      What about the recent seasons? Arsenal fans basically edging coming 2nd 3 seasons in a row and not winning even minor titles. If this continues hahaha

        Arsenal were much worse the decade before this, for them to get to this point is an achievement and they’re bound to win something soon.

          They seem legit cursed. Idk how they haven’t won even a carabao or fa cup with that squad. Maybe it was arteta micromanaging everything. Berta had to come in

            Rome wasn’t built in a day. They’re not cursed, they just haven’t been good enough but the progression year to year is there

              5 years without a title on a squad that talented seems like a curse. Not even a minor one. Odegard has regressed. Martinelli has badly regressed. Saka will accumulate injuries the way he’s overworked. I fear the same with rice, he was forced to play with a broken toe and defensive midfield is extremely demanding. Partey isn’t staying and tbh he’s the best midfielder besides rice and zubi may be getting rushed. Gabriel jesus is a striker that says scoring is not his biggest strength

              Berta needs to make some signings to shake things up for real

                I hate Arsenal, but I’ve been playing them in a Football Manager league with friends and I briefly paid attention to them when they played my team in the Champions, so you could call me some kind of gooner expert

                Their team is that ‘draw a horse’ meme, Saka is the only person in that entire attack worth a damn (he’s very talented). Martinelli is largely an ineffective player who is still just potential after 3-4 years

                Kai Havertz stalin-gun-1 clown

                Gabriel Jesus-paper tiger.

                Troussard, Viera…. mediocre.

                Their defense and midfield are absolute gangster. Their attack is toothless. But if they get Eze (amazing) and Gyokeres, they will be very formidable.

                  Yeah imagine they get gyokeres or even Sesko. Use nwaneri more that kid talented. You see the news? They got madueke for 50 million. The gunners are angry as hell about that hahaha
