18th Century football? I'll take it. looool

Not yet, yeah he did ok in LC but dont throw him in this game unless we are like 5 up.
For me we need Fazio starting to counter Arsenals threat from Merts. We need a solid 3 in midfield, Capoue, Stambouli and Dembele perhals?
Nothing can save your midfield from a fresh and recharged Ramsey!

Wenger doesn't like winning things, that's the only conclusion I can draw. This summer was an utter waste. With the right buys, we could've been contenders.
Stambouli was rancid last night, I'd be surprised if he starts. Most likely Poch simply recalls the players that were rested and it's the same XI from last week, and we will therefore lose.
Capoue can't even handle West Brom's midfield, the only way we get something from the game is to pack the middle and play like Rangers that time they went 4-6-0.

Kicking the Welsh prick in the legs first minute might help.
And with Ade starting that is a likely scenario.
Don't be so pessimistic m8. How can you say it's a waste when Sanchez has improved several aspects of the gunners game and got us through Besiktas, as well as scoring other goals? Welbeck has his faults, but came together nicely against Villa. Sure the DM and CB positions still need more depth but it's not bad at all.
tbh, i don't know how much of a chance arse would have against chelsea even if they did add more to those positions. Because you know Wenger would have gone for cheaper, yet serviceable options with growth potential and not sure thing buys.
A crunching tackle in the opening seconds is what I want to see. Within reason of course. When we had Parker/Sandro in their prime they made their presence felt immediately, our current guys are far too soft. They don't intimidate anyone.

We should've bought Cesc, only 26million.
This is why I'm so damn pessimistic. Bunch of soft cunts.
And as for Ade starting, I'd rather give the training cone its debut. 😒

We lack passion and desire in the team.
Walker,even though he has had some bad spells adds some of that. Plus pace which we are crying out for in the league games. Its too much airy fairy passing it around 30 yards from goal and not actually just getting at teams without giving them time to think.
if only we could find a pacey Welsh winger or an intelligent CM
M8 Soldado has played several games for us already..
Ade was absolute dogshit last week but he's normally one of our better players in the big games. Like him or not he's one of our only characters and has big-game experience for some massive clubs. I would always play him in a game like this.

That's true. Hopefully he can wind up Wilshere and get him into trouble. 😂
The Moyes Effect wearing off and the Wigan Ways seeping in?

I remember Luiz almost killing Torres, with his shitty driving.
Would have been kind of beautiful in its own way
But that one red card a few years back against Arsenal...

Roman probably paid him to do it but Luiz fucked up.....

Everything is good now, Sebastian is on the pitch again!

Yeah
I just stumbled on the Asian Game wiki and saw this:
Apparently, Hong Kong women team managed to reach the quarter final despite having 0 points, scores 0 goal and concede 10.
India missed out because after removing the match against Maldives (games against the 4th place team doesn't count I guess), their goal difference is -20.

Ramsey has been shocking lately, to be honest. His passing is off.

That's my point exactly. He doesn't have the mentality of a winner.
Sanchez was a great start - but he failed to address three critical areas of the team. A DM, striker & CB.
When Wenger passed on Fab, people had hoped it was because he was saving money for those 3 areas. But he wasn't, and his incompetence means we've missed out on a WC player for no real reason.
Also £16m for Welbeck is highway robbery. He's shit and was 5th choice at Man U.
Man U replaced RVP before we did. What an utter donkey show on our part. RVP was right, the club lacks ambition. What a fucking tragedy.
PS: if we had bought a DM, CB and a striker. I guarantee dollars to doughnuts we'd be right in that title race (and not just in the EPL).

I agree with you, but...
Don't know what to say. If you expect Arsenal to be like Chelsea, City, Bayern and just buy the best during their primes essentially.... Don't see it. It's not going to happen, at least not with the administration and manager we have now. The hallmark of Arsenal finances seems to be sustainability uber alles, which i can't really get mad about. I agree that 16 is overpaying for Welbeck, but something tells me he'll ultimately fit in alright at Arsenal with some work. I would have rather had Cavani any day, but what can you do.
I guess we'll just wait and see what the team will look like with an amended defense, if it ever happens.
Ugh, I thought Sturridge might be fit for Saturday.
Not sure what will happen, Lukaku could bully the CBs but I think Liverpool will get a fair amount of opportunities given how Everton play. If I could gamble I'd throw a cheeky bet on a 2-2
Also any of you lads buying Fifa on Xbone?

Arnie will be happy with this.
Tiredness. Week off will do him some good. Ramsey does more running than anyone else in our team he needs to be managed to keep him in top condition.
Bloody phone.
Feel like he's believed his own hype somewhat; then after a couple of poor games he's struggling mentally. Doesn't seem to be a case of fatigue to me.
Some things are better some things are worse
Every year they try to balance it and tip it too much in one direction
I think this time they broke more things than the ones they fixed. Maybe with a patch it will get better but right now it is a mess, even the demo felt better

There's some terrible goalkeeper ai and some exploits, but I'm having so much fun.

We're 6 games into the season and he's Welsh, he's had the whole summer off... its more likely your training which is seemingly breaking the rest of your squad than his match activity.
That's why you've been awol. How much did you pay for your copy in the end?

Don't listen to Wooden. The game is awful.
He's showed clear signs of fatigue to me. Slowing down, lazy passing and when coming off looked exhausted. Maybe he's pushing himself too hard trying to change things? Maybe not fit from that injury he picked up playing for Wales? Who knows. From what I've seen though he looks tired.
Im lost in time
looooooooooooooool
