Fact is if they do blow it the only people I'd keep is Auba, Laca, Torreia, Sokratis, Bellerin and possibly Ozil.
Everyone else can do one, they're all weak links, we've supported and propped them up all season, but they are just not good enough, we're being way too sentimental with our squad and accepting players who can't even beat Crystal Palace, Everton or Leicester.
Wilson
Rice
Mclintock
Storey
McNab
Kelly
Armstrong
Kennedy
Radford
Graham
Oleary
Seaman
Dixon
Linighan
Winterburn
Davis
Wright
All players that won league titles with Arsenal who lost to Everton ,crystal palace and Leicester
Yes but Dixon, Graham, Winterburn, Seaman, Wright etc were solid all season, the odd loss doesn't take that away from them.
The players we have some of our first 11 plus most of our 2nd string are just not good enough for top 4, they don't have the right mentality, they're prone to game losing mistakes and they don't fight hard enough for the club.
Personally I've got to the point where I think we need a few more English players in the team, like your Ramsey's etc, I've seen a lot more fight and organised defending from your Wolverhampton, Brighton defenders than ones like Mustafi.
Sokratis and Holding will probably be a good CB pairing but I think we need some more in the team who know how to play and compete in Prem / League one football.
