Manninger remember he had some top performances for us during that double winning season in 98 when Seaman was out injured. Actually won PL player of the month in March 98 too.
Bounced around a few clubs after leaving Arsenal. Maybe had a his best run with Red Bull Salzburg and Sienna in Italy in mid 00’s. Actually went to Juventus as back up for Buffon and won a Seria title one season. Actually went to Liverpool as his last club before retiring
Schwartz, only played one season with us and had a falling out with Graham about defensive tactics and left for Italy. Ended up back in the PL with Sunderland when they were on a roll with Quinn/Philips partnership.
That’s a tough run but if you want to be champs you’ll have to produce on runs like this.
Honestly I’d be disappointed if we don’t come away with 16 points come the end of 2023. Only games that worry me are Villa and Liverpool away. I think the home games need to be wins, no if’s or buts about it. Especially want to end this hoodoo with Brighton at the Emirates. Luton and Fulham also need to be 6 points, we can’t be dropping points there.
Great we got the CL top spot in the group sorted so we can rest quite a few first team players before that Brighton game. Liverpool to Fulham run is where Arteta will need to use the squad well.
