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.

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
