Arsenal review Season 19

Arsenal review a little turbulent this season deciding to swap Lewandowski for Mane and Pavard although long term a good deal, it did hit us hard.

When we where flying early doors following our title win the season earlier, but we stumbled, I wanted to try bring some more youth in and start a transition to the side but also try not to affect results too much.

Well after a long season knocked out of the Youth Shield at the Semi Final Stage and out of the title race we where determined to do well in the World Club Cup and retain if it possible a first for Top 100. Really difficult games, FC Porto, Benfica very hard team to beat in the final and semi final.

Brazilians Casemiro and Raphinha having stand out seasons for me.

A league finish of 6th place again not the best top four was the aim.

A great line up for next season as below verging on 93 average hopefully, hoping for increases for Pavard, Rudiger Raphinha

W SZCZESNY 92

B PAVARD 91

A ROBERTSON 93

M GINTER 91

A RUDIGER 91

C CASEMIRO 94

B RAPHINHA 91

M BROZOVIC 92

S MANE 94

Great cover with

L Spinazzola 90 both full backs plus Pavard can play central or right back.

J BOwen 90 , Centre forward , Right Wing and Attacking midfield.

S DIOP 88 covers wings also.

Lots of up and coming 20 something players that will get game time and also due into the club at the start of the season are the following 5 players.

Kike Salas 80 rated CB Youth Team

A PEDRINHO left back for Youth TEAM

Young established players due uprating

Aimar Oroz 83, Yacine Adli 86 and J Ramsey 87.

Looking forward to Season 20 , all the best in the play offs to my fellow managers for the end of this season.

Last Game for Arsenal is the SMFA Champions Cup Final against Barcelona.
