A step too far. Always felt likely after Spurs.

We’ve improved a tonne vs last season. This is the youngest team in the league. Minimal experience out there today. It was too much. They bottled it.

A HUGE learning curve. This’ll make or break young players.
Our squad depth is woeful. No Partey / Tierney has been impossible to solve. No Gabriel at Spurs. Elneny / Holding / Cedric / Taveres just ain’t good enough.

No settled striker has cost us BIG time.

Fill those gaps, whilst these young players evolve, and we step up levels again
This project is worth backing. It emits oodles of potential. The squad has been through a complete makeover in just 2 seasons. We’re early in the process.

I’m not gonna turn on them because they bottled 2 games right at the close, given all the context.
I’ve seen more than enough to be super excited. Another suite of excellent additions, with the added experience this season brings to all, and we’ll be just fine. I’m sure.

Trust the process. Back #Arteta.
Gotta hope our players agree with me 😅

#Saliba & #Saka with 2 years remaining. Gotta be priority #1 securing both. Nketiah too. Shown plenty to suggest he’s worth it

Arteta’s quite the salesman. Gonna need that with these & any incomings.
Surely our preferred trio of Tielemans
/ Dybala / Gabriel J are at jeopardy now without elite competition. Time to get creative again.

Last summer was fab. Vital we repeat the trick.

Top 5/6 was always the target this season. Top 4 is next season. An expectation. Let’s back it.

Another season without top 4 has, inevitably, brought familiar tension to the fore despite reaching our initial target.

Progress was made. 4th shoulda been secured. BUT…

The #Arsenal could not be in better shape.

A 🧵
We *might* close on 69 points. More than last season, and the season before.

More than enough to finish top 4 in several of the last #EPL seasons.

Why the uproar?

Because Spurs smashed us en route to pipping us to fourth. With £100m Kane & the imperious Son.
Given our status -

youngest team in EPL / young & naive manager / new PROGRESSIVE system / HUGE squad turnover / injuries / lack of quality depth / slow start / no #9 / an ambitious but failed Jan window / etc.

- it’s entirely expected and reasonable.
