I think we all know what would have happened if it was the other way around

Dias I will say is no longer a starter for me.

There are some players still transitiong quite a few who've arrived in the last couple windows, some have hit the ground running.

Re group in the summer with hopefully some sort of pre season (regardless of whom is in charge)

At most we can get it is one of 2 domestic pots to salvage something.


I don't have statistics on it, but they are regularly getting beat by teams in la liga that they normally walk over, have a first time interim coach, and have about 9 injuries.

But if we can get a trophy out of this season, even just the league cup, I would call that a huge success given how inconsistent and fragile we have looked this year

I think they have lost to = Getafe, Barcelona, Osasuna & Celta Vigo. Apart from Barcelona the rest are mid table teams that you wouldn’t expect them to lose against.

This is where it gets silly ,Regularly getting beaten ? They have lost four times in the league this season.

That isn't regular compared to Wolves ,Burnley etc.

Like City, Arse others , they compete in four comps and get injuries. They rotate players. The odd result happens. Remember the chavs equalising in extra time recently ! Did sod all throughout the game. Forest get a denis law back heel , spuds get a rooney deflection to equalise. No matter how hard you train , play and do your best , these things happen. Solanke will never do it again.

The only upside of going out is Arsenal have to continue playing every midweek. They also have to play sporting in midweek before they come to the Etihad. If sporting can make a good game and ensure that arsenal need to play their best players in the 2nd leg before they play us, it's a small win in our favour.
