You could see it on kiwiors face as he was getting ready to come on, positively shitting himself. Even the arsenal staff had to give him hugs and tell him itll all be ok. The first team squad at arsenal is a joke, theres the bare bones basis of a squad there but way way too many players just not up to it.Perryashburtongroves wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 7:54 amI couldn't and still can't work out what the plan was during the second half once Gabriel went off. He sticks Kiwior on and then do we have so little confidence in him that we have to sit back for the rest of the game? There just didn't seem to be a clear idea of how to change the momentum and put them under some pressure. It all felt very much like we'd gone back to any afternoon between about 2009 and 2018.
It also again highlighted the absolutely vital need to get someone in who can either put half-chances away, make a run into the box or hold the fucking thing up. Eleven v eleven, at home, there's no excuse for the confused lack of ambition for the last half an hour.
If a new manager went in there half that squad would be gone. The press go on about arteta rebuilding arsenal. Wenger had shite players he insisted on sticking with and they eventually cost him his job. Arteta will be no different, there’s a long list in that first team that wouldn’t be playing in any of the so called top 6, so why are they playing for us???
