I'm going to enjoy watching Arsenal's "title challenge" go up in smoke

but i have been saying it. we need a fast MF who can carry the ball and control/short pass as a minimum in MF in addition to casemiro.
casemiro does not help us with our midfield control problem.

have a look at the pool vs. madrid final last year.

look at home many times casemiro lost the ball or miscontrolled it



i spotted at least.

1:01 bad pass
1:05 bad pass
1:13 bad pass
1:33 bad pass
1:37 lost to mane
1:43 lost to trent
1:56 bad pass
1:59 - they cut it but was a bad pass
2:15 lost to trent
2:46 bad pass
3”03 miscontrol

from the athletic casemiro ONLY succeeded with 37/51 passes in the final i.e. ~72% :picard: completion rate.
72% and his limited passing otherwise is not enough.
people will wake up to that and call him a bad player.
he is not a bad player but he needs a modric/kroos (but faster)/kante type next to him.
head up, foot on ball type.

Just wonder who Arteta will move for him. Me personally feel hes better than the other LB options. Since ZInchenko is suspect on defense tbh and Tomiyasu is better than Tierney imo

i think the only reason zichenko came here was because he was promised regular pt. Tierney is overrated as hell to me, same as ben white
