    Care to debate this instead of a lazy smart arse face?

    Ramsey poor, Bellerin looking like his run of form might be coming to an end, Gabriel as useless as ever, Giroud offered very little.

    Ramsey - first start after coming back from injury
    Bellerin - young player in being inconsistent, thats a surprise.
    Gabriel - had a poor game but has been very good since he signed, bull**** again.
    Giroud - had a poor game but again has been good this season.

    Monreal's crossing was awful today and Bellerin was really poor in general.

    Gabriel was badly at fault for the goal (as was Bellerin) but he played pretty well apart from that.

    Jeez thought we were catching a break with the Ox and Ramsey back now three more out for who knows how long. Need to install a revolving door in the physio room.

    Because you have nothing to respond with that makes my point invalid.

    Thank you for proving that.

    Any news on Sanchez?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,713 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    I wouldn't worry, we'll put together another amazing run from February to May when we're out of the race and then a will be rosy again. Next summer we'll be told the squad is strong and the manager has full confidence in his team.

    That's good to hear. I still am not convinced by Gabriel.

    OK, so we will be out of the race by Feb?

    As far as I'm concerned, we are playing like rubbish and somehow still in the mix. I can live with that for now.

    Our match against City on the December 21st is huge. Win that and we have a real chance this season.

    Your point? Or did I miss another post?

    "Ozil Sanchez wont hang around after this season."

    No idea what youre on about.

    I made a post. A poster responded with one of the smart condescending faces instead of actually debating my post.

    Now youre doing the same.

    I love the way, when we lose, we pick out the same two or three players that we feel didn't perform well :rolleyes:

    Giroud didn't have a chance to play well, how many successful balls into the box did they have? Oxade Chamberlain had two, can't remember anything else. Ramsey's just back from injury as well.

    What I am annoyed about is Wenger not rating Sanchez for the Zagreb match. I was annoyed to see him in the starting XI midweek, and for him not to come off in that match was even crazier.

    I think the problem is that Sanchez wants to play, and Wenger feels that resting him doesn't help him.

    Sanchez said he got a kick if he is right will be back for weekend

    Wenger thinks it's a muscle injury if he is right he will be out 2-3 weeks minimum

    We won't no until tomorrow

    So were going to debate if Sanchez and Ozil will stay at Arsenal after this season ends.

    Well from reading this thread we know that Arsenal have been doing the same thing for the last ten years.. So bad management. No ambition. Incompetence. So we could deduce that Ozil and Sanchez knew this and still joined so will be happy to continue? So I think you might keep them next summer.

    How bad was the ox when he came on

    Just making bad decisions

    Think he is a bit brain dead

    If I was going to choose an individual player to single out, it wouldn't be him.

    We have signed top players through those years who lost faith after a couple of seasons and left.

    Seems as if this season has a sense of deja vu I can see it happening with some of our top players again.

    Coincidence our form tailed off when we lost walcott as our striker?

    And you think that Sanchez would say no to playing a game if he had a slight problem? It was clear from my sitting room that Sanchez was due a rest for a long time. Playing two games per week at his rate is not sustainable.

    And this isn't about Norwich, this is about Zagreb. We shouldn't need to risk a top drawer player against a mediocre side.

    He's ****. I've explained my position at length before using numbers and statistics and logic. Today he cost us a goal. So again, you're not disagreeing that he was poor.
    Giroud - had a poor game but again has been good this season
    So again you're not disagreeing.

    It's amazing that you can agree with what I said yet in an effort to be "POSITIVE" and go against the big bad "NEGATIVE" you'll be so combative. It's rather sad really.

    Yes, but of course when we rest our top players against Zagreb and lose.........well, we all know what happens then, right?

    Oh I no that

    What I'm saying is he seems to always make the wrong decision

    Think your into something

    Think we need that fast striker to get the best out of this team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭shano_88

    He's just back from injury in fairness.

    Hasn't been great this year in general though, looks short of confidence.

    .

    Unfortunately using stats to show that Gabriel isn't good doesn't really work, because he's a solid backup, statistically.

    2 points from a possible 9 in our last 3 games is piss poor.
    We would win nothing with that and only 1 point from WBA and Norwich, two poor teams imo, is not even close to the form you'd need to win the EPl.

    I'm not surprised though really as we've all seen this before in other seasons where we failed to win anything.
