A couple of things:
  • Yes Ole was bad, but it's ALSO true their squad is bad. I never understood this "should be challenging for the title" stuff, not only from their fans but from rivals too. Arsenal have a better team if you are looking beyond names.
  • I'm detecting this idea or believe that stuff will auto-correct, it evens out, etc. I mean maybe. You can't win 100% of games that's true, but also how you lose matters. What's the eye test like? When they started early on in the season many observant rival fans noted how consistently flukey their wins were, it was never sustainable. So looking at their last two games against Norwich and Newcastle, the issue is not dropping points, but how they looked dropping points. Can they not understand that?
  • Aren't Greenwood, Sancho, VdV and Rashford their players of the future? They're all either regressing or stalling.
  • Will Ronaldo ever be benched or subbed? It's a catch-22 there. Yes he saves them, and is always a threat, but a lot of times he's part of the reason they need saving or that they look subpar in the first place.
  • Lastly, what did they think they were getting with Ragnick? The inventor of pressing and the most brilliant mind in the sport? If that's what they or the media thought, it's no wonder there might still be some confusion about their predicament. He was way overhyped coming in. I mean there's a reason that no rival fan whatsoever wanted them to get Conte.
  • Hopefully they don't fluke it in the Champions League, we need them out of that ASAP.

Great post. They have a lot of technically inferior players who can't adapt to modern football. Maguire and Varane are very limited when they have possession; Rashford has poor positional awareness and is getting worse; Fred, McTominay, Bisakka are sub-standard. De Gea is overrated. I thought he was lucky last night. He made a good save but misread many crosses and never catches the ball. He is the worst in the PL for distribution. The way their squad is hyped is absurd.
