The fixture congestion may hit them hard. Interested to see how they do with that and Europa added to it. Think they are really well suited to a game a week though.

I agree with this, he has no excuses not to get a top four place. They bottled it last season.I’m all for the plaudits so long as they’re judge accordingly should things go south. he should have got 4th last season & at the same point in EtHs tenure Lingard was millyrocking at the Emirates.
They aren’t some plucky underdog upsetting the cart, they’re an expensively assembled group of players led by a manager who’s had years to put his plans in place.
Their fans can cry that 4th is an aspiration, but Spurs, United & Chelsea all have newer managers so at some point expectations need to match. If Arteta can’t get 4th this year then feck me he’s worse than I thought.
Yeah how are none of their Brazilian trio in that squad because playing so damn well. Think this just goes to show how impressive our win was over them two weeks ago.Playing some exceptional football here, clear patterns of play but also room for individual quality. Jesus gives them so much with his hold up play and all round game, absolutely what Utd are missing. Vieira is a fine Odegaard back up.
Good team.
The way they are playing, I think they can challenge Liverpool for 2nd. Really good football all round.They'll get top 4 this season, they playing really good attacking football, scoring goals and defending better. Twats, fair play to Arteta he's built a better team.
It was a great win, know the forum didn't like the media saying it but they were very impressive for large parts of that match, suicidal defending chasing the game and all. Good CB pair, midfield working smoothly and if the front 3 stay fit they will be a problem for years.Yeah how are none of their Brazilian trio in that squad because playing so damn well.

Yeah they were better side but similar to that Chelsea demolition a couple of seasons back we took our chances clinicallyIt was a great win, know the forum didn't like the media saying it but they were very impressive for large parts of that match, suicidal defending chasing the game and all.

Need more depth, Xhaka is playing well at the moment but has had bad spells in the past and who knows what will happen with his partner.
Actually, they are getting rested. Edu is the former General manager for the Brazilian national team and is the mastermind behind them not getting selected.Yeah how are none of their Brazilian trio in that squad because playing so damn well.

Be interesting to see how their defence handles Haaland and co when the time comesFar more worthy of the plaudits than Spurs. Of course there are still question marks over them and I hope everyone’s predictions about them falling away are right but we can’t deny they have been impressive in every single game this season.
Spurs aren't even that good.Far more worthy of the plaudits than Spurs. Of course there are still question marks over them and I hope everyone’s predictions about them falling away are right but we can’t deny they have been impressive in every single game this season.
Agreed I feel Spurs will unravel this season, not catastrophically but for me their performances lack conviction, they should be making more of the attacking threat they have.Far more worthy of the plaudits than Spurs. Of course there are still question marks over them and I hope everyone’s predictions about them falling away are right but we can’t deny they have been impressive in every single game this season.
Second best team in the league currently. Look nailed on for top 4
They can lose to City, but they seem to dispatch 90% of the other teams in the league with ease. That is how you get consistency and stay in the top 4. It is a good base for them.Be interesting to see how their defence handles Haaland and co when the time comes
No, it is City of course. Watch the games.Are wee first best team then?
No, it is City of course. Watch the games.
Spurs have the edge over Arsenal in last 5 years.I agree with this, he has no excuses not to get a top four place. They bottled it last season.
Saying that, so far this season their results match their performances. Saliba and Jesus have been good signings. I think they are in a better place than Spurs and Conte which just feels like a precarious relationship.
Exactly the same as last season minus the poor start.Arsenal look good tbf. Never had this good a spell under Arteta it does look different this time, the performances are matching the results. They will inevitably drop off but I think top 4 this time around is pretty much guaranteed (Barring an injury crisis).
That we are still in transition too.I don't think we will. We are still in transition but for you guys, what excuse do you have now to not finish top 4.
You guys look better than last year. Chelsea and United both are in transition. Top 4 should be bare minimum.
Their level of performance is far better this season than it was last season. This season they're dominating and controlling games in a way they didn't do last season.Exactly the same as last season minus the poor start.
Good against weaker teams so far. They'll probably lose against the next decent opposition as they did with usThey look good.
If we didn’t have the poor start last season we would have top 4Exactly the same as last season minus the poor start.
You cant be serious? Are you aware of what happened when you visited Brentford?Good against weaker teams so far. They'll probably lose against the next decent opposition as they did with us
Brentford away is decent opposition.Good against weaker teams so far. They'll probably lose against the next decent opposition as they did with us
