    Did Walcott not get 21 goals last year

    Not sure what planet you're on but Walcott didn't get 21 league goals last year on this one.

    Still right in it, not giving up yet

    Hope not too see Ramsey/flamini again

    Fair play to you for your faith anyway but i think the league is well gone.

    "Ambition." Ambition is buying Ozil and Sanchez. Surrounding them with medriocity is not.

    I kept the faith myself but there is only so far the faith will go. Id love to be wrong but fact is we have too many passengers. Our depth not enough. Not so much Wengers fault as the likes of Gibbs and Chambo have regressed further and let us down. Jack is forever injured and wont amount to anything

    Too many average players been defended every week.

    Ramsey is the perfect example. 6 good months then average for the rest but will never face criticism.

    Seems we have accepted mediocre players. Welbeck, flamini, ox, Gibbs, theo.

    Just too many. And our 3-3 against liverpool a few weeks back. I know I keep going on about it but people were praising the team after this?

    Look how bad liverpool are right now and we still conceded the usual late banker goal.

    Its just average and it seems to be accepted at the club nowadays.

    - Ramsey gets constant criticism.
    - Only one of the players you name is in our starting 11, at a push.
    - Liverpool played well against us.

    We have had a poor run the last month no doubt but the way this season is panning out it is by no means over plenty of twists and turns yet and we are still very much in the mix. Helps our best players are back now, need more match fitness eg coquelin and game understanding ozil and sanchez. They haven't played together since November and were our brightest spark tonight. We will improve. It's not over yet lads! On to the next game against Bournemouth

    Either of them. Ramsey has to be one of our most over rated players of all time. Cazorla is a much much better player, he is missed hugely. Very intelligent on the ball and very rarely gives it away. Ramsey on the other hand....... will run all day......

    Worrying slide down the league table. First to fourth and now only 4 points ahead of Utd.

    Getting destroyed by Barca is gonna be even harder to watch if we don't improve our league form.

    5 pts ahead

    Can't see us getting anything from barca I've already prepared myself for that

    Congratulations to city for becoming champions of 2016! Well done. Been the better side overall and played some great football...

    Cheers and best of luck for the next 3 seasons as I'm sure you will add more titles throughout those years.

    Ridiculous post regardless of the results tonight.

    I wasn't praising. I got slated for criticising them

    Our team which has had the best form over the last 18 months featured both Cazorla and Ramsey.

    Nope. They have it in the bag. There's to lose. Cant see spurs or liecester topping them but both will come closer then our useless club.

    You can bookmark and quote me on this in may

    But his **** now so why keep playing him. Get rid of players who only play when there's no pressure!

    That's the spirit!!

    In truth though I wouldn't bet against that and for the next few seasons too.

    A little over 10 years ago it was Fabregas, Van Persie, Reyes, Wiltord, Kanu, etc as our back up attacking options. Now its Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Campbell and Welbeck.

    Personally I have no idea why he's even being singled out. Rarely one of our worst players, often one of our best. Always criticized.

    And when you take out Cazorla the midfield doesnt perform as well. I think missing Santi s more detrimental than it would be if we were missing Ramsey.

    Been mad busy lately, came post as much

    Will hopefully get on the weekend for some more chat

    Keep it civil lads long way to go yet

    Enjoy

    Its been very obvious of late. He helps join the midfield and frontline without having to use the flanks.

    Everytime Ramsey got the ball he struggles to find the middle man and just passed it out wide.

    Yet we still won nothing. Actually I wanted Wenger sacked in those days as we had no excuses but Wenger

    Just one last thing

    I thought Cazorla was very poor so though having Ramsey on the right

    Maybe they need eachother??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,343 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    Bit harsh calling Welbeck mediocre.

    Didn't see a thing from tonights match but I'm assuming it's the same old story with us not finishing chances.

    Need a top class striker, defensive midfielder etc, etc, etc......

    I assume our January signing didn't get a sniff tonight.
    As much as I like Welbeck he's nothing short of mediocre.
