Won as expected today, but Sheff Utd have 14 points and 4 wins all season!

Meaningless result in a disastrous league campaign where both teams have nothing left to play for.

Nice to see Martinelli get a run out, as usual he performs, I expect he’ll be dropped on Thursday.

Wouldn't have been calling it meaningless if we lost though would you.

No game that brings us to within touching distance of finishing above Spurs is meaningless.
This is the PL, the best competition in the world, bar none.

It’s a game we should win, as I said they only have 4 wins all season, would have been a disgrace to lose.

Doesn’t mean a lot though, the league is over for us, while season now hinges on Thursdays match.

Got it right today and I liked that he played Saka as a type of Second striker / Attacking Mid, i thought putting a Winger in that position really amped up our usually torrid attacking transition.

We basically had 4 attacking players on today in what was very similar to a 4-4-1-1 but just played in our usual formation.

Usually when the ball goes to the no10 position we over play it but today because Saka is a winger we started attacking the box as soon as he got the ball in that position with Pepe, Laca and Martinelli all running with him.

I'd like to see more of that because it takes the edge off all our possession, pass, pass, pass nonsense, basically attacking like that at least makes a point to having all that possession rather than the sht show we usually display.

About time really, the beginning of the end for him, once he loses the players it’s game over, the sooner it happens the better, we need move on from this very forgettable period under Arteta, he was an average player and is an average manager as well.

Must be true. At least he hopes it is.

Yeah I mean why would they be anyway, it’s not like we’ve been midtable or below all season and he’s picked players because he likes them and not picked others for some nonsensical reason (like there’s too many young players playing lol) or anything is it?

You say these things as if they're factual.

I guess if you repeat it enough (and you've most certainly done that) you'll start to believe it.
