Losing Saka for a good chunk meant we were always going for 2nd. When we lost Gabi a few weeks back, I thought we’d be holding on for dear life at 4th.

I don’t see this season as overly negative, given where we are now, especially given:

1. Myles Lewis-Skelly exists
2. Jakub Kiwior has been phenomenal
3. We literally beat Real Madrid 5-0 on agg (Saliba’s OG doesn’t count, cos he was just trying to get Madrid to give him a contract offer, so Arsenal will double his wages next season).
4. We finished above City
