Think Lemina's a bit overrated. Slows the game up by constantly trying to dribble rather than passing the ball in poor positions

What happened?

I have to kind of agree with what my brother in law says given he watches them week in week out... I assume you watch them week in and week out also?! Giroud was a source of goals and another who would turn up in big games. Wilshere is their best player at the moment in terms of work rate, commitment and putting in a performance, he was their best player in the cup final IMO. Mind that’s not saying much given how poor they were all over the park. Sanchez was free to leave, but Arsenal allowed that to happen and while he was being allowed to leave they had Ozil a new contract... Arsenal’s best players for a while now have at some point wanted to leave and that’s because they cannot compete for the title and CL honours. They should seriously look at Ancelotti and while I doubt they’d take to Rafa’s football, he would sore them up, make them more competitive and would get more out of some of the players than Wenger is doing. I know. Y brother in law would have him to tomorrow. A dark horse would be Mancini. Either way Wenger has to go. I look at Arsenal now and they are such a poor team with average players for where they need to be at despite a huge spend. Even their best so-called player in Ozil is shit, a total luxury player who just gives up so easily as he did yesterday when being beaten to the ball by Walker. He allowed his man to not only ease him off the ball, but turn and take it forward while he was hands on hips looking forlorn. Unacceptable for a player that cost so much, gets paid so much and is considered their best player. They need a new ‘keeper, back four and midfield. Their forwards are more than good enough but are cut adrift and it’s either long balls on the counter or they play down the flanks and not the middle. This is the poorest football Arsenal have served up under Wenger, it’s so disjointed and lacking conviction. It’s as if they are hoping a purple does the business ala Pardew. Your brother in law is just one fan. Most people on here watch us every week yet there are always arguments about certain things on here. Giroud was awful in big games whenever he started in them, he scored a few goals off the bench but that's not the same. Sanchez was allowed to leave because he really badly wanted to leave, it wasn't a case of one or the other with him and Ozil

Think Adama Traore could get a move to a big club as some kind of wildcard at some point Was kind of gutted we didn't get him when we were linked with him last year

Giroud proved many times that he wasn't good enough consistently and especially when he started against big teams. Sanchez was leaving in the summer anyway. Wilshere wasn't even a guaranteed starter at Bournemouth last season and isn't Arsenal's best player. You seem to just be repeating whatever your brother in law says

People love to be able to say I told ya so

He’s shit now. Watch him tonight and he did fuck all, same at the weekend. Never rated him highly. He’s a good player on his day, but that’s few and far between. Ultimate luxury/passenger player. Compare him to Silva or De Bruyne Man. Agreed. When he plays for the national team, he has players around him who will do the donkey work. Ozil hides when he plays for Arsenal - especially when it gets tough. He's not alone though. He doesn't have the athleticism to affect a game when he's not getting the ball supplied to him in good areas, I don't think its anything to do with hiding. You are right in that he has players in the German team who can do the work for him mind. You play a midfield of Xhaka and Ramsey against Man City and you shouldn't expect Ozil to have a good game

Wonder what other "fucking shit" players have won German player of the year 5 times

Surely its just much easier to count tickets sold rather than people through the gate?

:anguish:

Nice free kick by Messi

Don't blame them tbh

Bellerin is embarrassing these days

They isn't

That's just a really weird thing to say

Better than with VAR in which linesmen aren't going to flag for tight offside calls in the first place as there is literally no benefit in them doing so. Don't see how that's better

Doubt it'll happen but if VAR is not going to be implemented then fans have to just accept that linesmen aren't going to get tight offside calls right all the time as they are basically guessing

Playing Arsenal! Think he was talking about Atletico being favourites, which they are. Milan-Arsenal should be a good tie mind

Atletico have been unreal lately. Wish they were still in the CL

One wrong, one right

I assume Llorente pulling the defender even though he pulled him first! But he didn't even pull him

Why was that disallowed?

Heard an idea once where 31 teams qualify for the World Cup and the 32nd is a 'best of the rest' selection. No chance after the expansion though. That would be absolutely shit mind

Remember you used to be able to play Europe vs Rest of the World in one of the old Pro Evo's

Don't think footsoldier is Russian
