I think anyone can.

We're not in a mess. Everyone has bought the media hype after the first 3 games. We have quality in every position. This bad start is standard but usually after the bad start we're in and around the top by the end of October and I expect the same this time around.

I don't expect to win the league but we'll definitely be in and around the top 3 or 4 as usual and given the competition that's respectable. Winning the premier league is a ridiculously hard task with the spending that goes on nowadays. 5 of the top 6 are always going to be disappointed anyway

The MU board is becoming the tiny tots board Mark 2, just as sad and pathetic and full of morons!
