Would you change our setup at all, Tim?

And do you think we have the personnel for that?

I think very plainly that if this mess isn't cleaned up this season, like if these kind of results keep trickling in, you need to look at the club and say, okay, what changes have been made in the last few years?

The managers have changed.

There's been a high player turnover.

Some really big calls in terms of personnel have been made.

Obviously, there's been a reshuffle at the top with Jodie Taylor coming in and getting a bigger role as well.

So there's been a lot of action behind the scenes at Arsenal Women to suggest that this is a team that want to win titles and a team that want to start launching themselves towards a new era where they're back

at the top, the one constant is Claire Wheatley.

So I can understand why people and fans are getting frustrated and looking at it and saying, like, she's got to go.

Like, it's her problem.

She's got to go.

I think, obviously, when Jodie Taylor came in, there was questions of whether she's going to be leading recruitment, and the answer was no.

She's leading kind of more of the in-house, and Claire Wheatley is still –

really, really in charge of the recruitment.

And I think you're looking at a situation now, Tim, where you've got two new players sitting out of the squad two weeks in a row that maybe the manager aren't happy with.

Or maybe the manager's looking at these players and thinking, we could have gone bigger.

We could have made bigger outfits.

We're then going for deadline day signings for a centre-back who's not really raising the ceiling any more than a player that we just let go of is.

So I can understand why people are really frustrated because the squad build still feels like the problem.
