Seems to happen surprisingly often. Buy a striker, don't play to their strengths. Square peg, round hole etc. With the amount of video clips, scouts on the ground etc, it really shouldn't happen. Particularly not when you are paying large amounts, ie not taking a gamble on a younger player.
Big topic of conversation in our house with the lad being an avid Gooner. It’s definitely a tough decision all the while they’re top there in the case of it doesn’t matter and why would they change. But how many times have they scraped it this season and failed to break a low block top because they play constantly in front of the defence when having little variety and pinging one in behind to Gyokeres to attack would make a big difference, look at City and the top of their game they changed to get Haaland in.
Completely agree with you, if you’re not going to make the changes required and play to strengths then be better of with a younger player adapting and getting chances. Modern top level football is becoming very predictable for teams to play against imagine if they just put a bit of variety in they’d be flying. Old school wingers down the outside would rip a lot of teams apart as they’re all so used to players coming inside they get caught out down the outside.
Slowest starting 11 I think I ever remember. Coupled with weakest bench.
Zirkzee with a goal and an assist though
This aged well

Lack of consistency!Any ideas why Merino didn’t get a second yellow
Because the referee didn’t give him one and VAR doesn’t get involved in yellow cards.Any ideas why Merino didn’t get a second yellow
And that
There are some fouls you normally get a yellow for and that’s one of them!
