Hey Ed hope you're well? I was wondering if at the end of the season you would have any time to do an arsenal season review or a review of emerys overall performance? I imagine it would be a huge undertaking and I often see people asking you for playeer reviews among other stuff, so I would expect your to do list is pretty extensive. If not maybe there's an articulate arsenal fan who could write a good one, though I would prefer to read yours as I expect it would be more objective, anyway hope you have a good day.

{Ed001's Note - I usually do one for the whole Prem at the end of each season anyway mate.}

Here and there with some of those choices. I think Busquets has declined, but there is a reason del Bosque has tended to eulogise him and I think in terms of his positioning it's absolutely spot on. His tackling ability has definitely gone though so it's probably why he seems to end up looking exposed.

As for Casemiro, carried by Kroos and Modric - any DM playing behind those two will already get their work done for them. Agreed on the rest mostly, although Seri's stock and Neymar's have both dropped rather dramatically this season after Seri came across as a lightweight and Neymar came across as a clown, as usual.

I'd add Neuer to that list too. Half the keeper of Oblak and twice the gob.

{Ed001's Note - Neuer has injury problems so unfair to judge his performances. He was excellent but his injuries affect his ability to catch.}

To be fair i don't think coming for crosses has ever been Neuer's strong point Ed, but he more than makes up for it in every other part of his game. A 50% fit Neuer would still be in my team. I am part of the GK union and for me Neuer has been a top, top player for many years.

Can’t argue with any of that just a little surprised Jack Wilshere never squeezed his way in there! 😂

I genuinely can’t believe what an absolute clown Pogba is, every game I watch him in, he’s woeful, yet United fans and the press harp on like he is the Messiah.

I even saw some United fan saying they’d get £120 million for him. Think they’d struggle with the £20 million.

{Ed001's Note - is Wilshere still counted as a player? Did he not retire?}

Yes mate he did, to the treatment table at the Hammers! 😂.

{Ed001's Note - I am just shocked anyone was willing to sign him.}

I was too, he’s been out for months, he lasted for 4 games at the beginning of the season before he got injured, hasn’t played since and physio room shows him as no return date.

He’s 27 now and basically done naff all. To think I used to rate him. Shows what I know. 😂.

{Ed001's Note - still you can always rest easy knowing that you know more than your missus thinks you do. Not a high bar admittedly but still it is something.}
