You mean when he kicked Havertz leg that was good defending? Yeah if you can get away with it I suppose

I think we're at our best when we try to move the ball forward as quickly as possible once we get it, wherever we win it. Those Pep teams were...

Pressing combined with footballers being fitter, stronger and referees letting them 'play more' is killing football imo We always moan about...

That theory doesn't explain the performances in the CL group stage or the many other good performances i.e. Leeds 4-0. We have seen enough good...

I think the blown it narrative and the playing dull football narrative are simplistic. We have had a lot of injuries this year, and expecting all...

What's really important is whether Gordon is good at beating the low block. This is what we need. Players who are good against a low block. This is...

Not convinced playing through the press is down to just 2 players, Peter. The 3 Sporting players that played through us are probably no more skilled...

Calafiori was never fit at Bologna and he'll never be fit with us. I've also given up on Odegaard ever being available consistently. I think Timber...

Why? I'm not in the slightest bothered about losing Wed night. We have no chance of getting past any of the remaining teams given how bad we are. ...

It is amazing how difficult we make passing through a press look. At one point in the Sporting match one of their defenders had the ball at the...

That would be a fair point, Herb, had I ever said he was great, even once. But you're talking *******s, Herb. Again.

Our inability, or lack of desire, to pass through a high press has been with us a while, Peter. If Arteta could have solved it this season, with...

Yeah, because back in the Wenger years everyone came to Higbury/Emirates and attacked us for 90 minutes. No one ever put 10 men behind the ball and...

You need to get over Gyok, Rich. You told everyone he was the worst Arsenal player you had ever seen. He made you look stupid. You apologised. ...

I would have no complaints at all, GG. His arm was up, that is never a natural position - nailed on for me

It couldn?t have been more nailed on - GG is in the class As I think :-)

How Konate gets through matches without being sent off is beyond me. How Liverpool won the league with that donkey in central defence is even more...

Can't stop thinking about Diaby now. The goal against Villa :love:

Easily the worst ever player to win the Ballon d'Or, 7s. Every time I watched him with Barca he was terrible, a black hole of possession and wasted...

Yes, I moaned about Ozil's tracking back as well, of course his talent level was far beyond Ramsey's. Not having it about Diaby not being perma...

Someone on here, 2020 I think, back in the day had a terrible hatred of Diaby. He was one of the most talented midfielders ever to wear the shirt...

Well that was the first game in the CL this year that we have been that conservative. Munich, Atl Madrid and the rest of our CL games we played with...

With reference to our last two games, we lose that game with Kepa in goal

quite unbelievable. It was at least 10

It?s what he didn?t - we finally string a few passes together, he skips by a defender and has a simple ball to Odegaard for a great chance inside the...

This feels more suited to Havertz than Gyok. And Dowman can?t be far away
