I’ve compared both squads and have come to the conclusion that Arsenal’s is absolutely dreadful.

Up front alone they have three very good strikers, they have some of the highest rated young players in Europe (Tierney and Pepe). The only place they are not so hot is in defence, but if they play more on the front foot they can compensate for this against most PL teams.

Up front is where they have their only two really good players. The rest range from various shades of average to absolutely shocking. There are players in that squad that I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole if they were available on a free. The midfield is utterly hanging.
 
Carlo Ancelotti was sacked on Thursday in response to Wednesday’s 3-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain, but in truth the discontent has been building for some time.


Bayern was abject in Paris: slow, sluggish and disorganized. Under Pep Guardiola, there were many at the club–players and other staff–who complained of how intense everything was all the time. Ancelotti was initially welcomed as a slackening of the reins. Everybody at Saberner Strasse, it seemed, breathed a little more easily.

But after a time it became apparent that this wasn’t Ancelotti giving his players a break, it was just how he was: relaxed to the point of decadence.

*looks at his long list of trophies* o_O
