Sven seems terrible at getting defenders/gks

Our defense is worse now than it was last season

He doesn't have any money, you can't buy what you can't afford.

Our defence looks shaky because emery has literally had 4 games to start drilling half the squad to play how he wants.

His team's defend as a unit, not individuals, it's going to take a while to get up to speed.

We're going to struggle for a while imo, we've got a new set of players, new manager and new philosophies to learn.

I wouldnt expect miracles after 1 pre season following a world cup.

When miles exposes Niles, it will be too late to get a proper lb.

Sven seems terrible at getting defenders/gks

Our defense is worse now than it was last season

We have conceded 3 goals in 5 games
We conceded 3 Liverpool h
2 at palace
1 at west brom
2 home to Chelsea
4 at Nottingham forest
None of those games featured mavrapanos
In fact he wasn't even here till the forest game
He was the only back recruited since Sven arrived
Did you honestly believe that a feature so criminally neglected by Wenger for the last 10 years would suddenly disappear overnight?
It will take time to reintroduce good habits

have we had more friendlies this year? feel like there's been one every few days

No
Played 5
Played 7 last year
2 were against Australian opposition
And I also include the community shield
There was also an Emirates cup

Played 6 this year haven't we? 5 in this match day area and the 'secret' one against Crawley.

Anyway, thanks, just feels like we've had lots this year. Guess they've almost all big against big teams though.

Got beat by Brentford in another training ground game but it really is hard to count anything not for public consumption .
I did a lighting run for twelfth night once in shorts and flip flops
