How is Mislintat's signings doing?
Well enough, right now. Could score more goals, but the guy who was supposed to do that did his complete knee in a pre season friendly. Sven is doing good at Stuttgart.

Look at the reaction to the transfer window. Eventually Josh made a statement and went on a signing spree.Yep. The fans have proved in the past two years that they have the appetite to force change, no matter how ugly.
I feel we've been saying something of this nature for over a decade now. Truth is these players we have aren't good enough for where we need to be.
Standards have dropped at this club to a place where average is good enough and journeyman players who wouldn't have sniffed a starting place in 2008 let alone in 2004 are being hailed as great players. This is despite game after game of the same mistakes and failures.
Yes players are played out of position, but most of them don't have it in them to go up three or four levels.
The next manager will have to do a clearout in my opinion.
Are they that bad though? Take last Saturday for example, how many of that Leicester team are better than the players we have? I would take at least 2 of Maddison, Tielemans and Ndidi but apart from that I think we have equal or better players everywhere else. They have a balanced, settled team playing in a distinct system and that is the difference to me. Do Sheffield United have one single player who would get in out XI, I would say no chance and yet they are outperforming us too at the moment.
Leicester and Sheffield United aren't the standard.
Man City and Liverpool are. How many of our players would get into their teams?
In fact I think we overrate our players. Would any of us have taken Aguero/David Villa over RVP around 2009? Sometimes we get attached to our players when it would be better to take another player of similar quality because they're more likely to stay fit or put in more consistent performances.
one of the big name candidates could be off the table soon
Auba wouldn’t get into the Liverpool team if everyone is fit.Auba would get on City's bench and Liverpool's starting XI. That's it for our entire squad.
Won't matter if we fluke into winning EL as we'll end up there next year anyways after getting spanked in the group stage. Top 4 wouldn't actually be over if we had a competent manager.Just need to get behind the team, despite the manager, now. He’s here to stay.
Get behind what though, I don’t know, top 4 is over and EL is now a vehicle for Emery to save his job.
My last FIFA game I've had has been 18 on PS3, there is a big difference between new players & previous original players, this squad now is so much more competitive then FIFA 18, Saka, Pepe, Martinelli, Willock (stats today) Guendouzi (stats), Tierney, Cellabos (despite loan) Luiz are so much more competitive then the players in FIFA 18. We should be competing so much higher with this squad we have this year. Why aren't we?

This is the effect Arsenal is having on some fans. They're beginning to lose their mind and all sense of reality. Rough times ahead.My last FIFA game I've had has been 18 on PS3, there is a big difference between new players & previous original players, this squad now is so much more competitive then FIFA 18, Saka, Pepe, Martinelli, Willock (stats today) Guendouzi (stats), Tierney, Cellabos (despite loan) Luiz are so much more competitive then the players in FIFA 18.

I'll take big Mik if he brings Foden and Sane with him
