At the bold, I was fine with it. I have long believed we needed to do this in the interim considering a lot of our senior players have not displayed the work rate and quality this season either. It wasn't entirely great but I have no complaints and I'm proud of them. Will continue to advocate for them.Martinelli was the most dangerous on the pitch but no one was clinical enough or even gave a sense that we could score. 0-0 isn't bad but nothing to applaud, seems as though problems are being created when they don't need to be. Where's the will or desire to win, Auba is a massive part of the issue imo and should be stripped of the captaincy at least.
Fielding a team of youngsters midway through the season with lots still to play for, something I would expect in the carabao cup. Agree the options are limited atm but the decision to put Willock on for ESR kinda sums up the mentality.
There's no spark but looking forward to see if Arteta can ignite something.
Leno for captaincy.
