Mikel is running this club and going to run it into the ground if he doesn’t approve the attack.

We’re running on 3 years in row where we have stretches of not being able to generate any attack.

He HAS to bring more attack minded players into the system (a system in which we hope Saka/ode dows something extraordinary)

Winning with defense & possession isn’t a thing when you don’t have a counter-attacking threat.

I know I’m beating a dead horse, and most of you call me a sky screamer, but the stretches every year we can’t score goals are what lose you the league now.

Winning with 80-85 pts it’s a thing anymore. You likely need 95 in any given year, and to compete on CL you need a deep squad, we have neither. If Saka and/or Ode go down, we have no strategy or players to mitigate.

As it stands to hit 95 pts, we need to go something like 25-1-2. Does any one think that is likely with our squad? With perfect help, there’s a very slim chance, but chances are we tie 3 or 4 more games and possibly lose an additional game.

I know the later Wenger years are dark, but the current state of the PL is you essentially have to be perfect, with red cards & injuries, this season is essentially over before the new year starts.
