We will do it together!

We have a horrible first half against Nurnberg when we went down 2-0 before Gabriel Jesus comes on as a substitute and scores within 2 minutes. We went ahead to win the game 5-3 with two goals from Jesus, two own goals from Nurnberg and an Elneny’s rocket which would have been in the top 10 best goals of season has it happened in any Premier League game.

There isn’t much to talk about the game. It was a 90 minute of practice session where Arteta played some young players and tried to integrate the new signings in Jesus, Marquinhos. The interesting part for me was the press conference of Gabriel Jesus after the match.

When asked about if he is worried after scoring 2 goals and fans will expect it every game, this is what he had to say.

Well, it’s most difficult when you know you start like this and people expect one or two or three goals every game but like I said, it’s just the beginning of a big journey because we have a lot of amazing players and then the squad is young. I’m still young as well, so yeah WE WILL DO IT TOGETHER!

That’s some straight to the point, from the heart words. I think Edu has been pretty successful in selling the young project to Gabriel Jesus and it’s refreshing to see Jesus talking of it.

I have been a critic of Mikel and Edu, and I haven’t seen much in last two and a half years to be onboard to the dream they are selling to the world. Unless I see something different this season, with better football, better in game management and better RESULTS, I won’t change my mind but for now, I am going to be positive and cheer up the lads and our season.

Less than a month left when we start our campaign against Crystal Palace on 5th August, playing Leicester, Bournemouth, Fulham and Aston Villa in the same month – I am pretty excited about an easy run of games. All of these games will be winnable, we have sorted out our goal scoring problems and everyone would, hopefully, up their game.

Midfield bothers me with doubt over Partey. We saw Maitland Niles playing in the warm up game but I doubt he will play any big part coming season. We are still short of two players and a back up Left Back when Tierney was subbed in 30minutes. But for now, I will let the club deal with it and push my hopes as high as expecting us to finish in top 3 season.

A top 3 finish should be achievable after Arteta has his own playing XI and some. Pool and City are level above us but Chelsea are in a shit storm and I have huge doubt about Ten Hag been able to manage the egos in Man United dressing room. They have CR7 going on a strike already. Spu*s may be a challenge but shame on me if I don’t expect us to finish season above them.

Short one today, hope you are having a nice weekend. Hold tight, we will do it together.
