Thauvin has been utterly shit tbh.

Playing like the shit kid who always gets picked last.

Can't go breaking up the Anita-Colback Axis of Aids in CM though.

Send the useless cunt off.

Fucking half assed attempt.

Krul's kicking is a disgrace.

Cracking goal tbf. Cisse is utterly useless outside of the box.

Nice Colback, point where you want the balk and then stop running there.

He's a tosser. Hate people who go on about him being great for the game because of his persona, the things he says in interviews. Retards. I watch football to, ya know, watch football. If I want to see compelling characters I watch a film or TV series. There's no doubting that he's very good at his job, but I think he's shit for the game and I'll be glad when he inevitably fucks off again in a couple of years.

So you guys are telling me that TCD was wrong? I don't want to live in this world!!

That'd make some sense if Obertan had played on the right but out left he was never any threat to get to the byline and put crosses in. Really think he just reckoned Obertan mightn't be shite, worrying a thought as that is.

If he sees Perez as a wide player then why the fuck did he start Obertan all those games?

I'd have him on the bench with Perez starting up top, personally. Ideally would like to see Cisse used primarily as a sub that we can throw on when we're chasing the game.

Who cares if there's a thread about something that you personally wouldn't have assigned a thread to FFS?

Everton one for me. Just such an utterly brilliant hit. The fucking power of it man, felt bad for the net. The time it came at in the game makes it all the more special too IMO.

If Spurs are really after him I could see us cashing in on Ayoze if the 20m figure is true. Yes another good season could see us add another 10m to that price tag, but just as possible that he'll regress a bit or not get a lot of game time (I worry McClaren might not fancy Perez for some reason, Obertan started over him the first few games FFS) and we'll never see an offer that big again. Remember when we all thought 20m wasn't enough for Tiote? I'll be fucking gutted if he goes though.

Not seen him play but from what I know of him I do think a player of this style is something we need. Other than Mitrovic there's nobody in our squad that can act as a focal point for the attack, a target man if you will. Likely to be cheap and will probably be content to be a squad player with Mitrovic as first choice. Could see there being something in this. Not encouraging that everyone thinks he's shite though.

No he doesn't. If he thinks it's not a penalty then it has to be viewed as simulation with Bellerin's reaction. What? There was clear contact, obviously Bellerin is going to feel it's a penalty. I'd imagine that he's not given it based on the fact that it was an accidental coming together of the players' legs. Nah if he sees it, he gives the penalty. The commentators even pointed out that his view was obscured. So he should have to book Bellerin for diving if he didn't see the incident?

Soon.

Yep. Playing in the role he's meant to and, just as crucially, been given a run of games to show what he can do. Was always clear he wasn't one of Pardew's favourites and would be out of the team as soon as Pardew could get Tiote/Colback/Jonas back in there. Think he's gonna be one of the mainstays of the team moving forward, at least I hope so.

Won't be punished or spoken to or given a week off or anything. Will be right back out there next week. Hard to imagine there won't be a red and white Ferrari waiting in his driveway when he goes home today, some nude selfies of Wenger and a phone number in the glove box.

Actually blocks a dangerous looking through ball. Worst ref performance in a long time.

Well at least his ban is coming in the middle of this horrible run of games that we'd struggle in anyway. Get him settled down for his comeback because we'll need him. Nothing in our recent history suggests we'd go for Austin because of a 3 game ban. I'd agree tbh, he's almost certainly too pricey to be brought in as competition. Maybe someone cheaper, a young player who's more of a CF. Maybe we think Riviere can be that guy?
