Emi Martinez was a standout player last season. He commanded his box. He was an elite shot-stopper. He was a fukking beast. We bombed him off. Mikel and his staff didn’t want to keep a player that didn’t have a data-set larger than 15 games.
Who did they sign to replace him?
The worst shot-stopper in Ligue 1. The worst keeping xG in France. BUT, he could kick.
Le Grove had reports in week one of Rúnarsson being at the club that he was utterly shyte. The keeping coach, who I hear many struggle with, endorsed him.
Arteta knew he was shyte. Why did he play him against City? He was a disaster. Leno didn’t need a rest. There was no reason to start a player the coaching staff knew was a joke.
It was a SHOCKING decision, again.
Before Mikel took the job at Arsenal I was told he was a bit of a shyt as a person. Very vindictive apparently. I assumed that was because he struggled with fitness in the last year of his career. I assumed he would become a better person.
The dismissal of William Saliba from the squad looks like he’s just being mean.
Mike Arteta is happy to give the 17th worst shot-stopper in Ligue 1 a chance in another game, but he won’t play Saliba over the mistake terrorist that is Mustafi.
