    Damn. Sold him for 10m and first game he plays he scores against his ex-team.

    Let me rephrase. In your opinion, who are the 5 best players of Arsenal? I will give my opinion : Saka Rice Martinelli Saliba Odegaard Other than Rice, what do they have in common?

    It is very important but what you do with it is also important. Remember when we spent like 500m on Dembele Coutinho and Griezmann combined? How many times have we had the three of them in our lineup and they've been useless? On paper, they cost 150m each... You can still make terrible business...

    They haven't even been in the CL for like 5 years, let alone establish any history in it. They are top8 but I'm doubtful they can put up any serious challenge. Last season they went out of everything early doors and only had league to focus on, 1 game a week, whilst they were competing with...

    We had this thing going on last year which worked well for a few months where we'd work it wide to the wingers to sweaty it into the box and that's the way we scored 80-90% of our goals. It became repetitive and teams twigged on but we're still trying that pattern even to this day, work it...

    They're not a top team because they spent a lot of money.

    'If these Barca players were top in CL and LaLiga before Xavi, you'd have a point, but they were 9th before he signed'. They just weren't. It's not the same group of players so how can they be 9th before he signed. I'm not saying winning the league meant nothing because he got signings, but it...

    The team was just different. LaLiga winning lineup was Gavi (raphinha) Lewandowski Dembele (raphinha) Pedri-Busquets-De Jong Balde-Christensen-Araujo-Kounde MATS During the '9th place run' the only player who was regularly playing was MATS and De Jong for a bit. The rest are newly signed or...

    Xavi Hernández

    Different argument. He was saying, the same players which were in 9th before, became LaLiga winners due to Xavi's coaching, and the fact they were in 9th shows they aren't that good. But they weren't the same players in 9th. The team is totally different. Winning LaLiga is a big accomplishment...

    Xavi Hernández

    Almost none of the current XI were involved in us being 9th before he was appointed. Christensen, Kounde, Aubameyang, Ferran, Dembele, Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kessie did not play during that time period. The team was completely different due to injuries and new signings coming after. So...

    They don't buy the best players. They buy B tier players who we already have.

    Xavi Hernández

    Agree, but even if we draw the worst group possible (that is, Arsenal, Milan, Newcastle) I would still expect us to qualify over Milan and Newcastle. However, the odds of that are highly unlikely, usually as a Pot 1 team you get at least a decent group. Would be shocked if we drew the hardest...

    Xavi Hernández

    I'm definitely not saying he deserves praise for that, I'm saying it's likely to happen, especially as a Pot1. If we draw City in the 16 and we go out acquitting ourselves decently nobody is going to get at him too much. The issue is we've been knocked out by these teams such as Frankfurt...

    That's not the year before... that's 22-23, which was last season. This season is 23-24. In 22-23, they finished 2nd in group, not 3rd, as you put in your answer. Anyways, here are some teams that have made QFs in the last few seasons : 22-23 - Benfica, Inter, AC Milan, Napoli 21-22 -...

    How can they finish 3rd place in the group when they played City in the round of 16 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: They finished 2nd, 1 point behind Madrid, in their group in 22-23. Imagine specifically doing a fact-check on where a team finished in a group and getting...

    Oriol Romeu

    I think he is doing worse than is apparent to the eye. Since he came in we have been playing even more awfully than before and consistently awful. I know it's a simple way of looking at things but our lineup hasn't substantially changed except for him (and no Dembele, but Dembele was injured for...
