Another fucking stupid comparison.
In that season the Scum got to the fucking Europa League semi final playing an extra 12 games...and they'd already fucking won the FA Cup with him.

I wonder if we need a proper competition/understudy for Son on the left too given how little we've seen of Solomon and that we probably won't sign Werner and Gil won't ever mature to a PL playerIf we get a quality striker and right winger in the summer we’ll be a different team
Edit - although I do like Johnson even though he was poor today
Glad you enjoyed the victory today xthis guy is lost
lots of us said last few weeks play dragon at Ch and move VDV to left back (had lots of time to train once doggie was out for season) but no wait till last few mins of the game to try it
can't get the players up to better Burnley
Not much hope for me, if he's here next season will be another waste season
Whilst I agree that comparisons are just complete dogshit, I do wonder how you would go about quantifying your point that our team was better than theirs?Regardless, my main point is that the team Ange inherited is better than the one Arteta did. So comparing the starts they had doesn't mean much.
There you go champWhat the fucking fuck Ange was thinking playing Kulusevski?

Different clubs playing in different seasons against different sides. And just naming players doesn’t make your argument. There’s absolutely no way to know which team was stronger or otherwise.
VicWhat 3 of the back 5? Udogie, VDV and who else?

I think that another actual 9 is going to be key. Especially if we send Veliz back out on a loan.If we give Ange another transfer season where he can bring in some creativity in the mid and or forwards, we suddenly look a much, much better side.
I know we've scored plenty. But I think it's obvious our forward pounce failing due to lacking technical skills has led to a lot of our poor defence. Our backline has been excellent (for once!).
I'm hoping our better transfers continue into this window, except with more attacking and creativity in mind. Of course, that tends to be more expensive...
And a right winger. BJ can come good, but he's not ready to be a top 4/EPL title contending team starter on the wing. Especially in an Ange system.I think that another actual 9 is going to be key. Especially if we send Veliz back out on a loan.
It's pretty clear that the attack works much better with Richarlison in the middle rather than Son, who should be out on the left. We need someone with a bit of a physical presence in the box that can act as a poacher and play a bit of hold up play.
Get someone in that can rotate with/compete with Richarlison (if he is sold we need two), put Son out left and I think that the attacking outfit will function much better.
Comparing different teams from different seasons can't be quantified, sure. It's just opinions.Whilst I agree that comparisons are just complete dogshit, I do wonder how you would go about quantifying your point that our team was better than theirs?

Depending on outgoings we may need a left winger for depth as well. Son will be the obvious starter until he breaks down completely but we need someone to rotate him with. We obviously have Solomon on the books but he is such an unknown given how long he has been out for.And a right winger. BJ can come good, but he's not ready to be a top 4/EPL title contending team starter on the wing. Especially in an Ange system.
I think with that and a true 9 ala Richy who can play more consistently would see Son improve as well. People are forgetting Son has been used to playing with Kane on the side, and has been getting used to, well, absorbing all that pressure now from opposition teams.
You could. But the you’d have to add in the players they all played against too. Were Villa as strong back then as they are now? Newcastle? Palace? I have to assume Chelsea and Man Utd are weaker now.Comparing different teams from different seasons can't be quantified, sure. It's just opinions.
But if you were to compare two teams from different eras and determine who's better, wouldn't you just compare the players to decide who was better overall?
