Walsall Finishes in 5th Place in EPL 2021/2022

after last year surprising 4th place finish which bagged Walsall a place in the Champions League, we could only muster enough point to finish 5th this year thus missing out on Champions League game for next year.

Our best player American Striker Jesus Noriega missed about half of the games because of 2 long stint on the injury list and this probably cost us our Champions League status.

French Striker Odsonne Edouard who had a superb award winning year and regressed greatly and only bagged 8 PL goals in compare to last year 25 goals.

Young Spanish phenom Guillermo Arastey who is currently on Loan at Walsall from Villarreal, had a very good year scoring 9 PL goals on 19 PL appearances. He had 15 goals in all competition while making32 appearances. One of my main priority for the summer is to try to buy him from Villarreal.
