I just was baffled match in and match out about his tactics. Like yesterday we're down a goal need to press the attack and you take off Gabriel Martinelli who's only been outscored by Auba and Laca and you bring on Ozil. Ozil is a fine sub but you then put him out as a winger which he never plays and it doesn't fit his skill set. Then late in the game you take off Mustafi and we're thinking ok here we go gonna get Pepe or Laca on the pitch! Nope! We get Torreira a defensive midfielder. So in what's widely reported as a must win game from the manager in a match that could have seen us advance in the Europa league he leaves Laca and Pepe, who's sate for several matches now after we bought him for $72 million, and you lose at home by a goal. His tactics have just become so bad this was bound to happen.
Going forward the guy I'd like to see is Allegri. The board has shown they'll get players the manager needs and he'll need a couple defenders to pair with last years purchases of Tierney and Saliba. I do think that'll be the end of one of either Laca or Auba though but we have so much youth in the attack it will be a minor speed bump as Allegri sorts out the defense. A few others I'd like as well but for my money he's the guy. A real interesting hire would be Pochetino just to see Spurs fans freak out. Also for Allegri not sure how reliable this source is but....
Should the Gunners make their move?
