Lack of squad depth and Arteta not having a backup plan will ruin this season again, he doesn't know how to manage a club with injury crisis. He was very lucky last season not to have injury crisis but things are looking a lot different now and he's getting exposed.
Injury crisis does not expose a manager, it is a difficult time for anyone and one that will affect performance, look at City without Rodri.
About the transfer market, we did terrible business. How did they let Eddie go and leave Jesus, sold ESR, loaned Fabio and brought in Sterling, plus a defender, which was the department we least needed reinforcements in.
Manchester City are in complete disarray; they don't deserve to win the league this season, and if they do, we might as well rename the league after Pep.
City have been able to recover from slow starts in the last few seasons, they could do it again. It is us who are out of the race.
Arsenal without a shot on target. Really composed Newcastle performance, they deserved the points today.
For what it is worth we got one
