You are right. It was you and I embellished.

Arsene can just ******** right off

 

Irrespective of who said, it is true. Next couple of matches will show us how much ole and players has to improve.

 

Very hypocrite, He is talking about CL when his Arsenal team didnt managed to go beyond Last 16 for last 7 yrs and getting thrashed even at home by Bayern and he managed the same club for 2 decades.

 

We didn't need the PSG game to see or know that.

 

I think there was ounce of hope with offensive football / motivated squad he could cover that up till summer of course.

 

It's simple, we should bring in a DOF first, then Poch, then spend money on positions in this order: RW, CDM, CB, RB.

 

We all know what happened at Cardiff City. I do not want read too much into how he did at Molde looking at WIki. It looks like he did fairly ok. Anyone have any insights and any other info regarding Ole's term with Molde second time around?

 

The path forward is clear:

Give Ole a contract.

Bring in a proper CB to partner with Lindelof and Bailly with either Smalling or Jones as the #4 with either Tuanzebe and Fosu-Mensah as our #5 CB.

Cut our losses with Lukaku and Sanchez (grudgingly in the case of Sanchez but his wages it impossible for him to be relegated to a squad man).

Bring in a proper RW. I wish I could suggest names but we may have to take a chance on an unknown, a young Ronaldo who more likely than not won't work out but offers incredible potential. Maybe the answer is Chong. maybe not. I'd like to see Gomes given a chance but it's anyone's guess as to whether he really has the potential to make a contribution to the first team by next season -- he's still only 18 I believe.

Promote Greenwood to the first team squad.

Bring in a proper holding mid to ease out Matic. But keep Matic for another season as the new holding mid steps up.

Not sure what to do about Pereira. Once we're safe in fourth place I'd like to see Ole give him a run of games where he can be fairly judged. Until then, we'll have to ride Pogba, Herrera and Matic pretty hard.

I'm not obsessed with a DoF as some are here. If the club hires one, grand. If not, I'm sure we'll somehow survive. Clubs that have DoF aren't guaranteed glory, but there is something to be said for a DoF especially if we bring in Ole.

 

Even SAF warned OGS ..

 

I agree with this, but I feel this is only the beginnings of a long future. Carrick, and Ole, too in some regards, are learning the manager trade. A well-rounded staff functioning well with moving parts is always a sum greater than the whole. Sir Alex had his CQ - and they were a formidable pair. I believe this staff will have ramifications throughout the coming years for our club. Nicky Butt must be included as well.

 

Ole has won more away matches vs the Big Six (3/3) than Jose (2/14).

 

Gotta see percentages played there, link?

 

I just read it in an article, it didn’t show its working. Not sure what you’re asking though - 2/14 = 14%, 3/3 = 100%.

The Spurs FA Cup win under Mou was technically neutral.
