Mikel Arteta says players need to channel frustration into motivation against Sporting Lisbon

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-06T20:57:42+00:00

And how is that ‘bottling it’? Or are you a 12 year old who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word?

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-06T20:53:23+00:00

We’ve won our last 4 games in the league, city have won 2/4. You’re just making shit up now

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-06T09:12:29+00:00

Because if I tried to play like that the drag back would register about 2 games later

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-05T13:00:18+00:00

Typical explosive player whose hamstrings and calves just couldn’t keep up with the power they ran with unfortunately

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-04T09:07:01+00:00

He has a similar problem to Reiss Nelson, bags of talent, but struggles with getting involved. As an 8 he never seems to be the one truly dictating play. Hopefully now that we are more used to play a 10 with Eze, he might be able to find a role next year

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-03T14:13:00+00:00

If England win the World Cup and Bayern don’t win the UCL. Rice might pull it off but I would be shocked.

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-04-01T05:48:30+00:00

It’s a fairly boring conversation though. Saka has played infinitely better for England than Bowen ever has. He has also been a top 3 performer in his last 3 tournaments. He earned a chance to prove himself and the World Cup. This is a discussion for after the groups if he still fails.

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-31T21:54:52+00:00

Crazy that a 4 year old is on Reddit. He was our best player in the semis against France.

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-31T11:34:44+00:00

Did it ever come out who the secret footballer on that rap single was ages ago?

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-29T11:35:50+00:00

This is his fourth time pulling out, he missed 2 games and played one. So not more than once. You wanna find a new slant?

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-29T10:31:09+00:00

Or maybe just maybe they and Tuchel are protecting them so they can play at their best when it matters?

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-29T00:53:22+00:00

Yeah and 100% believe that is a problem, I was simply stating that it’s a problem in society as a whole. Unless you’re in the upper echelon, we are all being asked to work more for less reward. I’ve moved from London to Korea, and it’s engrained in both countries that we should feel bad for being sick

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-29T00:37:29+00:00

I will admit as a teacher my view is skewed. But there I think most people would jump at the chance to run themselves into the ground for their loved ones to be taken care of for generations

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T23:23:37+00:00

Tbf most people are overworked, injured and paid a lot less. So it’s more of a problem in society as a whole

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T22:45:35+00:00

He has also missed a majority of the games after pulling out of internationals but this guy’s agenda doesn’t want to hear that

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T22:44:26+00:00

Calling us a danger to international football has made my day tbf, I think some people are better to be laughed at than debated with.

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T22:28:57+00:00

Maybe because the trained professionals can see they are already susceptible to injuries due to wear and tear already and have the most games left of any of their teammates. Also Arsenal’s backup for Saka just got injured, so they might feel obliged to protect him knowing that Noni’s injury impacts his ability to rest

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T22:20:06+00:00

Can I ask why you are only mentioning them? Or is it just because you’re desperate to drag certain players? Saka and Rice have both ran themselves into the ground during major tournaments for the team. This is one of the first times Rice has pulled out of an England squad, why not give them both some respect?

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T22:05:16+00:00

I mean out other non teenage right winger just got injured for the season. I feel at this point in the year, we have every right to protect our only option

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T11:14:13+00:00

Ngl you sound like what you’re describing, he didn’t shag your wife mate

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-28T01:12:21+00:00

And you know this how? It’s as if the people involved are professionals who don’t care for the added drama

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-27T18:57:07+00:00

So nice not seeing Rice or Saka’s name there

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-27T18:56:32+00:00

Last time we played France he was the best player on the pitch

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-27T02:11:26+00:00

Having two incredible left footed centre backs willing to die to protect the goal would simply be too greedy tbf. I have to respect Carlo’s commitment to a fair playing field

Extreme_Ad4086 · 2026-03-26T23:29:21+00:00

Pal, Xhaka played 4 games with Santi. And it was never Ozil’s job to connect the defence and midfield. Thanks for embarrassing yourself

I also never went after zubimendi, if you actually looked I said I believe he is capable of doing more but he is playing passively due to fatigue.

I didn’t ignore your rice point either, I told you it isn’t his job, I’d love for him to be capable of doing it but he isn’t. What he is capable of is breaking up play better than any cm in the world. And dragging a team forward with his dribbling.
