Especially Pedro Neto who is "Mustard".Stuart L (2) wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 5:43 pmFrom what I saw, Wolves were fast paced and direct - attacking them with snail like velocity may not work ?Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 9:33 amForget the result - I would just like to see us competitive in this match. Wolves gave them a good game so really we shouldn’t be scared of them.
Time for the squad to step up.
This is what Arteta brought these additional players in for right ?
We have regressed massively for sure. You stand in the stadium and you can see it on everything we do.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 6:57 amSince we last took a point off them well over 20 clubs have done that and at least 10 have beaten them. Some of those teams are currently in the Championship
But our manager won't find away. We'll be as wide open as we were up there. Haaland who barely had a kick against Wolves will have Gabriel looking like Bambi on Ice again and they'll do us big style
We're going backwards this season no doubt about it

We'll play Zinchenko as an inverted left back, roaming into midfield all the time leaving 3 at the back and wide gaps on our left.....
Up front we'll have.....wait for it, fucking genius this is........Our blockbuster German signing Kai Havoc as a false 9.....hee hee hee, Pep will never suspect this....
On the right he'll play ex-City talisman Jesus, who will run their LB ragged
On the LW will be Leo Bossard, top man......
In the centre, a double pivot of Biggus Deccus and Partey with Captain Ode
At the back, Benny 'Back pass' White, Saliba, Gabriel and Oleks 'AWOL' Zinchenko
Finished off with our Raya sunshine in goal
Pep is going to be so pissed at Tets pulling this one off, he won't see this coming!!.........
Yep so basically back to where we were 10-15yrs ago - claiming top 4(5 now!) as a trophy and getting stuffed by any decent team we face in the CL.falkirk goon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 9:30 amCheaty will stiffen us home and away and the dippers will do us at theirs along with Newcastle up there too..Points will be dropped against Brighton and Villa as well almost certainly..Well be 20plus behind Cheaty come may..We might get top4 but just because of the shiteness of other sides.
I'm not sure it's better than finishing 5th though because to complete the latter Wenger years comparison, we are now back to the annual embarrassment in the CL of shite performances against Joe average teams in the group, and even if we scrape through, a guaranteed pummelling against anyone half decentsk-gtfo wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 5:28 amYep so basically back to where we were 10-15yrs ago - claiming top 4(5 now!) as a trophy and getting stuffed by any decent team we face in the CL.falkirk goon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 9:30 amCheaty will stiffen us home and away and the dippers will do us at theirs along with Newcastle up there too..Points will be dropped against Brighton and Villa as well almost certainly..Well be 20plus behind Cheaty come may..We might get top4 but just because of the shiteness of other sides.
Much as I enjoyed most of last season it feels we've missed the boat a bit in terms of pushing on to become City's main challenger and now we are probably stuck in a group of 3 or 4 teams fighting for 2nd.
Better than finishing 8th I suppose..
Exciting stuff...
