What sort of strawmanning is this?Nah.. but anyone thinking we were going to be competing with those three this year, were pretty much on the voddy early
They're in a league above us..
We're in with the West Hams, Sp**s, Uniteds, Wolves, Leicester's at the moment.. and we're more than competing with them.. we ain't running.. but we're past walking.. gentle trot maybe
Salah is Henry level. Prefer Henry, but not by much
That's the Arteta fanboys way - every win, no matter how dreadful the performance, should be hyped to the moon. Every time we drop points, however, doesn't count. " We've conceeded 9 goals against City and Pool, but how do you expect us to compete? We're a young side, we've only had £210M worth of investment in the team!! "I like this model of yours.
Every defeat and lost point should be discounted.
Yep stats currently suggest we won’t better last seasons results, which doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but just far less likely given the stats of our competitors like west ham. Of course this doesn’t account for the fact that team performances can change; obviously things change if we improve our attack going forward, but we have never had an ability to do this under arteta.We're 5th because we have a every mean defense.
Not sure how long that's going to bail us out. I remember when we were third or so in Emery's second season, a lot of us were complaining about our stats but were told to shut up because " we were 3rd"
He was sacked a few months later. The table can sometimes lie. Majority of our performances this season haven't been convincing. We've just been lucky that that we're pretty much getting a free run at fourth place seeing as united, Sp**s and Leicester are struggling. If those teams wake up and rediscover their form, I'm pretty confident we'll end up 8th...again.
Till we ever see the change of Auba/Laca, it's gonna be the same thing even if you put Pep or Tuchel or whoever leading it. Any attack link up passing through the 2 is just mediocre no matter how I see it.Yep stats currently suggest we won’t better last seasons results, which doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but just far less likely given the stats of our competitors like west ham.

Yeah possibly but I think it's probably a combination of players and managerTill we ever see the change of Auba/Laca, it's gonna be the same thing even if you put Pep or Tuchel or whoever leading it. Any attack link up passing through the 2 is just mediocre no matter how I see it.
It's not a daft thing to say at all. He is Henry level. Thierry was a singular, unique player - one of the best in the Premier League. And Salah is as well. His PL numbers are insane.? Salah is the best player in the world right now
Is any 3 points easy these days for us?
Easy 3 points while West Ham play Man City and United go to Stamford Bridge
A team with top 4 ambitions should be winning this fairly comfortably.Is any 3 points easy these days for us?
No, obviously notCan we get ASM in January?
I would take Henry over Salah in my team any day. Salah creates beautiful moments of individual brilliance like Henry, but the issue with Salah is that he actually lacks being a great ‘footballer’ sometimes in terms of his ball control, decision making with passes, etc.It's not a daft thing to say at all.
