You trolling?who that 16 years old and why utd spending 25M
The more I think about it, the more I think our midfield is the problem.Yeah his technique is absolutely outstanding, I mean literally every corner is inch perfect. I was disgusted when Lacazette took the free kick and not Pepe.
I don't know what the answer is to try get him into better scoring positions, but he's absolutely rapid and when he's played through he usually delivers a good cross, like he did to Martinelli today or can beat a man.
What usually happens is he receives it and is surrounded.
Starting 23 games is impressive at his ageJude Bellingham. Lads a baller, top bracket English talent.

Sloppy first 20 minutes but after that we dominated scored good goal failed to score 2nd got robbed by var and Sheffield score via deflection in 83 minutes. Frustrating.
Arteta is hamstrung a little by how lopsided the squad is. Individually they are not bad players, but as a collective there is just no real synergy. They do not complement each other's strengths holistically speaking.Doesn’t get into the positions to finish. When he does shoot they tend to be quite good. It’s a puzzle for him and Arteta to fix.
Shame we lost Yunus Musah, he'd have been perfect. At least we still have Azeez.Genuine goal threat, has the physique of a man ten years older.
I’ll be gutted if he goes there.
The more I think about it, the more I think our midfield is the problem.
Torreira does what he’s in there to do tbf. Starting to think that Xhaka and (I hate to say it) Özil aren't cutting it. We have periods of possession where we don’t actually do anything with the ball.
When Özil was playing well we were creating chances quite easily. Maybe the system is too reliant on him or he just isn’t cutting it.
To an extent I agree. Pepe has a few things that annoy me, random skills and flicks when he could play it simple and his decision making can sometimes be bizarre.
However look at our chance creation, it's abysmal. Not even really creating through cut backs either and I think the blame as you does does lay in the midfield and sometimes wing backs.
Our forwards need to be shooting way more, guys like Auba and Lacazette need supply, but with Pepe he can seriously created it himself which he has to do atm.
Yeah that’s the major problem for me, we need someone on that left side who’s creative.
For me it’s still Grealish that would be perfect, he plays that role for Villa a lot but can also go all over the midfield.
Sp**s draw, chelsea lose, united have tough game tomorrow. 3 points today were needed.
This season very much echoing last. When we need to win to close the gap we dont and the other teams all lose or drop points around us.
2 points dropped at Palace over VAR
2 points dropped against Watford 2 up
2 points dropped today.
Those 6 points and we still would have had a chance for top 4 as the other teams are almost as bad. Depressing stuff.
Add ti that Chelsea Wolves games lost from winning positions too a great chance missed this seasonSp**s draw, chelsea lose, united have tough game tomorrow. 3 points today were needed.

There's still a chance
In 2013 we were 10 points off Sp**s early April and came back
Our rivals this season have been dreadful and don't have much upside; if Arteta manages to get the players going, then anything could happen.
I meant that for those only looking at the results and saying we've not improved because we're unable to win against teams above us in the table such as Sheffield and Palace.
Problem with getting Grealish is Arsenal dont want to over pay on proven talent.
They would much rather spend 30m on someone proven in France than 50m on someone proven in the league. Doesnt make sense when we look at how the past 15-20 signings have panned out. Very few have actually been successful.
