AFC are like a Mourinho team with more capacity in possession. Masters of the dark arts + fundamentals that actually lead to wins. Hard-work, concentration, set-pieces, defensive solidity, power/height etc. Despite criticism, they’ll consistently put points on the board.

@Dmmanz_ Of course not. But that’s the predicament I’m trying to work out. When do we give up and say he doesn’t have it in him. We’re so fucking close.
Arsenal have not raised their ceiling enough with their transfer business this summer. Calafiori is a decent upgrade on Kiwior, and Merino is a quality squad player, but nothing that moves the needle and gives them the edge over Man City. The benefit of having a large space-dominating defensive midfielder in Rice is to be able to accommodate two top offensive interiors like City do. What is the point of having a player like Rice and always playing him with a Partey or a Merino? It is inefficient to not take advantage of Rice’s capabilities to further enhance the collective. What Arsenal needed this summer was a zone-dominating LCM from the Pedri archetype that would have taken their attack and their ceiling to the next level.
