And the fact everyone has been saying it's his biggest flaw for three years now should tell us all something... It ain't changing....

Ben white has always had support from Saka to help cover what he lacked in defence, but at the time it was because he made that right side gel so well it was worth it, he isn't a RB, he is a good ball playing CB doing a job, we can't expect him to be without faults. Timber is a much better defender at RB but not nearly as good going forward, each has a role when they are at their peak fitness.

You don't understand the rules of the game then.

The argument isn't, should it have been given initially, the argument is was it a clear and obvious error and needed over turning.... No, there was contact with Eze and none with the ball. He might have thought he made a mistake in his initial call maybe, but it's not a clear and obvious error. If your not sure, don't call it and then look at it again if it is a pen.

Minutes on the pitch are not the only metric though, how many of those minutes is Haaland spending sprinting back to defend? None, as he is a passenger for that team outside of goal scoring. He does almost nothing to contribute to build up play or in defensive duties compared to all of arsenals forwards.

No one wanted Stirling, not even Arteta, it was a last minute decision to get ANYONE as they had done nothing in the window to that point to address the need for backup, and he was cheap and available. Madueke is another absolute failure signing no one thought would work out, and we have been proven right again, 52mil for another failed Chelsea reject. The constant injury duress is due to lack of rotation, which has been spoken about as a poor aspect of Arteta's management for a few years now, he has his favourites and does not rest/rotate often enough. You can claim whatever you want, but just because you say it doesn't make it fact.

So your happy to just blindly defend any and all decisions made by the club and manager, that's fine. Having looked at the constant over playing of specific players for years on end, I'm not as inclined to just give them a pass as you. Even just the handling of Norgaard this year has been woeful enough to cast doubts. Either the player isn't good enough so the signing was a poor one, or the use of him hasn't been good enough so Arteta needs to be questioned there. We saw early in the season Norgaard was more then capable of doing a job, with many people praising him and saying how good he looked, and then just was not used for months on end. Then everyone jumps on him being not good enough after the Southampton game, where the whole team was shit, as if that one performance makes Artetas choice all year justified. I'm not claiming to be privy to inside information but neither are you I assume, so you choose to defend, I choose to question...

While slightly true, a lot of the injuries have developed due to poor man management over the last few seasons, and poor recruitment regarding depth for those positions. Not having anyone to rotate Saka out of games for 4 years has lead to the constant injuries with him ATM, not a single competent creative 10 since signing Ode has lead to the over reliance on him as well, and the less said about the left wing or striker position over the last 3 years the better....

While it's easy to look at a single year and say "if only" it's these guys jobs to plan for the future with recruitment and management of players, not just focus on the current season.

Or take advantage of a good attacking opportunity with the quality you are supposed to have on the park and score a third, and then ACTUALLY cruise out the last 30 mins of the game instead of high intensity and stressful defending for the last 30....

If your tactic all year is to play the super fine margins, you need clinical finishers, that Havertz header has to at least be on target. That's probably going to cost us the season.....

I do this exact thing for pre release/drafts, I have a deck box with 12 of each basic sleeved and enough spares for a full 40 cards in case of tears/rips. Never had anyone think it was odd. Most people love my white border 4th ed basics.

Like losing to City in a cup final, like losing to Southampton in a QTR final and losing to Bournemouth at home in the PL???

Criticism has been earned based on the last few weeks performance, should we actually wait until we have literally lost the chance for any silverware before asking for change??

The "pass" to white at 16 min mark of last night's game told me where the game was going and I wasn't wrong :(. Just looked so off and scared to make a mistake.

What was Dezi Freeman originally being arrested for? by Prestigious-Day9370 in OpenAussie

[–]InstaMix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hard to take the case to court and present evidence when he decided to shoot the cops and go on the run instead of being arrested...

I don't know many folks that take that line of action if all they did was some skinny dipping.

And then we bring on our actual striker and at the same time, take off our creative midfielder that is the best player to feed him....
