any decent passing teams can score against us with our defense like that. proper 'triangle passes' and opponents will have a decent chances.

we are fortunate not to meet the likes of arsenal or city this early. they will rape us.

i still trust the system. no system is perfect. but good system always need a suitable set of players.

di maria will not improve us tremendously. he's an upgrade, but at the expanse of the likes of kagawa and januzaj.

biggest holes are obviously on cm and cb, while both side fullbacks occupied by make-shift players (valencia and young)

wordward spent on wrong 'furniture'. di maria are great buy, only if another class cm also on board.

its stranger than fiction..

next stop, burnley. a game against fellow struggler, a 6 pointer game..

then qpr and leceister. must win games, drop any points and we are talking relegation for real.

hope for a better result and performance next game.

last season we played better away, less pressure.

nowadays most teams expect they can beat us. it can be an advantage, because they will attack us.

firesale eh?

i prefer small squad when we do not expect to win something. youngsters will have more chances.

ive to admit in early august i expected, we will mount a serious challenge to the title. but now, even top four seem like a dream. coc are gone.

we made some expansive buys, but i doubt it'll change things a lot if existing players not improve.

i think welbeck will be flourish at arsenal. he never be a great scorer, but his style suit them more.
