if you have ronaldo, you build up and develop strategies, tactics around ronaldo, simple as that.

Is this sarcasm?

There are only a few football clubs in football history who had more success than ronaldo.

Do you even know who cristiano ronaldo is?

He was once a greatest player on the planet. Unfortunately that time passed long ago and he is not even top 20 in my honest opinion. So why would you think any manager would build around him?

Tbf, CR isn't the first one who has come out with some strong words about the organisation that Man Utd is.
Sanchez, Mourinho, Ibrahimovic also said something about it.

But this was a nuke in comparison of course...

lol, what? Their play and results with him on and off the pitch suggest otherwise.

What's good man? Good to see you. To my chagrin Arsenal are looking good, especially defensively.

However I think they need to add reinforcements across the board in January. You get the sense that they could be one or two injuries away from relying on the likes of Nketiah, Holding, Elneny, etc. for extended periods which obviously isn't good when you're in a title race. The starting 11 looks strong, though.

I'm praying that Man City wakes up, honestly. :lol:

I'm doing good man! Been a long while ! Life's been a little crazy but settled in now and thought i'd check in!

The form we were in from December to the end of March last season playing essentially without a striker and a man down(lacazette lol) had me really encouraged. As you allude to the need for a deeper squad burned us at the end of last season when we had to rely on Cedric , Nuno T , Holding , and El Neny. The upgrade on Lacazette was always going to improve us massively but the improvements to our defensive depth has transformed us tbh. The additions of Saliba and Zinchenko were nice and the entire squad which is very young is improving. Our squad depth may very well burn us this year we're essentially short on wingers and the drop off from Partey to his alternative is massive. Hopefully Smith Row joining the squad can give us a lift there and the club have something else up there sleeve. I think the one thing we really lack right now is firepower. It hasn't cost us yet other then the Southampton game that we couldn't put away but man a little more firepower can make all the difference in the long run and in the tough big games.

I think City will start off slow after the world cup with a lot of their players being on teams that will go to the quarter finals if my predictions are right but then they'll rip off they're annual 18 game win streak loool. I do think they've made a squad building error coming into this season losing Jesus and Sterling and not bringing players that can beat their man dribbling or make runs in behind other then Haaland. They've got a lot of ball to feet players and it's predictable but hey when you are that good anyways , the opposition still can't stop it. We've got a tough run of fixtures straight after the world cup , if we can get through them I think we'll be in touching distance until April but if we falter after the WC then City are home clear pretty early.

Life got busy before the pandemic , then I moved to the states during the middle of it shortly before the vaccine rollouts in the fall of 2020 but I'm back in Toronto now. Tried logging in and forgot my password and it was attached to an old email I didn't have access to anymore but I finally decided to email Howad Mass and he helped me out.

Amongst the boys again

, I know HIF is glad to see me

That's a good and correct attitude. Sadly most of your arsenal brothers and the dumb media aren't as sane as you are.

I think most of us, Arsenal fans, still have the eye on finishing top 4.
The team isn't deep enough to stay in the title race and compete in the Europa League and FA Cup.

Yeah we are still short in some key areas. Lets see how we look after the January window and how we look after a pretty pretty tough stretch of games in the new year straight after the world cup.
