Bimpy474 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Arsenal attacking football versus Rafa's tactics? There is no logic behind this latest rumour. Not gonna happen. What ? You mean that Rafa despite having already asked Thierry Henry to become his assistant, for when he takes over at Arsenal after accepting the job, you mean none of that is 100% accurate... Well i just can't believe that isn't true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It's never going to happen, but I'd love to see him give the good old 3-4-3 a shot once we're promoted. Darlow Mbemba Lascelles Clark Yedlin Hayden Shelvey Lazaar Rithie Gayle Perez or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think The Mirror were pretty much right about the recent Ashley story, weren't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Think I read that we've let in 8 goals in 15 away games. Pretty fucking good that, if it's true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think Rafa's days of working at the biggest clubs are done anyway, tbh. Such is the ego of the modern superstar footballer his style will be unpopular wherever he goes where he isn't the biggest person at the club. Liverpool was a partial exception to this. Obviously it's our gain, hopefully. Agreed. His time at the biggest clubs are gone. At least consistently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Think I read that we've let in 8 goals in 16 away games. Pretty f***ing good that, if it's true. Read some stat on Twitter that when we've had 11 men on the pitch we've only been behind for 61 minutes away in the league this season and we were only ahead for about 93 minutes in away games last year. I thought it would take quite a big psychological shift to give us confidence away from home because of how bad we were last season ad Rafa's done it brilliantly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I love Rafa, but I still don't understand why he starts Colback time and again. Perhaps it's a case of having a lack of options, but that ginger tosser continues to be a fucking liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I reckon he likes Colback as a player, for whatever reason. He turns to him so often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hayden's been playing with a minor injury I think, and thats probably why he was rested and Foulback played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I reckon he likes Colback as a player, for whatever reason. He turns to him so often. Lack of other options really, if Hayden had shown his best side consistently Colback wouldn't get a look in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We have four center mids if you include Anita. There's literally no other option, Colback just has to play sometimes, especially when there's three games in a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally no other option, Colback just has to play sometimes, especially when there's three games in a week I still dont get that, Saturday/Wednesday/Saturday, that's not 3 in a week. It's 2 in a week and 1 in the next week. Should put this in the football pet hates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
