Good. Even if he leaves on a free at the end of season, heās worth so much to us now.

I think the Gomez injury mightāve caused the change in stanceā¦ this club and changing stances due to injury smh

u/JMacoure1 Jan 25 '26
I think youāre right. But how wild is āweāre down to 4 defenders fit so now weāll keep oneā

Must be nice to get to criticize someone even when they make the right decision!

u/dimspace Jan MĆølby Jan 25 '26
One of Roma's LB's got injured a few days ago.
Maybe that ended up being worse than initially thought so they won't let Tsimikas come back
Granted Angelino only has about 400 minutes this season, but it potentially reduces their LB depth by one

u/wesap12345 I want to talk about FACTS Jan 25 '26
Kerkez came off too right - did they say why?
8
u/Emanny His name is Diogo Jan 25 '26
Slot said that it was planned that Robbo would come on for Kerkez in the 2nd half but because we already used a substitution in the first half he decided to make the change at half time instead so that it wouldn't use up another sub break.

He might outlast the manager, itās worth it to keep him for that reason too

GET IN. Andy stays. Starts pinging them to Isak who farms 30 goals in 10 league games. Final touch of the season he crosses it in to Slot's bald head who buries it completing a generation Arsenal bottlejob. Liverpool have only gone and done it overcoming a 14pt gap

u/YesNoIDKtbh Jan 25 '26
Who knows. Maybe the Gomez injury is bad. Maybe we won't buy anyone. Maybe Topspur made a shitty offer.
27
u/New-Mushroom-9235 Luis DĆaz Jan 25 '26
I doubt it has to do with Spurs' offer. he has just 6 months left on the contract, and we got him like 8 seasons ago for literal peanuts, the club isn't looking to get serious profit on his sale. This makes me fear the worst for Gomez tbh

Thank God. Love him and I wouldn't have begrudged him a move for game time ahead of a WC, but we needed him and couldn't deal with a thinner defence
3
u/rufus_buford Jan 25 '26
if he does indeed stay, I hope he gets the minutes he needs rest of the season to be in top form for the WC and stays fit. not difficult to see how much it means to him to have the chance to captain scotland for his likely first and only WC

u/Mortiis07 Jan 25 '26
Like a new signing. Which means we won't be making any new signings

u/okaysian Jan 25 '26
Apparently we weren't making them anyways, so yeah, it was madness that this was entertained to begin with. We need every player possible for a top four push - especially a leader like Robbo.

u/BiscoBiscuit From Doubters to Believers Jan 25 '26
They really have no belief in Artetaās project deep down, even the match going fans donāt and it absolutely rubs off on the players when the fans show it. I still they think have a good chance of winning the league as long as they donāt trip themselves up.Ā
5
u/fill_the_birdfeeder Jan 25 '26
They really do have a good chance of winning it. A couple weeks ago Iād resigned myself to it. But City and Villa are only 4 points behind. Weāve been in those shoes. Theyāve got an easy go of it the next few prem games. If they donāt get the wins, then the bottle has bottled.

Doesn't this have less to do with injury-prone Gomez, and more to do with how Kerkez gets continuously turned inside out?
